So let us look at the costs of this NJ legislation. Here we go:
1. There are 1.8 million single family homes, SFHH, in NJ
2. 90% have lawnmowers that cost about $400 each
3. 70% have snowblowers that cost about $500 each
4. 50% have power washers at $400 each
5. 40% have chain saws at $300 each
6. Others we will just avoid now
The weighted average per SFHH are:
1. $360
2. $350
3. $200
4. $120
or a total of $1030 per SFHH
Or the current investment by SFHH is about $2 billion! The law says we must throw them out. Now we must all buy new ones in the next three years. Needless to say there will be at least a 20% premium, that we must spend another $2.5 billion, assuming they even exist!
One truly wonders where these politicians come from that they can single handedly place a $5 billion tax on SFHH.
And yes, we have not even considered the tens of thousands of small business folks who must do the same. Likely another $4 billion!
For what? One must recharge these and in the field it demands a gas generator! Dumb is a compliment.
