There’s a parallel one can draw to housing policy — sensible people at this point know that with such drastic housing shortages, *any* additional supply bottleneck is bad, as is focusing on “% subsidized” rather than “total number of homes”. The same principles apply to labor/hiring pipelines.

People trying to defend the FAA here are being patently ridiculous. Reasonable people aren’t saying this was one singular reason that we’ve had ATC shortages — not even some of the people who pushed to bring this scandal to light are saying that. Just that it happened, and it was bad.

he's saying this because I keep replying to him with hard evidence of increased failure rates, but he's so set on a predetermined narrative that he doesn't want to interrupt himself to acknowledge that he's defending the indefensible

If you're "hardly one to defend DEI," then you certainly wouldn't pick an indefensible hiring scandal as your hill to stand on. The FAA explicitly and knowingly lowered their standards in a safety-critical profession, using absurd means. That's bad. www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/the-full-s...

The context here is that the bodies that write model building codes in the U.S. have wanted sprinklers required in new single-family houses for a few decades, but have only succeeded in blanket statewide requirements in California and Maryland (+ DC). No other country on earth requires them afaik.

How do people do entire lower body lifting sessions in sweatpants. Do y’all not get hot? I can understand sticking to a T-shirt and sweatpants combo if the majority of the time is spent on upper body. But if I’m squatting/deadlifting then there’s no way that’s comfortable

I think the other benefit about this is removing upfront liquidity barriers to new housing. Even just getting to amortize the cost over a year’s lease would be good
