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.

With so many dembots existing by leeching off productive people, the thought of losing that, by making America more efficient is scary.

It’s akin to explaining to a old Soviet how they are going to get bread after the fall of the USSR.

Why would you be terrified of eliminating daylight savings time?

Disektochronophobia can also be a crippling source of fear for some.

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.

I don't see how a clock supports natural circadian rhythms. We need to wake at Dawn & wind down at Dusk.

I have Alexa turn on a orange light at Dawn then bright at Sunrise. At Dusk they go orange again until 10:00pm they turn off.

This may not align with school or workplace times. Those places will have to keep adjusting their hours accordingly.

I don't understand why that "terrifies" you, Elon Musk is a historic visionary and the most successful Entrepeneur of modern times, so I don't see anyone better to advise the executive branch on the most effective ways of downsizing the federal government to fit our means. This is not optional, if we don't take drastic action this country will experience a default and all the horrible consequences that follow, incrementalist just will not work.

Will he succeed? that remains to be seen, he'll have a lot of resistance from entrenched interests fighting to keep the gravy train running but the fact that he's willing to put his intellect and ability to work tackling this enormous problem should be applauded by every citizen that cares about avoiding fiscal catastrophe and preserving individual liberty.

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.

No one is paying $8K for an electrical inspection

That’s because you want the status quo, spend spend spend. Who cares about a 36 trillion dollar national debt?

I posted "$8,000 for an electrician to sign off on electrical" and yes that is what it cost to get a new breaker panel or solar panels certification signed off. I've seen homes condemned because the family living there couldn't afford to pay for certified electrician after lightning strike.

I guess that depends on where you live, it didn't cost me anywhere near that much to get a sign off on my home solar panel system (if I remember right, it was a few hundred bucks).

That’s simply bullshit.

“For an electrician to sign off on…”

That's what it cost me in Clearwater, FL & St. Louis, MO & my brother in Dallas, TX.

However Missouri just passed law 442.404 stating No deed restrictions, covenants, HOA's statutes or ordinances, regarding the placement of solar panels or solar collectors to the extent that those rules do not prevent the installation of the device, impair the functioning of the device, restrict the use of the device, or adversely affect the cost or efficiency of the device.

Did you pay $8K for an electrical JOB?

Because if someone charged you $8K for an inspection you got ripped off or you’re lying

$8K is just insane, I live in Las Vegas, and we have a similar law here regarding prohibiting restrictions on residential solar panel installation but like I said it was around a couple hundred bucks for the inspection and sign off and took maybe an hour to complete. Of course, my HOA complained about the color of the electrical boxes and wanted me to paint them to match the color of my house but I told them to go pound sand and they eventually went away.

Yes because the licensed electrician's all refuse to certify the work unless they do it. There ain't much labor involved with them changing a meter base, yet the price was still the same.

So you lied.

You paid $8K for an electrical JOB that included an inspection.

Of course your cousin Joey coulda done it for a third the cost if ya don’t mind your house burning down

My cousin is not a master electrician who can get the electric company to turn on PTO (Permission To Operate) SIM card inside the grid tied inverter. Must be certified by licensed electrician, manufacturer certification, architect / engineer certified plan, inspected by city, then electric company and must at all times provide proof of $1 million insurance coverage to the electric company to prevent them from turning off your PTO.

I've seen video where it took Musk Solar City, 6 months to get PTO turned on after they installed many systems.
