California Classes LED Component Gallium Arsenide a Carcinogen
Reader LM741N, pointing to a report released this month by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, writes "Gallium Arsenide has now been listed as a carcinogen. Given the increasing usage of gallium arsenide, the main constituent in LEDs, and their recent championing as more efficient light sources in recent news stories and Slashdot, there may be significant environmental concerns as related to their disposal. Morover, workers in industries using the substance may be at risk of cancer as well."
Truly, a downtrodden people, crying out for the better way of life enjoyed by their fellow men in Mississippi.
I'm sure all the middle class people in California giving thirty percent of their income to the government (soon to be more if we become an Obamanation) are really happy about it and wish the government would take more of their money.
#1 GDP of US states
Surprise! The US State with the largest population has the largest GDP.
Its = possessive. It's = "it is"
trickle down isn't pixie dust. It doesn't make everyone rich. It's not supposed to. But, there is a reason that even our poor in the US are much better off than many average citizens in 3rd world countires. That's because trickle down, DOES indeed trickle down. It's called 'Trickle' for a reason. It's better than having the government attempt to plan who gets what, there's just too many variables for that. Everything the government plans for our money has a two fold negative effect: A) something always comes up that was unintended and negative, and B) it reduces the incentive for someone to become successful (i.e. rich and taxable) on their own if there is nothing but additional burden incurred in crossing the line. Don't even bring up Paris Hilton or her ilk, because they aren't anywhere near good representatives. Most people who have money earned it, despite what 'pro-socialists' or 'redistribute the wealth' fans would say, they did not inherit it. Of the wealthy in the US (according to a Wall Street Journal survey,) 69% earned it without inheritance, and 6% solely inherited it, and 25% or so say they've a combination of the two. Source
