This to me is the scariest part. Russia will try and hack the election again. It is known that in 2016 they targeted voter state election databases and voting machine manufacturers. It doesn’t appear that they succeeded in effecting the election in this way, but what if they had? Two examples possible examples:

Sadly the current Attorney General of the United States very likely sees nothing wrong with any of this.

Exactly. Throughout his entire career he’s been very successful at hiring attorneys to exploit the system, whether it’s not paying contractors or emerging from bankruptcy. That and putting a gold veneer on garbage which some segment of the population has confused with actual success.

Who knew it would be this complicated?

Wonder what he has planned for September sweeps? War with North Korea? a Trade War with China? Ending NAFTA? Formally withdrawing from NATO? Sending Troops into Chicago?

What is the difference between supporting and lead actor/actress? For instance in Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon were both nominated for lead actress for Big Little Lies, while Shailene Woodley was nominated for supporting actress. Same with Rachel Evan Wood and Thandie Newton. If the nominations were reversed,…

Politics has become so intermingled with religion that it practically has become its own. Belief in their party is so unchanging and unwavering no matter what facts emerge. It’s not all that surprising either, if there were a Venn diagram of these pious-Republicans with religious zealots it would be a near perfect…

First he can’t get a call during free agency and now he gets overlooked in a best hair in sports competition? I’m not sure which hurts more.

His cadence is nearly identical to Luke Wilson’s “Not Sure” in Idiocracy

The 10 hottest years ever recorded are in order:

Don’t forget about the Khan family 

Thats an amazing story and I am going to use that from now on. So many building operators I work with know where the problems lie but don’t have the support of the chancellor who controls the purse strings.

I understand what you’re saying, but time is finite and nobody would chose to sit stuck in the subway. It’s probably not a 1:1 earnings/loss for subway delays, my analysis was back of the envelope, but I don’t think $1,000's lost per delaying a subway car 5 minutes is far fetched. Each delay has second and third…

Hopefully someone like me is able to get in there before anything happens and identify that there are problems. Other times like the lab ventilation example above, god knows how many people were exposed to lord knows what chemicals before the lab was red tagged. Nobody died thankfully, but who knows if anyone got sick.

I don’t fully disagree and my analysis is VERY back of the envelope. That said I think there are second and third order effects that are really hard to quantify but make a 1:1 analysis of lost productivity slightly more valid.

Say for instance there is a doctor who is late to work. He has a list of patients he has to…

It’s interesting. I don’t know about collapse but some of the things I have seen which come to mind include:
 
-buildings with serious violations of fire code. Fire alarm or sprinkler systems which may not operate properly;

-Labratory ventilation where the exhaust air is being entrained by the ventilation air;

Every college is different. In my experience it all depends on the chancellor and what their priorities are. I’ve seen really well maintained state schools and really poorly maintained ivies where there was literally raw sewage leaking onto an air handler unit. It’s not always apparent from the outside which is which.…

Maybe not linearly related, but if I’m a doctor, teacher, engineer, etc. there is work that still needs to be made up. For instance a doctor being late would cause cascading delays which would lead patient appointments to be pushed back costing each patient extra time. In the case of a teacher, someone else may need…

Everyone benefits from the subway even if they don’t use it. If there were no subways there would be more cars, more parking lots,more roads,
 less parkland, more pollution, you couldn’t build Manhattan as densely as it is built, etc. The most valuable real estate in New York City is centered around its transit hubs…

It would also make us more economically competitive. Speed is everything in this country. Every minute I am late for work stuck in traffic is a minute that I am not at my desk making money for the shareholders of my company. Multiply this by everyone else in the same traffic jam and these costs add up.

We should be…
