On the gas stoves issue [View all]

I'm a damn fine cook according to my wife and we have a glass top convection stove. Would I like a gas stove, yes, but has anyone priced not just the range, but the installation necessary to convert to natural gas?

So, it's fucking laughable when MAGAts are outraged at this bullshit that the federal government wants to ban the use of these types of ranges considering that most of them don't have a pot to shit in.
