There's nothing wrong with noticing
Death penalty for this asshole
The chickens are coming home to roost for Newsom and his ilk.
Once again, the left is guilty of burning America to the ground.
HEAR HEAR, Mr. President! o7!!
How convenient!
Are we witnessing symbolic destruction hidden within the guise of a natural disaster?
Nice catch, Fren :)
The music!!! KEKKITY KEKKKK!!!
'Tis an excellent question indeed!
Washington, DC—New energy efficiency standards finalized today by the Department of Energy (DOE) will lower costs for households using new gas tankless water heaters. The standards
will reduce total costs by an average of $112 over the life of the product when compared to purchasing and using less-efficient tankless models, according to the agency. They will also cut 32 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions from water heaters sold over 30 years.
The standards—due six years ago by law—are based on efficiency levels recommended by a coalition of product manufacturers and consumer, energy efficiency, and environmental advocates. They complement strengthened standards DOE finalized earlier this year for electric tank and gas tank water heaters.
“This is a commonsense step that will lower total household costs while reducing planet-warming emissions,” said Andrew deLaski, executive director of the Appliance Standards Awareness Project. “These long-awaited standards will ensure more families save with proven energy-efficient technology already used in a majority of tankless units.”
The updated standards will require new gas tankless (also known as instantaneous) water heaters to use about 13% less energy than today’s least efficient models, effectively requiring products to use condensing technology that wastes less heat. More than 60% of new units sold today already meet the new standards, and all major water heater manufacturers sell such models.
The separate standards finalized earlier this year for other water heater types will require a similar percentage efficiency improvement for gas tank models, and a significantly larger efficiency improvement for most electric tank models. Those standards will take effect in 2029 while the standards for tankless models will take effect in late 2029 or early 2030.
DOE estimates that the standards for tankless models will cumulatively save consumers $3.1 billion—an amount more than 100 times greater than the $20 million it projects that manufacturers will need to invest to upgrade product lines that make the less-efficient type of tankless water heater.
More information about the final standards is available in an ASAP fact sheet.
Yeah, there should be a fair but firm requirement to a) be a citizen of the United States or legal documented immigrant; b) a requirement to live a certain amount of time in your property if you buy within the US; c) said property is restricted from being sold to an international buyer. Would need to work out the specifics, however I think it would prevent scrupulous outside investors from snatching up and subsequently flipping real estate into a an asset which can be used for, say, money laundering.
I lived in a rental many years ago where the prior owner, which came before the landlord I rented from, had been taking the rent and not paying the mortgage, sending all funds back to their home country. They eventually fled back to Vietnam. We can't allow this if we are intending to give legitimate US citizens a priority chance at owning a home.
Of course there are ways that individuals can still game the system to their advantage, but there has to be some sort of mitigation method which helps actual citizens and restricts foreign speculation and acquisition of domestic property. Canada actually implemented such a stopgap measure because they have a major problem in this exact area.
I also feel that banning outside (foreign) investment in real estate would be another boost in regards to making our nation great.
True, Canada's one of the more China-heavy western countries.
Got a link for the source of this, Fren? Or did you write it?
When there's no consequences for their shenanigans, there's no incentive to stop.
WE ARE THE NEWS
Think: MIRROR
I'm confused. Is this an extremely sophisticated joke?

Who is Connor Gaydos? Apparently he is Enron's new CEO and we choose to believe this.
An Enron TikTok account wasted no time in introducing Gaydos in a video that feels equal parts satirical and disturbingly real. A young man in a buttoned up shirt and blazer calmly introduces himself and claims to be the CEO of Enron. How upset should we be about the fact that he was only five years old when Enron crumbled like a day old cookie?
"It's not often you find yourself on the front page of a future history book," says Gaydos in a voiceover. The video shows him drinking out of a mug with the word Enron on it, then slow-walking down a hallway while pointing to someone off-camera. Aaron Sorkin would be proud. In the next shot, he has turned the mug around to reveal the words "World's Leading Company," which you can buy on a t-shirt on the Enron website. Yes, there is a website!
The video continues with Gaydos saying he loves to learn, he loves challenges, and most importantly is committed to speaking in platitudes. He knows there are always going to be problems in the world, but Enron can help. "The culture that I've created here is amazing. It's unbelievable." He goes on to praise his young, diverse, innovative group of young thinkers. Gaydos did say "young" twice.
Gaydos promises that something big is coming, and the Enron website appears to back that up. As of Dec. 12, 2024, the homepage features a countdown clock, which suggests something is going to happen in 25 days. If we weren't having so much fun with this, we might actually be terrified. Speaking of the website, it's pretty good. We can meet the new executive team, peruse the careers section, and learn about the new mission statement via a press release. A lot of work went into what we assume is a bit.
If we can be serious for a moment, Gaydos is one of the people behind the Birds Aren't Real movement which means this is undoubtedly a goof. His company, The College Company, purchased the Enron trademark in 2020 for $275, per CNN.
While we think it's hilarious, actual former employees of Enron told WUSA9 they don't find it funny. "It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?" asked Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings.
If we can't laugh at the mistakes of the past, we are doomed to repeat them. Guess we should all mark our calendars for 25 days from now because the energy feels electric.
Good comment, u/GGRockz. That's one reason why I took a little break from here, in order to pull back and view things from above. Getting caught in ground-level friendly fire while there's a bigger war going on is detrimental.
It's fine to critique InfoWars, but David Martin is and always has been a truth-teller about the globalist viral machine.

Does putting your feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk count as violent behavior? Also, what ever happened to her laptop?
