I’ve been inactive here for a while. Just been in shell shock I guess. Our biggest economic problem has been the cost of housing. How are these tariffs helping that?! Here is a good article from MIT about what we need.

The surprising barrier that keeps us from building the housing we need
Sure, there's too much red tape, but there is another reason building anything is so expensive: the construction industry's "awful" productivity.

My colleagues are contacted regularly by recruiters. I never am. Why? Because I‘m over 50 (ageism is rampant in Europe). DEI doesn’t mean I would automatically be hired because of my age. It just means employers would know I exist and find out how qualified I am.
