One of his weird fixations. He's fixated on water-efficient plumbing fixtures, windmills, sharks, cognitive testing. He's a massively insecure person, and mean and arrogant to boot.

No he doesn't. He's telling you he doesn't want the government designing our appliances and putting forth ridiculous fiat regulations because they don't know WTF they're doing.

The whole reasoning behind many of the regulations today is to make Washington Dc feel like it has control over the people rather than any good reasons.

They make these idiotic decisions and then there are unintended consequences that everyone has to live with (except them - they often write exceptions for themselves).

He's not arrogant. Our overlords in Washington DC are!

He is just so WEIRD. Such a bizarre person with such bizarre fixations. Low flow water fixtures (which I don't think are really a problem?/have been around for a long time), sharks, windmills, his MIT uncle, cognitive tests. I think it would hilarious if Biden could get him into these tangents at the debate.

I really want Biden to ask him if he's seen his friend Hannibal Lector lately.

(My mom had dementia. People with dementia develop fixations. One of her fixations was The Sopranos, and you could really get her going on a Tony Soprano tangent if you asked her. This is what Trump is reminding me of. Just another reason he can't be President again.)

Batteries?

Maybe because 46% of EV owners want to go back to gasoline powered cars. Original study and presentation from McKinsey was posted here. I'm not going to post it again.

Explain the shark and Hannibal Lector fixations, please. I'd like to know how they are so important that they'd be prominently mentioned by a candidate for U.S. President.

Sure. That’s what he’s saying. He’s not saying that a battery is so heavy that it’s going to sink the boat, followed up by whether you’d then rather abandon ship near the battery or near the shark.

I guess, but the message Trump is really conveying is he doesn't want the government designing goods and products and lawyers in air-conditioned buildings who can't change a flat tire on their car to put out regulations "for the betterment of society", because they don't know WTF they're doing.

See the EPA.

So weird. These aren't things that normal people stay up all night worrying about.

Clueless. The government isn't "designing" anything. They set standards, and it's industry that comes up with the design to meet the standards. And the standards aren't even remotely arbitrary, they are based on data (much of which also comes form industry), like whether the amount of water we want to consume is sustainable relative to the amount of water that we can draw down from aquifers and reservoirs. And by the way, Trump's anecdotes are absolutely delusional, I've never even remotely had to flush a toilet "10 or 15 times" as he hyperbolically claims.

So what part of government should be in charge of designing solutions and effectuating difficult change? Because if you leave it entirely to the corporations, they'll continue us on a path of consuming and destroying every natural resource like locusts laying a path of destruction.

They certainly ARE designing them. Do you know about the system engineering process and "shall statements" to create requirements?

The product shall do X.

They product shall use no more than Y water.

The product shall use no more than Z amount of power per cycle.

You are delusional if you don't believe bureaucrats in Washington DC are creating requirements that effect the design, longevity, cost and performance of just about everything you can own today. Wake up. This is centralized planning at its finest.

+1

All you Republicans are supplying wayyyy more thought to what Trump says than anything he means.

Actually, keep going. You guys are probably safer being kept busy by spinning your wheels on trying to make Trump’s nonsense make sense.

No, the reason for the regulations are (in no order):

1) the health and safety of workers
2) guardrails on limited resources like clean air and water
3) consumer protections

If corporations had their way, there wouldn't a limit on the number of hours one worked each week, or a minimum amount of pay, or safe working conditions. There would be no control that what the consumer was buying was in fact what was being sold and there would be no standards in terms of pollution, discharges, etc.
