Once we solve housing, education, transportation, and public safety, I'm becoming a single-issue "DC should have mosquito control" voter.

It's mostly NOAA for sure, but there was also the Great Lakes Pilotage Act of 1960 and some other related safety legislation. (Which of course eventually turned into a mechanism for legal monopolies and regulatory capture, but so it goes...)

I'm simultaneously glad to see this being covered and facepalming at the Post using a picture of soybeans getting harvested for a story about farm labor. Soy/corn row cropping is the least labor-intensive form of ag in the US. Next time find a stock photo of migrant laborers picking produce by hand.

There are a lot of things that would function better than the status quo. I'm just thinking about all the awful things I've written that start out "case when state = 'MD'" to deal with multimember districts there.

You're thinking of labor-intensive crops like fresh produce. Grain farming takes very little labor, to the point where most farmers have other jobs throughout the year.

The thread I'm replying to is re: the building trades jobs being temporary. Besides, data centers are industrial facilities, and it's not uncommon for there to be a lot more labor involved in building industrial stuff than running it. Think of a chemical plant or water treatment facility.

You can listen to them talking to ATC here (last one on the list). They seem to be fans of turning off ADS-B so that the public can't track excursions into airspace they weren't cleared into. www.liveatc.net/search/?icao...
