Government gaming its own regulations.

  Military F250/350 all have emission deletes

    The military cares about reliability. Emissions systems on modern heavy duty civilian trucks are hell on reliability. There's a reason many people owning diesel trucks in states that don't do emissions testing pay a lot of money to delete the systems after purchase.

  My homestate [Texas] does not require federal/state agencies to follow local building codes. My new state [Tennessee] just ended government construction inspections. Pay - to - play, folks.

    That's worse than pay-to-play. I lived in a tourist-driven coastal town for a few years, builders there regularly paid off our corrupt mayor to avoid the rules. When the government is dodging its own rules its "rules for the, not for me."

      >builders there regularly paid off our corrupt mayor to avoid the rules. I stopped being an electrical sub-contractor after a local mansion builder told me to "stop worrying about the other trades[†], I have insurance for a reason." †: floor-heat guy wanted to run his 35A through my 16A circuit, "don't make this harder than it needs to be."
