Consumers Reports made another one of those a market impossibility if Federal regulations didn’t make it a technical one.

There’s the UAW, the teamsters, and then UFCW Union. The United Food and Commercial Workers Union.... now they are the racket I am familiar with. Last time they popped up on my news radar screen they were paying people minimum wage to protest walmart for paying too little.

Then there are the government employee unions…

Concrete wall builders vs insulation and glass people. Let the lobbying battle begin!

“Every one of them has said that vegetation has a minimal impact on dissipating sound”

“The barriers are largely made of concrete, and cost over $2 million per mile, with some $6 billion spent on them through 2013"

And thus mismanagement could easily be the cause of the blip in recent years.

I didn’t mention a damn thing about a “few hot years”. The 1930s had ideal conditions for fires. Adjusting the 1930s downward does not change that reality. They were hot and dry years and hence a lot of fire.

As to the rest in other words you have no understanding of the distribution or quality of data but take the…

It’s a possibility and consideration as indicated. There’s also refinancing, car title loans, and more. Let’s say the Kia was bought relatively recently as a used car for $5K with roll overs of negative equity from prior bad financial decisions. There ya go.

The 1930s were extremely hot and dry. Although much of that heat has been adjusted away by climate scientists who find it inconvenient.

There aren’t greater weather extremes either. Today is nothing like the late 19th century and early 20th. There has been a slight rise off a very calm era and we are still in a rather calm era. For instance, US forest fires:

“Flight attendants are literally there to provide service to customers. How does that lady justify saying it’s not a service industry?”

“Is there a monster only you can see out on the wing of the plane, messing with the engine?”

What I don’t see being considered in this thread branch is that she was underwater on the car she traded for this one. People run down their cars that they buy on 5-8 year loans then want something new in three-four years or so, maybe less, and end up rolling negative equity into the loan for the next one. After a…

Please read late 19th century and early 20th century publications. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this thing. It’s taking away the filth that horses created. It’s design is essentially that of the horse drawn buses with the front end of a automobile. It was part of a significant advancement in technology and…

I did. Before the first reply. As I stated previously someone got government to declare the “artwork” significant and thus used government to override the property owners. Unsolicited “artwork” on your building becoming a wedge for government to take control over what you may do with it is simply absurd. Double absurd…

Not at all. Read TFA. It includes a precedent where a developer had pay for destroying “artwork” on his own building. That is what I was primarily responding to. All but a single sentence at the end.

For a painting on canvas hung on wall sure. That’s not the case here. He didn’t create nor own the building. It’s akin to writing an article for an employer. You don’t own it, the publisher does. The idea that a building owner is forever encumbered by a copyright of a hired painter or one who simply chooses to paint…

If you scribble on the property of someone else you don’t have any right to those scribbles especially if you were paid by the property owner to make them and didn’t have a contract specifically retaining copyright. If you hire someone to do a custom paint job on your car and 6 years later you tire of it and get a…

Actually it’s a few states now. And it still wouldn’t pass federal.
