Government reaching to govern wood burning consumers

[Let her rip]

I really dislike people with defeatist attitudes and usually those people don't vote anyway. Trump was elected by a majority of registered voters, myself included and I have complete faith in what he decides and implements. Far as Musk is concerned, the man didn't get to where he is today, in monetary standing or actual physical ownership of companies by being stupid. Quite the contrary and I trust Trump's judgement on him 100% as well.

Both Trump and Musk are successful businessmen. In my view that makes them ideal to run the government in Trump's case and advise in Elon's case and...

Remember that Musk came here as an LEGAL immigrant, unlike the thousands of illegals that the former President allowed in that are now gonna have to be deported at great expense to the taxpayers, me included.

Waiting patiently for Tom Homan to drop the hammer on the illegals, which, I'm confident will commence soon. Tom is another focused individual and a 'bulldog' when it comes to border enforcement.

All I have to say on this subject.

Ironically Musk was an illegal immigrant at the start of his career

And if you think that just because someone can become successful that means that they got their legitimately you don't know much about business. Elizabeth Holmes became a billionaire through fraudulent schemes and Enron became 6th in global ranking on Forbes 500 through fraud too. So if your measure of what makes someone ideal to run government is how much money they have you are in for a shock.

Defeatist attitude? Time will tell how much of a winner you are for putting your faith in politicians and billionaires

Well it is probably just a matter of time before intentional burning of wood is regulated.
I hate the thought of that. I love my fires!!!!
But i also understand that my actions may impact others. I can grasp the idea that my freedoms impose limits on others.

I really don't believe that gov is trying to control us through limiting our options for no reason. What would they gain??

Gov makes out best when everyone works and is somewhat happy. Needless suffering is not in their best interest.

My house is not in a neighborhood. I hope I can burn for quite a while longer.

What else would I do with my Chinese chainsaw ..

I remember the air here being clear and being able to see clear across the valley most of the year. Can't do that now, constant haze and poor air quality. We have a wood stove and won't be getting rid of it, but use our heat pump most of the time. Costs the same to run the heat pump as it does to go get firewood, but the manual labor involved in firewood is massive and the heat pump is pushing a button on the wall. Side benefit, much cleaner as well. Makes me wonder how much of that haze would disappear if most people used heat pumps instead of a wood stove. Heat pump tech has come a LONG way, they operate efficiently down to much lower temps than they used to, and DIY mini splits are super inexpensive. Worth a look.

That said, there was a maintenance power shutoff yesterday for ~7 hours. Were we cold? No, the wood stove was doing it's thing.

Observing the ineducability and lack of emotional control of those who aren't conservative/conservative- libertarian, is always amusing. The meltdowns caused by their cognitive dissonance is fun to watch, too.

I voted for the guy too, but trust ANYONE 100%? Absolutely not. Complete faith in what ANYONE decides and implements? Absolutely not.

Every politician should be kept under a microscope and we the people should have our thumbs poised over the "you're fired" button, reminding them constantly that they work for us and not the other way around, no matter whether they have an R or a D after their name.
