Yeah, it’s not exactly cut and dry. I’d rather try to address this real problem by creating more independence between banks and the state though.
Me too. Step one- Abolish the fed (Ron Paul).

Yep. Though if anyone was gonna do that it would have been Paul. I think abolishing the FED is a lost cause. Its one of the reasons why I'm so hopeful for bitcoin. Technology does a better job obsoleting the state than politics does reforming it.
Trump will continue to disappoint those that put their hope in him. At best we get scraps.

Yes! Fiat will be this century’s urban horse manure.

My frig went out a couple weeks ago. Thankfully it was still under the warranty but it was under 5 years old. Compressor went out. The repair guy said its super common.
All I could think about was fiat being the root cause along with energy conservation at all costs. The compressors on these newer fridges turn on and off a lot more to save power. They have smaller fans. To save power. If they aren't kept clean they burn up fast.
The governments require low power consumption and the side effect of breaking is not a concern. You have to buy a new one... there's not competitive pressure from another company making a more reliable unit because that would require more power consumption.
So its fiat + the state putting their finger on the market to distort it.
In the last 3 months I have had a water heater and a fridge go out. Both less than 5 years old. Fiat does ruin many things. And almost no one talks about it outside of our circle here and in bitcoin. Some days it can be maddening.

I wonder if this will change in the near future (probably not in CA), because Trump signed an executive order decriminalizing functional appliances.

Yes, that's my pipe dream
