We need to take care of the environment. But please bear in mind that the fact that the EPA even exists is traceable back to the ill-conceived 17th Amendment imo, state lawmakers foolishly giving up their voices in Congress by ratifying that amendment.

As mentioned in related threads, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate environmental issues.

And even if the states had delegated such powers to Congress, the Constitution prohibits Congress from delegating federal legislative powers to non-elected bureaucrats like those running the EPA. So corrupt Congress is wrongly delegating powers that it doesn’t have in the first place.

Getting back to the 17th Amendment, the problem with 17A is this. Voters go home and watch football after electing their favorite federal senators, oblivious to the idea the that their corrupt senators are working in cahoots to with the corrupt House to establish unconstitutional nanny agencies like the EPA.

The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.

It seems simple to me. Mount a video camera on the shower head with a timer to turn it on five minutes after the water starts. Then broadcast the video stream over the internet.

Note, there must be an interlock that prevents the water from starting if the camera is inoperative.

The low flow showerhead in my home does nothing but waste my time

Unscrew the shower head, look inside for the little plastic flow regulator thing, rip out with pair of needle nose pliers.

Problem solved!

EPA Soldier: I'm afraid we lost them, sir.

Cargill: Damn it! Well, then you find 'em, and you get 'em back in the dome! And to make sure nobody else gets out, I want roving death squads around the perimeter 24-7! I want 10,000 tough guys, and I want 10,000 soft guys to make the tough guys look tougher! And here's how I want them arranged: tough, soft, tough, tough, soft, tough, soft, soft, tough, tough, soft, soft, tough, soft, tough, soft!

[pause] Soldier: Sir, I'm afraid you've gone mad with power.

Cargill: Of course I have. Have you ever tried going mad without power? It's boring, no one listens to you.

Dear EPA:
Every year a vast amount of potable water is wasted in the form of human urine, which is sterile and potable; I propose your agency commission a study on how best to prevent the waste of this tremendous resource, which is simply a remaining vestige of a patriarchal, restrictive hierarchy. May I further propose, in order to save transportation costs and the inevitable climate disruption that it will entail, that we establish a ‘test bed’ at your Washington, D.C. headquarters? I will be the first to volunteer.
Sincerely,
A Concerned American

Really hope I don’t need the ‘/sarc’ tag!

People pay for their own water at home. They generally pay a fixed price at the hotel and do not incur additional costs as more water is used.

Hotel showers are often more soothing because they have extra water pressure that can’t be obtained in ordinary residential plumbing.
