to 75%

Original Article

First gas stoves, now wood-fired ovens. New York City will be cracking down on wood-fired pizza joints to reduce carbon emissions by up to 75%. “All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Ted Timbers said in a statement to the New York Post on Sunday. “This common-sense rule, developed with restaurant and environmental justice groups, requires a professional review of whether installing emission controls is feasible.”

I love it. Leave it to the Dims to destroy an iconic NYC food. Soon NYC ballerinas and Rockettes will have to wear codpieces - out of 'equity', of course.

Yep. All those high end wood and coal pizza joints are in the low end neighborhoods, according to NYC. Shut ’em down, so the low end residents will have to truck to the high end neighborhoods to get electric oven pizza’s. Let ‘s be sure to eradicate taxis, too…their emissions are immense.

Words fail. People have been cooking with wood fires for what, 40,000 years, 60,000? It might go back to that first caveman who dropped a piece of Mastodon meat into a fire by accident. Every archaeological site in existence produces wood ashes and some form of cooking implements. New York city is going to save the world? They had better get their people civilized first. Ted Timbers is an idiot but then you already knew that.

No evidence required. When Democrats talk about "common sense rules" you can be sure it will not be common nor will it make any sense, but they sure as h e double l like to make ruled. This is just more of the conditioning to get people to buy any nonsense and accept any restrictions on individual freedom.

Bureaucrats pay practicing job security. Now that the big stuff has been accomplished in cleaning up the air, they have to go deep into the weeds to find stuff to show that they and their department are still needed. Otherwise, the whole lot of them would be without a job. This is why bureaucracies never die!

#13 and that is why the public schools are a mess. Good teachers have to leave the classroom and become "administrators" in order to make mo5re money. As "administrators" they must continually change things in order to justfy their existence. IMO schools would be better with less administrtion and higher paid teachers snd eliminating teacher unions where successful teachers are paid the same as the incompetent

There's only a handful of wood fired pizzerias, which are by far the best. Closing these pizziolas won't even be a blip on the co2 radar. If you're in town, may I suggest you patronize Totonno's in Coney Island for the BEST pizza before it closes after near!y 100 years in business.

Wood burning stoves and fireplaces are on the list, and BBQ cooking with wood or charcoal, fire pits, and only God knows how much air pollution comes from cigarettes. Fireworks should be outlawed. We have all seen the smoke the exploded shells produce. Basically they should just make eating and heating a crime punishable by death. I suggest that they cut down ALL the trees so that no one is tempted to light a fire while camping out to cook a hot dog and s'mores. I am tired of this f - ing nonsense and these stupid ass people.

FTA: "This common-sense rule, developed with restaurant and environmental justice groups, requires a professional review of whether installing emission controls is feasible." Here's the rub: "...requires a professional review of whether installing emission controls is feasible." Who's the "professional?" Answer: The "professional" is some guy or gal who has taken a few hours of classes on how to determine whether there is space available to install an emission control device (perhaps some kind of catalytic converter?). This professional will be given broad discretion to impose emission controls or to waive them. That person is in a classic position to extract bribes from pizza joints who will happily pay a few thousand to avoid an expense of tens of thousands to purchase and install an emission control device. This provision could have been written by the Italian Cosa Nostra. Instead, it has been cooked up by the New York governmental bureaucracy.

FTA, "and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” There's your first clue Sherlock. It isn't the high end pizzerias in older neighborhoods and lower incomes with poor quality air. Its the coal stoves and heaters! More modern neighborhoods have abandoned coal heat and cooking. The issue isn't pizzerias, it out of date heating and cooking in poorer neighborhoods where priced controlled rent has left landlords without the money to update the tenant housing. But just as the Feds crack down on doctors for narcotic persists to fight the fentanyl epidemic (clue, it aint docs, its Mexican cartels walking fentanyl across our insecure borders) without any results, its an act of 'see how we are addressing the problem by punishing the law abiding innocent' approach to goobernment.

Nearly every pizzeria in Italy - - has a wood-fired stove. You see the "Forno A Legna" (Log Oven) signs everywhere. New York - - with its massive Italian heritage - - was one of the few places in the USA to carry on this delicious tradition. Now the commies want to destroy it - - as they want to destroy everything which gives other people any pleasure. And yet - - the dopes who nowadays inhabit New York City - - will continue to vote for the same commies who passionately hate them. Go figure.

How much of the rest of the world burns wood for cooking and heating? Compared to wood fired pizza joints, the NYC pizza places contribute almost 0.000000001 % in carbon emissions. But, politicians love to pass laws & ordinances that contribute NOTHING practical-its all for show. And just to prove how comical this effort is,,,,its being pushed by a guy named Timbers! You just cannot make this up.

It has long been universally established that when it comes to the possession and declassification of so-called “classified documents,” U.S. Presidents enjoy a unique power and privilege. In 2017, the New York Times acknowledged that “Mr. Trump has the power to declassify or disclose anything he wants.” The Times quoted Steven Afterfood, a government secrecy specialist, who said that “the classification system is not based on a law” and that “it is an expression of presidential authority, and that means that the president and his designees decide what is classified, and they have the essentially unlimited authority to declassify at will.”

Schools nationwide will no longer be able to discriminate against students on the basis of race. How outlandish were Harvard’s affirmative action policies? An African American student placed within the 40th percentile of their academic index is more likely to gain admission than an Asian student who ranks in the topmost, 100th percentile.

Joe Biden's slew of regulations implemented over the course of his two-and-a-half years running the country have cost every American household nearly $10,000. If the president continues on his current regulation path and is reelected for a second term in 2024, according to the report from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, Americans could be slammed with a $60,000 increase in costs by 2028. Meanwhile, estimates from the report found that former President Trump ended up decreasing the cost of Americans by nearly $3,000 per year during his four year term.

Two separate decisions were reached in which the nation’s highest court ruled that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill engaged in unlawful discriminatory practices based on race that violated the Constitution.
