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.

In fact it should be packaged into criticism of the austerity aspect of it— among a shortage of ATC jobs (despite the need for more ATCs with rapidly growing airline travel), the federal government focused on the % share (diversity) rather than the total number (more ATCs) of employed minorities.

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.

Look, I'm hardly one to defend DEI, but this is an incredibly poorly-reasoned article that bases its prescriptive argument on *incredibly* flimsy grounds. www.vox.com/politics/399...

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.

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.
For some reason, Instagram served me up this absurd advertisement from the New York State Association of Realtors lobbying against fire safety regulations. The comments are full of people ragging on them and it’s incredible

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
