    MONTGOMERY, Ala. — In a move that has sparked widespread debate, Rep. Mack Butler, R-Rainbow City, introduced a bill in the Alabama Legislature aimed at prohibiting the dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere to alter weather or sunlight, drawing concern and fueling “chemtrail” conspiracy theories.

    Prohibit dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere to alter weather… hmmmm… you mean like carbon dioxide? Maybe this lawmaker will inadvertently help fight climate change?

    Water is a chemical and crop dusters do actually dump other substances from aircraft. So, in a way, chemtrails are real. Just not in the way the conspiracy dumbasses think.

    That reminds me of my favorite rock that prevents tiger attacks. I’ve had it with me for years and it works perfectly. Yet, whenever I bring it up, people make fun of me.

      I remember that scene from an episode, too. Just not which episode it is. Pre season 10 I think?

      Probably because you’re making references to a ~30 year old episode of a cartoon, as if it’s your own joke.

      I would suggest stop voting completely. Use non aggression principles, have a lot of guns for self defense. Stop paying involuntarily extortions/taxes to the criminal organization. The largest criminals organization (the government) won’t stop spending and getting further in debt. And taxes will increase further until UBI arrives. 😂

          You think they give you a choice to pick the ruler who will really represent you? Quite delusional. How about full anarchy (life without rulers) and full self responsibility?

            No i agree with that first sentence don’t get me wrong, but like the choice was Trump or not Trump… And a lot of people did nothing and let it happen

            Also, are you saying not voting is how you get a life without rulers?

        Yeah, that’s a lot of dumb ideas. Not paying taxes puts me in prison… all the rest of that goes out the fucking window after that. Your plan sucks.

          If you alone do it then yes, you get in trouble, but if only 10% of population will do it then things might change really quickly. Watch Larkin Rose on youtube.

    … this article is kinda shit.

    Says 8 states but doesn’t tell you which ones, just that Tennessee and Florida are 2 of them.

    Says 8, tells us 2.

    WHO ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO POINT AT AND LAUGH???

      It probably isn’t hard to extrapolate what the other 6 states are if you know that Tennessee and Florida are 2 of the 8.

      Conservatism was never a part of reality. The Dems just decided to join them in lala-land, and apparently the voters too…

        Conservatism is just reactionary post modernism, nothing is real but their personal visceral reaction to some event, and historical events themselves are given innate mystical properties such as things “existing in a vacuum”, and the lovely “its just natural” analysis. Democrats are just really good slow walking reformists owned by capital interest.

    All forms of condensation must be exterminated!

    Anyway, the reason they want to push bullshit laws is that bullshit laws can be used to punished whomever they like precisely because they are not founded in reality.

    If it wasn’t so sad it’d be hilarious that all these states are banning imaginary ways to control the weather while at the same time gutting the EPA and air population controls, so real ways to influence the weather.

      You vastly overestimate the US education system as a whole.

      “Condensation can only form on glass”, while not in a conversation about contrails this is a response I got from an adult human who graduated high school. He was standing 3 feet away from a steel pipe covered in condensation and dripping onto the floor.
