Ok, here’s my corporate greed call-out of the day.

I was dispatched today for a no-cool call. The indoor unit was running, but the outdoor unit wasn’t.

The system was a 10-year-old Bryant Evolution high-end variable-capacity inverter system. After running the factory diagnostics, I found Code 77, indicating the inverter board was detecting excessive compressor startup current.

Following the manufacturer’s diagnostic procedure, I disconnected the compressor leads to determine whether the fault was in the compressor or the inverter board. The results confirmed the inverter board had failed. The system is only 8 months out of warranty.

At that point, I started preparing myself to tell the customer the repair would probably be around $1,500–$1,900. I figured the board would cost somewhere in the $800–$1,000 range. After all, it’s just a printed circuit board.

Before giving the estimate, I called Carrier Enterprise for pricing.

$8,900.

Not for the entire outdoor unit.

Not for a complete system.

Just the inverter board.

That’s not a typo. $8,900.

In my opinion, this is the definition of engineered obsolescence. There is no reasonable justification for a replacement circuit board on a 10-year-old residential HVAC system to cost nearly nine thousand dollars. At that price, you’re essentially forcing the homeowner to replace the entire system instead of repairing it.

This is exactly why I’ll never sell Carrier equipment. They make decent equipment, but pricing replacement parts like this turns a repairable system into a disposable one. Homeowners deserve better than that.

Carrier Carrier Enterprise or anyone that’s sells this shit, care to elaborate why this board is so expensive?

🚨🌏🇪🇺 Yesterday The King of Morocco pardoned almost 2,000 Moroccan criminals on ‘Throne Day’

Today tens of thousands of Moroccans are pouring over the border - into Spain like never seen before.

Why?

Well if you were a Moroccan Criminal where would you rather commit crime?

The Streets of Morocco or Europe where you get your own Govt sponsored apartment & cash to help set up shop.

This is all by Design.

Good luck everyone.

This dude’s still a legend for making faces behind Fauci while he was crying.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

The Real Anthony Fauci became the #1 non-fiction hardcover bestseller despite being the most censored book of the decade. Bookstores, including national chains, refused to carry it. Libraries refused to carry it. Every major newspaper declined to review it. The New York Times refused to publish a paid advertisement for the book and made it #7 on its bestseller list, even though it outsold any other book by thousands of copies.

YouTube took down videos of a book signing. Amazon shadow banned it. Twitter wouldn’t let the publisher promote it.

Despite all of that, 1.4 million Americans bought the book because they were tired of the lies and they wanted their freedom back.

Then today, with hundreds of millions of Americans demanding the truth, Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times at his Senate hearing. The American people waited six years for answers. Today, they got silence. But that silence told us all we needed to know.

Thank you, @SenRandPaul, for your relentless pursuit of truth, transparency, and accountability. 🇺🇸

🚨REMINDER🚨

Fox News was paid to promote the Covid jabs by Joe Biden’s HHS.

The network edited an interview of a Trump official pleading with young Americans not to get the vaccine because of the long term health risks.

I know this because I was the booking producer.

People critical of the vaccines were not allowed on the network.

Today’s coverage on Fox is nothing short of fake.

They played a major role in the Covid op.

[Rep. Anna Paulina Luna @RepLuna]

Dr. “Mengele” Fauci may be protected by a federal pardon but that does not hold against state prosecution and civil lawsuits.

I am calling on the great Attorneys General and Governors of FL, TX, WV, and AR to bring charges against Fauci for crimes against children in exposing them to a vaccine that has now been PROVEN to hurt people. He is and will go down in history as one of the darkest souls who has ever been in federal government.

There is NO JUSTICE unless he is held responsible for the crimes HE committed against HUMANITY.

DEVELOPING: A formal sexual harassment complaint was filed against Democrat St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her by the city's police chief

"Chief Henry has reached this decision to step forward as a formal complainant against the Mayor after becoming aware that the Mayor’s conduct has extended beyond isolated incidents and has included sexual harassment of subordinate City employees, including members of the Saint Paul Police Department," Chief Axel Henry's attorney, Chris Madel, said in an April 1 letter.

