These people are the product of "no child left behind" policies, incorrectly implemented. Instead of making the effort to teach them, they just pass them through to be someone else's problem.

My generation bears a lot of blame. No accountability raising kids. Not all of us but enough. The internet, as much as I love it, changed the world in some negative ways too. There's a long list of people and things to blame, I reckon. Which doesn't change anything! But I'm still gonna bitch. 😂

Your post resonates with me.

I have no idea which generation you are talking about, but it could apply to quite a few of them.

The internet is a pile of stinky fish. We might have been better off overall with newspapers, magazines, corded phones and a dial on the tv set. I look back fondly on the pre-internet days.. (he says while wasting time on the internet).

edit.. although, I think it might be "smart" phones that did us in.

CHAINSAWS CAN FIX MANY THINGS ..

I had four 40 ft locust trees near my driveway entrance that cause me much concern as in the winter they cast a long shadow that kept me from putting panels in a great spot in the pasture…I really wasn’t sure whose property they were on …..it was within a ft or two of mine verses the neighbor who lives another place..

After the storm one had fell across the neighbors driveway… one fell on my pasture..
Two of them were sorta split…when his tree guys showed up I said to them , go ahead and whack the fallen ones and I’ll give ya a box of 100 9mm rounds if you will whack the other two..and make em disappear…

They did and moved the logs with the excavator and I gave them a nice big box of Winchester FMJ…

Now I can rethink my panel placement … chainsaws are wonderful inventions…

Jim.

You've already moved to the bullet economy where you are? Have things come to this so soon? 🤣

Yeah…. … bullets will always be a first tier product… have been here in the states for a 150 years or more… like chainsaws, they can solve a lot of of problems quickly… not much can replace em when needed..

... and a pallet of CHEAP panels came in around $9800. I thought that was allot, even with the really cheap 8k worth of panels. ($.10 per watt).

I am hoping so. It would be painful to see some of this equipment go for less than what I paid for lunch today.

So we wound up getting 527 panels - 50% of them 365-400W .. and the other 50% were 400 and above ...

60 percent of the panels that we got were Brand New in the wrappers .... and the other 40% were used - but honestly - 90% were in Pristine condition...

The used panels all came with their own micro-inverters (which we don't use) and all the connectors and EATON breakers and safety switches ... (which we use the heck out of)...

heck several of the pallets we got for...

America has it better than many might imagine. In Thailand, it is illegal to be registered at more than one educational institution simultaneously, and it is simply not possible to accelerate, such as by completing the first two grades in one year (as I did). I've not heard of such things here as CLEP tests or honorary degrees. One must bide one's time in the system to get every advantage. It's all part of the culture of respect toward one's elders--those of higher status, and teachers, of course, rank highly (despite low pay).

And "grid tie," the subject of this thread, is next to impossible to do here legally. Very rarely the government will open a window for applications--but it's been years, I think, since this happened except for large solar farm construction. Unless, of course, you have the wherewithal to grease the right palms...maybe then you might succeed. Of course, one can always go the "on the sly" route...but if the meter reader catches it, well, ....

What reason there could be to declare offgrid systems illegal?
