Today is a great day to call your congress members.
Streisand Effect in overdrive with this Reagan commercial thing.
Imagine the PhD papers being written on this ....
BTW if you don't own a cheap USB endoscope that connects to your phone I highly recommend one. Amazing how often I find a use for this thing.
Gave that sucker a good push with a screwdriver and it popped right out. Confirmed the vent was connected on the other side and low and behold, good air flow for perhaps the first time since the house was built 25 years ago!
Go inside the house and check the fan, seems to be a lot of air blowing OUT of the housing. Could be a reversed polarity on the motor but that seems unlikely.

Poke my endoscope up there and there is NO exhaust port, just sheetmetal where it is supposed to be!
But there was another vent as well that likely went to our first floor bath. I turned that one on and there was zero airflow coming out.

Cleared a bunch of wasp nests and debris out of that one as well, still no airflow.... hmm mystery.
Fun side quest this morning. Started off when I noticed the exhaust vent in our master bath wasn't pulling very much air. Checked outside and sure enough the vent was full of old wasp nests that I had to clear out.

Airflow improved dramatically...
I wonder what history tells us about creating entire generations of disenfranchised, undocumented, angry people who have to break the law to protect their family.

I'm sure it's nothing.. I'll just watch the latest news on Israel and Gaza......
One rule would strip aid from families where a member is in the U.S. illegally.

Families could keep their assistance if the ineligible member moves out. But HUD expects many families to give up assistance out of “fear of the family being separated.”
Millions Could Lose Housing Aid Under Trump Plan
Drafts of unpublished rules obtained by ProPublica detail plans that would open the door to full-time work requirements, two-year limits on living in federally supported housing and stripping aid from...

Lol something tells me that parents would be 99% in favor of vaccines if they realized the penalty is their kid having a yearly 21 day outage on school day care...
150+ unvaccinated kids in two schools? What the fuck are we doing here??
One small silver lining of all this is that I know I won't have to think about who I'm going to vote for in any future election for at least a generation.

President Trump wants to cancel nearly a billion dollars that would expand auto manufacturing in our state and help Michigan workers succeed. Cancelling these projects will jeopardize good Michigan jobs and our competitiveness against China.
You know who has time to attend protests? A bunch of furloughed federal workers.
Sure seems like Democrats in Congress could seize the narrative by announcing they are forgoing their salary
Just an interesting thought.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government
This has to be some of the pettiest shit I've ever heard about
I don't know what the lesson here is but I think it's that we can't be distracted by flooding the zone tactics. Have to focus the force to increase the pressure.
Flooding the zone with shit makes the area expand and reduces the pressure to a background hum. You can't exert enough force to keep the pressure high. Nobody can. Our attention span is too weak and our social media outlet "actions" are impotent.
I feel like not enough people understand that outrage is a force and it acts as pressure. The more things you are outraged about the less pressure you apply because it's spread over more area.

P = F/A
Bad press is the only deterrent
Always is
oh. it’s a shakedown
