The unseen hand is full of it, and my experience proves it. The unit I installed was a single piece stool with a 3.5 inch flapper valve and it performs flawlessly. Maybe you should get yourself some real life experience and then you can comment intelligently on whether they work or not.
There is no doubt of that. And, now, they will have done it twice.
The cost-benefit-value equation is foreign to government agencies.
“The unseen hand of the market disagrees with you, it would appear.”
“The unseen hand is full of it, and my experience proves it.”
If the ‘unseen hand’ is actually full of it, then that particular hand is likely attached to a Muslim
“The unit I installed was a single piece stool with a 3.5 inch flapper valve and it performs flawlessly.”
Nice to know that, but the market for the old style units exists and said existence says much about public experience with the “Low Volume Units”.
“Maybe you should get yourself some real life experience and then you can comment intelligently on whether they work or not.”
My, my - I didn’t mean to hit a nerve. However, do note that you are unaware of what properties I have owned, or what can be done to plumbing by either the public (business toilets) or residential Tenants-From-Hell acting out their inadequacies of the toilet..
No toilet will flush properly when you have put diapers or shoes or weapons in them.
Contractors and rental property owners have little incentive to use new technology usually, but not always because of cost in adopting a new standard.
The stools I installed were standard old fart design, they were less than $150.00 and I was amazed at the performance. You are never too old to learn something new. Flushes are almost instant.
I remember when Stainless Steal razor blades were first introduced. Old timers were still whetting their Gillette double edge blades, in the handy box you could buy for a quarter. Hard to find those today and they were much cheaper.
Sure there's a way around it.
Two ways, in fact.
1) Municipalities can tell Fedzilla to pound sand.
2) Congress can repeal the bloody ADA.
It's a mere act of Congress, not a law of nature.
That's true.
It's also completely irrelevant, and repugnant to a Constitutional Republic.
NOWHERE is the federal government, NOWHERE is any state government, delegated the authority to dictate toilet design.
That was a pure and simple power-grab; an act of tyranny.
Granted your points are valid but:
1)Most, if not all, local public agencies do not want to be the test case in a lawsuit.
and
2) And you have some confidence that Congress have the balls to do this!
Congress????
Balls????
ROFL!!!!!!
But seriously ... As 'conservatives' or 'constitutionalists', our political goals must include repeal of a whole lot of BS that the leftists have rammed through congress. It's necessary, IMO, to start pounding this concept on congressthings, congressional candidates, and our fellow citizens.
"It's the law" need not be the end of the discussion.
Laws can be repealed, and many of them should be repealed.
REPEAL the ADA.
It’s also completely irrelevant, and repugnant to a Constitutional Republic.

As is your statement. All I did was make an observation, toilets would probably have evolved without the mandate, but for what ever reason they are improved.
