TL;DR: don't drink raw milk. Get an ordinary flu shot if you haven't already.

This is the third story of the NYT ran about this today. The other two covered the policy itself, and the likely health consequences

California has a long history of barring registration of vehicles which do not meet its pollution standards. You'd need to not just buy out of states but fraudulently register it as if you resided in another state. Billionaires do this with eigth homes for their personal race cars, but basically nobody else does.

He's old enough that he had polio before their were vaccines to prevent it, and had a leg paralyzed for an extended period of time. Probably saw other kids forced to live in an iron lung and maybe even die

No. Instead we can:

  • ask our Senators to reject the antivaxxers from positions where they have power over health
  • ask for our states to step up to protect vaccine availability
  • make sure people around us know how much good vaccines do
  • make sure we and our families get vaccines before they're taken away from us

Put that anger into organizing your community and telling people about what is going on.

It makes much more of a difference than any kind of self harm

I don't expect that to go very far in the courts; they don't generally assign that kind of personal liability to government officials for policy decisions.

Only for relatively minor gun offenses — the murder charge is a state law violation, and the President can't pardon those.

There's also an implicit guarantee that the federal government would step in an make deposits good if there were a bank failure large enough to wipe out the FDIC

A managed phase out with viable replacements for transport and heating is very different from getting rid of stuff today
