    I’ve logged thousands of hours on a weed whacker and never seen one spark lol.

    I had a Husquvarna that had a spark arrester on the muffler—and periodically it would get clogged with soot and choke off the exhaust. I thought the thing was a lemon till I figured out what was going on with it. But I took the spark arrester off once I figured out it was the culprit and the thing ran like a champ.

    I suppose it’s theoretically possible one would throw a spark and start a fire but it’s a minimal risk in my experience.

    Why stop at driving? The country, and the world, would be better off if they all stopped breathing too.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    The OP point is ludicrous beyond words.

    Cutting down driving will do absolutely nothing to mitigate wildfires in CA. People who think so should look in the mirror before mocking Trump over raking leaves lol. It’s idiotic.

    It’s a no-brainer.

    It is intended to demonstrate the illogicality of climate alarmist arguments, I'm disappointed that you didn't see that, reductio ad absurdum.

    The TDS afflicted are incapable of having a serious discussion on that.

    If there isn’t an angle that makes Trump look bad—they couldn’t be less interested in it.
