Incorrect. Florida is currently undergoing a massive effort to identify resiliency options across the state. There are lots of efforts in the state at the city, county, and state level to address this.

A nuclear sub designer puts together a tool to ensure peace. If you want to see a world where big sticks are not around, look at any non polite society.
Tobacco is on par with weed For effects. It provides an effect. There is a reason salespeople smoke, because it calms the nerves.
Journalist of old was valuable, journalist of today is from a school of training that you need to be an activist to force change, which means they are no longer providing a good, but an active manipulation toward a belief that the journalist believes in. If you think a journalist has an iq above 80, take a look at an article in your field, then realize they are mentally deficient and are trying to promote a message. Then look at other articles and realize this same person is doing it.
1. No building nuclear, the only base load that is carbon free. 2. No building the water storage option because of the environmental impact 3. Not allowing for the scale of up of mining necessary to supply the materials for batteries
These three things are why the people who speak about solutions and know are Subject matter experts say: here is what needs to happen, but it will never happen because of environmentalists and how they have corrupted the layperson’s mind to these ideas.
We can look to Europe to see how the environmentalists will doom society.
Wind power’s limits: 1. Not a base load provider 2. Requires an energy ready base load provider 3. Is dependent on an energy source that is not providing steady inputs 4. Has larger footprints than nuclear plants 5. Blot the natural landscape
A great example was how shutting down travel at the start of Covid-19 was seen as racist. Yet, there should have been no issue as it was the only thing we can do in our global environment to slow the situation. Yet, the people in charge came up with that as racist.
1. Masks work. Nope. Only N95’s are proven. Every study prior to covid deployment showed that masks did not work. All studies comparing the issue show no impact.
2. Vaccines prevent spread. Nope. Government kind of knew this.
3. Vaccines will prevent you from getting covid-19. Nope, natural immunity is probably the only way through it for most of the populace. Sweden’s and Florida’s science based approach turned out to be correct, targeted preventions for at-risk groups.
4. Virus came from a wet market. Anyone going against this insane theory was attacked so viciously that the social media groups cowered in fear of the government. Look what is now being accepted as an option.
The government based their approach on a hope that everyone would concurrently get the therapeutic vaccine and freeze the virus to prevent transmission. The problem was the inability to think about the logistics.
Unfortunately, every time I see these posts / advertisements, they drive enough traffic that they sell out.
Nuclear included.
His thesis that the vehicles meander and no technology will fix that is refutable in that technology can identify opportunities to minimize inefficiencies. A good algorithm will create efficient routes for the flexible transit.
Finally, the author is a public transit consultant. He is not going to be good for a reference when he is on one side of an item. He may be a subject matter expert, but he is blinded to what can be accomplished. Judging from other people’s comments from other countries, my thesis is more accurate.
Strong captain dealing with ethical and moral quandaries in space. Work it around a military hierarchy and go.
The latest outing had them go back in time during season 2! And spent a significant time there. Is there any star trekking to this?
This is why the Orville took over for a lot of people.
Look at why sprawl occurred, it was not started by cars, it started with trains. The trolleys would allow for undeveloped land to be used, reducing rents that had been increased by demand. Then came the car. Instead of being dependent on the trolley to get you from place to place, you could allocate resources to get there. Economic activity boomed after that. There may be some difference on the implementation of automotive vehicles, but they are not a mistake.
2. Force projection. When someone who is stronger is trying to rape you, how can you stop them.
3. Overthrowing the yoke. If you do not think it can be done, you are NGMI. How many people in drug cartel countries are powerless because of a lack of weapons.
4. The government is providing the guns to everyone else. Fast & Furious gave guns to criminals and the California Representative or Senator who was pushing for gun control while working to smuggle in weapons. The Christchurch massacre was done by an officer of the government.
We have a mental health crisis whenever someone thinks it is a good idea to commit these acts. Every time it is about taking away guns and not looking at root causes, why did the government bury information about concerns with an individual: look at the Miami incident, the Texas Air Force base, and countless other incidents. We look the other way when people are doing things that seem bad, until they pick up a gun, then we blame the gun for the outcome, not the fact that government agencies looked the other way instead of intervention.
We wasted $xxx millions on BLM. They could have helped the justice system by taking that money and forcing every interaction with the public to be recorded through body cameras. Instead the money is being used on influence studios. How are we going to get rid of bad cops if we cannot identify or categorize them.
Licensing requirements are ridiculous, it causes wastes of time and hiking of wages to meet the ridiculousness. Someone who is in a bad neighborhood looking to go straight would need 500 hours of cosmetology school to weave hair. Why? There is no licensing requirement for aeronautic engineers!
