When light bulbs are outlawed, only outlaws will have light bulbs.

Proles will be back to candle light and wick lamps.

6x the cost.

And it turns out that the European Commission is only writing a draft
proposal for discontinuing the sale of the least efficient of these
bulbs, with no penalties for flouting the ban. They are targeting the
poor quality bulbs manufactured in China, with the goal of motivating
those manufacturers to improve their products. Further, the phaseout
would occur over a period of several years, not instantly next year.

In other words, no big deal.

Of course it's no big deal, but people only read the sensationalized
headlines.

The fancy high-end designer bulbs cost 12X as much. If you just get
the slightly better bulbs that are compliant with the new law, they
cost 1.05X as much. Given a year or two, the better bulbs will cost .
75X as much as the cheap ones do now.

Let's all get our panties in a wad, and start an armed revolt!

Hmmm,
I wouldn't mind if they will last 12 times longer.

Can't do that, sorry. Britain banned guns a couple years ago.
