Why does the Trump administration pick dumb and petty things to make their top priorities?

Like claiming water saving shower heads "just dribble" or that you have to flush the toilet "ten times" - neither of which is true.
The latest: The start-stop feature in many newer cars, they apparently want to ban it despite the fact that you can easily turn it off if you don't want it. https://www.wral.com/news/local/epa-targets-start-stop-systems-may-2025/ Start stop has never hurt anyone. "It's annoying" doesn't make the cut for me. I care a lot more about not getting poisoned by PFAS in my drinking water, or getting sick from listeria or e. coli from food products. I care about dangerous consumer products that actually harm people. I care about not being bankrupted by a medical emergency or the elderly not ending up homeless because they can't support themselves. Rearrange your priorities to the things that ACTUALLY cause harm and get back to us on the "annoying" when you've done some actual good in the world. |

| Elect a dumb clown, expect a dumb circus. Elections have consequences. Next time Americans need to vote competent professionals who have their best interests at heart. In the meantime, this administration will prioritize flying over white South African “refugees” on expensive military jets while cutting food stamps for hungry American kids. |

First Democrats insist they are not doing what Republicans claim they are doing. Then they insist the thing they are not doing is actually good for you.
I saw this play out with gas stoves. |

| (1) They are dumb and petty, but more importantly (2) Trump does outlandish things for big attention to distract from the truly concerning things his administration is doing to the country - ie: dismantling government services in the name of saving money, while actually spending $166 billion dollars more than the last administration in the same time frame; taking away Medicaid in order to give the richest people even more tax cuts; violently disappearing people without any due process, including people who are here lawfully with no criminal record. The "palace in the sky" stuff is all dumb, petty distraction from the slow walk of horrors that is going to keep snowballing until we don't recognize our 'free country" at all anymore. |

| The article you posted says nothing about banning that feature, though. It would be very strange and possibly illegal to ban it, I agree. But that isn't happening. |

| I disagree with most of what Trump does but don't have an issue with eliminating the incentive. And I feel like this administration has the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit? |

While many vehicles offer a button to disable start-stop, the setting typically resets to "on" each time the vehicle restarts. Some models don’t offer an off switch at all, leading some drivers to turn to aftermarket software to disable the feature, raising concerns about warranty and emissions compliance.
The EPA’s proposal would not ban start-stop systems but would eliminate the incentives that reward automakers for including them. |

Our party has the done the SAME. Please stop acting so one-sided.
We didn’t even honor the first amendment and family’s right to raise children the way they want to. |
