Fiery Flood Of Polar Bear Death Alert: Madison, WI to Ban Drive-Throughs

Madison, Wisconsin to Ban Drive Throughs

…out of global warming hysteria. In order to green up the city, and prevent cars from idling, they’re going to ban all restaurant drive throughs. This is likely to be followed up with any other drive throughs, including prescription pickup, banking, etc.

This town sounds like a homeowners’ association gone nuts. If I were living in this city, I’d be picking up my business and leaving – while it is probably within the authority of the city to do this, the idea that the local government should be so intrusive in the day to day affairs of business is absurd. Especially when such an action will not only have zero impact (we’ll do a global warming post on this later), being on a scale too small to fit, but will likely cause more environmental damage than if they’d let it be. (Cars produce more emissions during start-up than when idling.)

  1. I wonder what kind of reaction this is getting from Parents of small kids.

    Particularly with Multiples. Cause if I had to get my kids out of the car every time I went to pick up food, a prescription, etc, I’d be getting very hot under the collar.

  2. Did they really go through with this? That can’t be right…
