In order for U.S. businesses to go back to being in a relatively free capitalist atmosphere, we must get government regulations and government interference under control. In the HVAC industry, government regulations, not the best interest of consumers, is the main driving force. Costs of HVAC systems have increased to the point of ridiculousness while the safety of HVAC professionals continues to be more at risk.
The fact is that inflation always does harm to individuals, companies and private organizations while always benefitting government, mostly through increased tax revenue. This is why government agencies create inflation.

The Federal Government should have never been allowed to take over so many of our social issues. Had the Federal government only supported individual states as illness from the Wuhan virus affected the individual states, we would not be in the financial mess we are in and states would have made better choices in not doing so much harm to local businesses. The more the Federal Government is in control of our lives, the less freedoms and rights to make determinations about our lives we will have for ourselves. The Federal Government did way too much that harmed us than they did to help us.
Being involved in teaching indoor air quality, I know that masks cause a lot more harm than any possible good. Masks are completely up to the individual. HIPPA laws prohibit anyone requiring someone else to disclose medical information, including whether or not they have been vaccinated or not....

Being involved in teaching indoor air quality, I know that masks cause a lot more harm than any possible good. Masks are completely up to the individual. HIPPA laws prohibit anyone requiring someone else to disclose medical information, including whether or not they have been vaccinated or not. Just keep a distance from others and wash your hands often.

My biggest concern is that our state government is going to continue imposing wrong minded restrictions on the way we are going to be allowed to socialize and conduct business. A handshake is an important part of doing business; will we be allowed to return to shaking hands?

Those who care what is in their water are those who are susceptible to the marketing of water filtration companies, those who don't care for staining from minerals or metals in the water, those who don't care for the taste of sulfur, chlorine or other chemicals in their water and those who are leery of harmful bacteria in their water. Then there are those like me who don't care as long as it's not going to make me sick. People drank unfiltered water for centuries upon centuries, and I'm sure some got sick from poor water quality at times. Those who care will be good targets for water filtration marketing and those who don't care won't care unless they get sick.

Unfortunately, licensing is not very often beneficial to consumers or to businesses. Licensing is used mostly as a way for government agencies to collect money. In the HVAC industry, any technician is required to be EPA certified to handle refrigerants in any way. While HVAC technicians and HVAC companies can be heavily fined for improper handling of refrigerants, there is no method for preventing or punishing anyone not an HVAC professional who handle refrigerants improperly. In PA, HVAC companies are required to be registered with the District Attorney's office to obtain a contractor's number. This provides a way for consumers to file legal claims against persons doing HVAC contract work without at least being registered.
We need to be careful how open to bartering we are. The IRS frowns on bartering, and Big Brother is always watching :)

Anywhere can be a sanctuary when we really need one. Since I am on the road a lot, my vehicle is my main sanctuary. When a physical sanctuary is not possible, we need to be able to retreat within ourselves once in a while, if only for a few moments.
