verything else. Very unpredictable.

Well meanwhile Fox News is reporting that Mandy Moore you know she's a celebrity star Mandy Moore I guess her house was partially destroyed in the LA fires and she's finding that it's impossible to build back. So as she points out she has the contractor she has all the plans she's submitted everything. She just can't get approval to build. And apparently there have been six approvals given of 10,000 structures that were destroyed. Now how incompetent is California? Because don't you remember that there was this point where I think even Trump was warning the mayor that they're going to have to figure out how to get rid of all the regulations so they can build back in an efficient way. Nothing like that happened. Nothing.

Now I don't know why but if I had to guess it's very much like I was describing the DEI situation. Imagine if you're the part of the government that has control over approvals and you know what endangered frog has to be saved and you've dedicated your whole life to the proposition that we can't be doing these dangerous bad for the environment things. How are you going to change your mind if Trump comes to town and says yeah you just have to do it faster and cut some regulations. Are the save the frogs people gonna suddenly say oh well okay screw the frogs I want Mandy Moore to build her house faster? Not in any world. The people who created the rules are going to dig in and they're just going to say we can't change these rules. Are you kidding me? We'll lose a frog or we'll lose a fish. So I don't think that the people have the ability to change their minds. I mean they would be everything about their life would become a joke if they just threw it all away and said all right all right we didn't mean it about the frogs. Yeah go ahead build your house Mr. Rich Person. Build your house.

So I don't see how it gets fixed unless 100% of the employees who are involved in approvals are replaced because they're the ones who created the stuff. They're not going to throw it away just because somebody else wants them to. They'll just slow walk it because you can slow walk anything. And it looks like that might be what's happening. Doing a little slow walking.

All right ladies and gentlemen that's all I had for today. I'm going to say a few words privately to the subscribers on Locals. If you don't subscribe yet to the Dilbert comic which you can see on X if you subscribe to me on X today's Dilbert comic might be one of the funniest things I've ever written if I do say so myself. So you're missing out if you didn't get to see that today. It's pretty damn funny. Has anybody seen it yet? Those of you who are subscribers I want to see if you agree because sometimes maybe I just think it's funny myself but I think today's Dilbert comic the one that just the subscribers are seeing it just might be the funniest thing I've ever written.