HR departments are full of scared losers. We all know this. They are the people who were not smart enough in high school, got a non real degree, be then entered the corporate work environment. Because they do not have the capability to think, they have to rely on mimicry. That is why when a job needs to be filled, instead of doing a good job, they simply look at what everyone else posts at other firms. Then the HR departments make sure to hire someone with a degree so if things do not work out, HR can say: we did our best. This credentialing keeps good candidates out and causes cribbing to happen. Don’t have a degree, don’t apply. I have had to fight to get non degreed people promoted out of their current position with HR because the candidate was not “one of us.”
The best recommendation here is to get chummy with a credit union leader, then you can find ways to break outside of this issue.
Right now, smokers die earlier. In theory, despite the treatments for lung cancer, the earlier death means that overall it is cheaper to the “system.” A person dying under 65 means no social security payouts, etc.
Yes, Prime Minister noted that cigarette related deaths saved the country significant amounts overall.
1. Ask “who is <handle I do not like>?”
2. Conduct background
3. Reveal the handle’s real name and address.
4. Retreat to them being a public figure when people criticize your doxxing.
5. Real name person now has people threatening them.
6. Journalist gets accolades amongst the echo chamber for the expose.
7. Journalist looks for other people they do not agree with.
8. Go to 1
If I am an operating force forced to deal with MBA’ers and politicians. I am requesting the NLAW.
If it is transit related, then it is a waste of time.
If it is auto and truck related, then it is not a waste of time.
Transit projects get a lot more “help” to make them viable because the lawsuit folks think that they are more green and for the greater good.
Auto projects (roadways and highways) go through much more scrutiny and evaluation than transit, so you better be sure to have your i’s dotted on these.
Which means there is much more analysis to justify a need for the roadway. Transit items are given as much lee way as possible to make it work.
When set the system up at home, it worked just like in the store.
Then five days later, an OS update forced ads onto the front page. The entire home page was changed from what I had purchased.
Fortunately, I could reset the device back to the previous OS version and not let it anywhere near a wi fi.
What I purchased and what I was having in my possession became antithetical to what I wanted with a software update.
Elon would do a great job firing the staff and right sizing the company.
There was a chap who was involved in their AI department. Despite the initial question of why is there an AI department, the follow up is why is it doing so badly?
Look at: The mask paper that was talked about but was never published because the results were inconvenient. Anytime statistics blow up a narrative.
The Swedes actually followed the science by listening to all the recommendations prior to the pandemic. The best example of this is the WHO or the CDC prior to the outbreak having published and peer reviewed papers that said lockdowns do not work.
Now the next comparison to do is that the approaches of all the other countries followed lockdown. Sweden did not. They then proceeded to have no significant death differences between countries. Seeing that, there will be significant mental differences and knock on effects from the different reactions.
Ultimately, the Swedes got it right by not panicking, followed the non politicized science, and keeping calm and carrying on.
With that, please provide with a serious set of facts, that we can model impacts that can be implemented to change the system. Please bear in mind that I just watched a model tell us to lock down a system. People said that the model had issues, they were pilloried for questioning it. The model turned out to be politically motivated and has been shown to be adjusted to justify a lockdown. Now, with a serious set of facts tell me that the people who are doing the models are not politically susceptible. Now, with a serious face tell me that the climate change modeling community does not have a positive feedback loop to encourage dire warnings, please include that we just watched the sciences go along with bad ideas to make sure they kept their NIH funding. Finally, please include Michael Mann’s active avoidance of sharing data because his hockey stick model failed in its data.
My metric for finding out if people understand reality is to ask the following: Is nuclear power on the table as a base load provider?
If the answer is “no” then the person is not versed in what we need and is a signal to smile and get away from them.
In our market we have supply and demand. Currently, there is demand chasing a shrinking supply. We wrecked the status quo by freezing the economy and the jobs held in place. With the stimulus checks, wages were forced up to overcome the challenge of people sitting at home or coming into work. Costs thus increased. Most of the suppliers have held back on price increases because they a. Do not want to hurt the consumer, b. Do not want to have the government thinking they are price gouging (which if you want to be new to market and provide a product similar to everyone else but at a much higher price to cover your entry costs, good luck with the opportunistic folks in congress looking to pin this on the corporations).
The small businesses are not nimble enough to make paper towels because of capital investments not being there, the big players having a monopoly on store shelf space, and government agencies ready to swoop in and bury you in legal morass.
Now we see the companies realizing they are all in this together, similar to when all the airlines simultaneously declared bankruptcy. I am not saying they are collusion to increase prices, I am saying they are inadvertently appearing to collude based on how they feel out the other corporations going.
Smart play, as it feels organic until you pull back the veneer.
After Obama was elected, a few people noted that the search still worked and a few days later, it no longer returned President Obama or anything like what it did before.
This was all the example one needs to know that your search engine results are heavily manipulated.
