[BULLDOG]

The idea of Musk and Ramaswami being handed the ability to make drastic changes in how our country works. terrifies me. They are both well accomplished, but not in the disparate areas they will be modifying. However, I just read that one of their first goals will be the elimination of Daylight-Saving Time. That's not a bad idea. It serves no purpose that I know of and is a drastic inconvenience in so many ways. I can support that particular goal. I'm still not comfortable with them being given such a broad mandate, but I expected much more disruption from their first ideas. I guess we will see what happens.

It is a math problem.and not particularly.complex relstive to more advanced math equations. Americas debt is unsustainable.so something drastic needs to be done. It should have been addressed in his first term but you have many self serving enemies in America who didn't want him to.address this.

It should terrify everyone – that it doesn’t is the problem.

When an administration enters office with a stated goal of, for the first time in America's history, literally bringing down our very institutions, it's certainly fair for reasonable people to be concerned. At best, this would create serious disruptions and losses for millions of Americans. At worst, who knows. It doesn't help matters when that administration represents a swath of the country that essentially operates in an alternative reality.

Did everyone who voted for Trump want this? Of course not. Many are just not paying attention to the political minutiae, and they're used to a sclerotic, do-nothing government. That's understandable, kind of.

So, we just watch. And, assuming that our electoral system and access to voting still exist intact in the next couple of elections, we'll be able to voice our opinions on the results. The one thing we know is, ya never know.

They need to deregulate construction of Owner Occupied Single Family Homes (OOSFH) so we can build more to eliminate homeless. There is no reason why we must pay $8,000 for an electrician to sign off on electrical, or solar upgrade or installing EV charger. The owner occupant is not going to endanger his or his family with shoddy electrical work.

Upgrading electrical on OOSFH for minimum of a year works in Florida without them killing people.

Those inspections should be reserved for multi-family apartment's & condos.

Same goes for architectural / engineering on regular OOSFH. We have thousands of years of building experience & standardized plans, there is no need for redundant architectural / engineering on OOSFH.

Same goes for OSHA rules for homeowner upgrades. There is no reason a home owner can't remove his own asbestos! He isn't going to remove enough to harm his health. Those rules are only needed for workers who have to handle it on a regular basis.

This country has gone completely overboard on excessive safety regulations!!! They have driven the cost of housing & solar beyond affordability of millions of working people. Being homeless is more harmful than living in a house you built.

Eliminating Daylight Saving Time...


I'm all for it, provided they put the country on the correct time setting... which would be the one we are on currently, standard time. Standard time is the natural one. Standard time supports natural circadian rhythms, reducing risks for cardiovascular events and promoting overall physical health. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine advocates we permanently stay on standard time because it is more in line with a person’s natural bio-rhymes and produces less negative health outcomes.

They terrify you?

I don't see why. I mean, their idea of allowing JD Vance to bite the heads off trans puppies is a fine one instead of Kamala and company paying for their transition, and I like the idea of turning the EPA and department of education into a competing gladiator subculture to duel each other in a newly built coliseum at the Captial where they can fight each other to the death. Think of the tax payer savings as they kill each other off every year.

It will be fine, you will see.

The Founding Fathers barely survived without the 4rth branch of government. They were all literally on life support awaiting the bureaucratic Leviathan that sucks away trillions of taxpayer dollars every year. How did they survive without organizations like the EPA and Department of education?

I'm glad Kamala did not win. After all, the words Genocide Harris simply is not as much fun as to say Genocide Joe.

As it is, Genocide Trump is bad enough.

I’m glad she didn’t win too but I recognize Don won’t be that different, if his cabinet picks are any indication.

I've already talked about this strange duo, but so many Trump lovers are head over heels for Elon Musk. Musk knows nothing about any of those cabinet positions, nor does he have the time to learn them with all of his business ventures he has to babysit.

Time Change: This will be awful. Only a greedy rich man would strive for something so awful manly for profits. This will cause small kids to have to stand outside in the pitch black dark to wait for school busses from November - March. That is a very bad idea due to all the rapist, child molesters, bad drivers, etc... From November-March it will be pitch black outside when parents are dropping kids off at every single school. A filthy rich man would NOT care anything about that. Our elders got it right when they came up with day lights saving time to protect the small children. This generation and that filthy rich Elon Musk has it all wrong.

We change the time due to rotation and revolution: Earth experiences two different motions, rotation and revolution. Earth spins on its axis, and it takes one day to do so. In one day Earth makes one rotation on its axis. Earth also travels on an elliptical orbit around the Sun. And it takes one year to make a complete trip. In one year Earth makes one revolution around the Sun.

So, as expected, you have nothing to contribute. You just whine and complain about your leftist politico-religious ideology being rejected by the voters.

 

[crossbody]

I believe changing the time is going to cause it to be sooo dark and dangerous every morning (Nov- March) outside for kids each morning that each state is going to vote to go back to day light savings time.

It's will take every dad and grandad to stand outside in the dark at each bus stop- we would also need parents to board the busses packing heat each morning as it will be too dark for us drivers to see who is getting on those busses.

If Elon Musk changes the time; from November-March it will not get light outside until 8am. Busses run at 6:30-7:30am.

Many in congress have been trying for years, Rubio is or was a big champion of ending it. Nothing has happened.

Nope, theirs will be an advisory board. It will be up to congress to enact their suggestions that fall outside of the executive branch's ability to issue marching orders to the various agencies.

They could suggest a RIF in a particular agency and Trump could issue orders to make it so but neither they nor Trump can change law.

As for DST.

The Uniform Time Act of 1966 is a law and will have to be changed by congress and signed into law by Trump.

That's the problem quite a few of congress has with changing it.
