Step 1, install all the hvac ventilation.
Step 2, complete the permits with no heat pumps. Step 3, install furnace and AC unit.

What a waste of time.

Oh noooo, new houses must have efficient heating and air conditioning, the horror!

Are they actually required to put AC in new houses, or did you make that up?

I don't know if it's required but 95%+ of heat pumps that heat also cool. An A/C is a form of heat pump, what we know here as heat pumps are generally reversable so you can use it for heating and cooling.

Yep, I was talking about the reversible nature of heat pumps. If it's going to keep getting hotter here, should be building new houses with air conditioning.

That’s not the way it’ll be. New houses will be built with HVAC ducting and then after the inspection, people will install a furnace. This is so stupid it isn’t funny.

Only if they're completely fucking stupid. Hmm, yes, let's install a furnace and AC for more than it would cost to install a heat pump that can be both. Excellent idea.

I would be surprised if it was possible to permit a new house that didn't include a heating system.

I don’t think you understand what Libertarian is.

I know EXACTLY what a libertarian is, and the difference between right libertarianism and left libertarianism.

Right Libertarianism is a naive and impossible system that immediately decays into oligarchism. It's also one that naive, childish morons who are extremely impressed by their own delusions of intelligence buy into wholesale.

Stop leaching off the rest of society while deluding yourself into thinking you're some rugged individual, an island unto yourself

Individual freedom at all costs.

Sounds like they are about right.

Not sure I would describe Russia as libertarian…. Haven’t seen many libertarians advocating for state controlled/heavily influenced economy and mass invasions of neighboring countries….. a libertarian paradises is at least partially alive in lots of areas of rural USA where people live more in connection with nature and their neighbors. Obviously these people benefit from gov subsidies tho involving healthcare and infrastructure and agriculture but culturally the people do live a libertarian lifestyle (from my own experience).

Any real right libertarian state decays into what Russia is.. essentially instantly. because right-libertarianism is not a workable system. it's as realistic as communism (that is to say: not at all) because they both make the same fundamentally naive assumptions about human nature

Yeah, this is a straight up lie.

Nope, you're just naive and full of yourself enough to believe otherwise
