I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.
I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says “the policies are dumb” but can’t give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.
So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?
Yes, this is essentially what I mean about the difference between science and california’s knowledge. The warning labels are directed at humans using the products, so one would hope that the warnings would be for things that would have some reasonable chance of causing cancer to humans using the product but that’s usually not true.
Don’t forget industry purposely overusing the tag to both a) water down it’s effectiveness and b) try to weasel out of any future lawsuits with that particular product.
Truth be told, the law needs to be rewritten now that loopholes/exploits have been found. Humans make mistakes when writing the laws. We just need to do some tuning.
The labels are there to encourage businesses to seek different formulations, as product with labels will sell worse than one without.
The enforcement is done via civil suit so placing label that makes it hard for ordinary person to reasonably avoid exposure won’t fly in court with jurors being those same people.
