In Topics: Environmental Stupidity Big-Biz Stupidity
Yes, it's been an extremely slow blog-week so far, Peakers. It's not that there not lots of stupidity to point out, though. This is one of the minor instances that make for short, easy-to-write posts.
We have plenty more to say about the Climate Calamity™ scam, in which I've been sorely disappointed. I really thought that it'd been left behind sometime in the midst of the Kung Flu PanicFest. Alas, and probably BECAUSE the PanicFest did not "reset" humanity, the pedal has been put to the metal on this one. This post, however, is NOT on that aspect of what used to be called Environmentalism, though. We're talking actual particulate pollutants this time, that come out of the smoke stacks of New York City pizza jernts.*
Some garlic powder, oregano, and maybe hot pepper would make it a perfect meal!
It's a big environmental problem, youse guys, says the apparently otherwise unburdened government of New York City, per (yet again) The Gateway Pundit, reporting thusly: NYC’s Green Rule Could Shutdown Upwards of 100 Pizza Joints [sic] in the City – March 20th Protest Announced. Green rules? Perhaps the use of more Bell Pepper toppings would increase compliance with the green rules, but then, my rule is YOU! DON'T! PUT! VEGETABLES! ON! PIZZA!
That's the rule, at least for my pizza, or I send it back:
This is more of that diminishing returns stupidity that the government of California is the most famous for. Is New York City a big hazy ball of particulate smog, full of smoke stack industries at this point? It may have been long ago, but Big Finance has been holding the city up pretty well (till the recent immigration unpleasantness). Cars don't pollute particulates, or even much of anything, like they used to. Is a small amount of pizza oven exhaust really something to worry about? It smells great - I'll take my chances. Of all the things that city is known for, a wide variety of eateries, I mean, as The Foodies would surely tell you, is one right on top there.
NY Pizza is known and loved by all. OK, not all - that statement may cause a lot of friction here at Peak Stupidity, Thick Chicago style vs. thin NY style - well there's no contest. I am happy to have a place nearby, far from New York, that does make this style, so I don't need to go to NYC to get some. Then too, last time I took a pundit to lunch there (you all would know him), he didn't really know the area and we ended up at freaking Unos.
That brings up the serious part of this story:
The NYC ‘rule’ will essentially require pizzerias with pre-2016 ovens to invest in a filtration system that will reportedly cost upwards of $20,000, according to the New York Post back in June.As GP writer Brian Lupo noted, this tyranny that's screwing over the pizza jernts with highly burdensome regulation and fines is just great for those bland Big Biz chain pizza places, isn't it? Other than having had that old ad (our title), Little Caesars sucks. With these little guys out of business, Pizza Slut can
Next time I'm at Unos in NYC, I'll check behind the toilet tank in the men's room, hell, maybe the women's room too - they have to let me in. If I see a gun duct-taped back there, I'll figure all is still right with the world.
* Think Archie Bunker here, who lived in TV NYC, and you'll know this word.

PS: Alarmist, $6 might have gotten you a large slice before the era of BaiDeinomics. Who knows, now?

PS: Good morning, Adam!
I have a real aversion to cooked onions, Adam, as healthy as they may be. So those veggies gotta stay off too. Then, since you mentioned this, mushrooms aren't bad, as are olives, which are also both not vegetables.
My personal preference is nothing but pepperoni topping or nothing. Italian sausage will sure do though, as with those olives and shrooms.

PS
As if $6 a slice isn't enough.
BTW, Eggplant Parm is OK on a pizza.

PS: Top o' the evenin',
Tomatoes, peppers and mushrooms are not vegetables.
And onions belong on pizza; one of the few vegetables that do...
