Host Adam Carolla and Maher spoke at length about regulations that inhibit California citizens. Both referenced the complexities of setting up their solar panels.
“I have a picture of eleven people at my house that finally showed. Eleven people. To turn on a lightbulb, basically, I had to build a shed to house the thing. I had to build its own home. Which could probably house the homeless, people could probably live in that shed,” Maher said.
He added, “All the regulations that, I mean, I don’t know if it’s Orwellian, or Kafka-esque, or both of them, but it’s just strange. Very strange. The hoops you had to jump through to do something that the state was advising you to do. Solar power was something- I thought I was being a good citizen trying to hook up.”
Carolla then chimed in with his own experience of installing solar panels. After reading all the state and county regulations Carolla decided, “fuck it,” and abandoned the project.
Progressivism isn’t about being a good citizen, it’s about jumping through all the hoops and then still giving up.