More to come.

Gov. Sherrill’s refusal to cooperate with federal law enforcement does nothing to protect law-abiding NJ voters. NJ has a legal duty to keep ineligible voters off its rolls, & our request is grounded in that legal authority. DOJ will get this information through all legal means!

[Rep. Anna Paulina Luna @RepLuna]

During COVID, Fauci’s vaccination was a televised spectacle in front of the whole world, where he claimed it was safe with no adverse reactions. Then five months later he suffered from a pulmonary infarction (a direct side effect of the vaccine) which HE HID from the rest of the world!

While Fauci was being treated with the anticoagulation drug Eliquis by the best doctors, middle America was being pressured to take the vaccine and being LIED to about its potential side effects. He put us all at risk and many people died!

PROSECUTE. FAUCI.

ISLAMIFICATION: The Somali who chased and filmed Shiloh Hendrix and her toddler was charged with raping a 16-year-old runaway. The girl said Sharmake Beyle sexually assaulted her after luring her to a trailer and holding her there. Prosecutors dropped the case “in the interest of justice” due to his deep ties to the Somali community. Hendrix got a four-day trial and a conviction for words spoken under pressure while that same man filmed and pursued her - she received a jail sentence (suspended), fines, and community service. He walked free despite admitting to at least statutory rape. She was punished for hateful speech. Outrageous.

BOMBSHELL 🚨 Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge says she found evidence that Joe Biden’s family was being blackmailed by China (and shows the documents) and our mainstream media ignored the evidence

“What we saw in the release of the records, which I'm afraid I think in the media or legacy media there was kind of a willful blindness. They didn't want to look at the records. All you had to do was spend a couple of hours. I found these records which are talking about blackmail by China. It was for President Biden's daily brief. I can conclude, I think, that it was probably about targeting his family”

She explains earlier that all this was ignored and buried by the FBI, CIA and the media in order to keep Democrats in power

Think about how crazy this is: San Diego County is literally giving residents free air purifiers because of the ongoing Tijuana sewage crisis. When government is handing out air filters so people can breathe in their own homes, you’ve gone far beyond an environmental nuisance. If we can’t get this under control, why are we trusting any farm products?

MUST READ! Virginia regulators told Joel Salatin he could not sell chickens to his own neighbors because the AIR was “unsanitary.”

The farmer at Polyface was stunned. “I’m a voluntary farmer. They’re a voluntary buyer. We’re neighbors. What do you mean? We can’t butcher a chicken here and sell it to them?”

Officials said if one fly entered the processing area the chicken was adulterated and inedible. They demanded fly-impregnable mesh over the windows.

One problem: Salatin processed outdoors with no walls.

“It doesn’t say I have to have a wall,” he told them.

He brought in his senator, his delegate, and an attorney. Three months later he won. A legislative aide asked the regulators whether someone in Richmond had written rules that could never have imagined a place like Polyface. They had to admit yes.

A lab had just compared his birds to store-bought chicken. The supermarket birds had gone through 40 chlorine baths. His had none. Store-bought averaged 3,600 colony-forming units of bacteria. His averaged 133 — 27 times cleaner.

When Salatin pointed that out, the regulator replied that cleanliness was not all they were concerned about.

The real standard was never food safety. It was compliance. Small farms that actually produce cleaner food get crushed by rules written for industrial processors.

No, Washington warned against ENTANGLING alliances.

He wasn't foolish. He didn't imagine the US would not have favored allies. Every nation does.

What he warned against was allies whose interests we ended up serving on a reflexive basis, at a cost to ourselves. He wanted us to avoid becoming executors for allies' preferences.

If you mean you think that's the kind of ally Israel is, say it. You're wrong, but just say it. Don't rewrite George Washington. Foreign influence is inevitable, as are allies whom we favor at different levels.

Retaining proper discretion over our own choices isn't something we can only achieve by trying to block out foreign influence or looking with disfavor on the concept of alliances.
