Utility workers are highly trained. Apart from the cost in human suffering, the effect of re-training these workers every few years when many of the current workers become incapacitated by this immense exposure, will be very high--not to mention the possible risk of electrocution for those workers who might be suffering cognitive impairment.
If firefighters, among the healthiest and strongest members of our community, are given an exemption on (implicit) health grounds, what about young children, the aged, or infirm, who are much more susceptible to this kind of injury? One can only wonder if, in our quest for more technological thrills, we as a society are starting to descend to the philosophy of Nazi Germany, where the weak and infirm were considered to be useless eaters, who had "life not worthy of living." Those found to be disabled, mentally impaired, or too infirm to be employed, were simply gotten rid of. This included large numbers of children.
You may hear that 5G is different than previous forms of wireless technology, e.g. 3G and 4G. This legislation gives the go-ahead to implement thousands of new radiation-emitting structures, which may or may not fall into the category of 5G, so could include 4G, etc. In Europe, many countries are starting to officially recognize the harm that wireless radiation is causing, and are calling for more limitations and regulation of this technology, even banning it in some areas (as in schools for young children and public libraries). Yet we in the United States are so enamored by it that we are supposed to accept a massive roll-out of cell towers with absolutely no idea of what the health impact of this might be, other than the numerous previous studies indicating high death rates near cell towers, and a few beginning studies showing very detrimental health impacts from 5G, in addition to the thousands of studies showing very harmful effects from existing WiFi referenced above.
Although the authors of the bill assure us that the public is protected because it falls under all applicable federal regulations, the FCC limits on wireless radiation are based on 30-year-old information, and have not kept up with the massive amount of research re health impacts done in recent years. Even if one were to accept the FCC guidelines as protective, the agency is not doing any monitoring to see if the telecoms are complying with their woefully outdated standards, and independent researchers have found existing levels of wireless radiation that far exceed the limits set by the FCC. And that's before these additional 50,000 cell towers are added in California.
So what are the fiscal impacts of this massive and unregulated roll-out? A lot more people will be getting sick and requiring Medi-Cal/Medicare coverage. A lot more people will be staying home from work and needing paid sick leave. A lot more children will be staying home from school, and for every school day missed, the schools will not get paid for that child's attendance. A lot more people will be needing to take extended (or permanent) leave from their jobs and will require disability payments.
A lot more people will be flooding into doctors' offices and emergency rooms, looking for the unknown cause of the terrible headaches, confusion, ear ringing, seizures, nose bleeds, chest pain, heart palpitations, severe insomnia, and numerous other symptoms that people have reported as result of massive exposure to wireless radiation (most noticeable after the smart meter roll-out, since the symptoms suddenly occurred that had not been present before). The doctors may or may not be able to properly diagnose them and the treatments are few and far between, other than avoidance of wireless radiation.
Those who have financial resources are in some cases able to protect themselves in a limited way from the onslaught of this radiation. They can buy or rent a house that is far away from other houses and use only wired landline phones and highspeed ethernet or DSL connections. They can opt out of the smart-meter program (for which they have to pay extra). Some pay a thousand dollars for a special canopy to put over their bed so at least at night they are not being radiated while they sleep, or they buy very expensive paint to coat their walls for protection (which also requires paying a professional emf remediator to ensure that it is done properly), or they may experiment with an endless array of gadgets that promise relief. They may pay a fortune to see one of the very few emf-specialist doctors, and then are put on a regimen of expensive vitamins and supplements, told to eat only organic food, etc. Some people derive some help from this; other don't.
The average low- and middle-income person will not be able to afford the forms of protection I've described, and many more who are unable to tolerate the massive increase in radiation will end up becoming homeless, sleeping in their cars as they only way to limit the amount of their exposure. Those without cars will be left with zero options, not even homeless shelters, since virtually all the residents carry cell phones. Hundreds or possibly thousands of people will leave the state to look for a place where they can live safely. If similar bills are passed in all states, the increasingly large numbers of emf sensitive people will be forced to leave the country, if they have the means to do so.
