What's frustrating about that is we now have alternatives to 100LL, and it still hasn't been phased out.
While expensive and would likelu make a lot of people really angry - regulators should have mandated that any non-diesal or non-turbine aircraft get scrapped. I would believe those fuel alternatives would have been found much quicker and be in use much earlier.
Ahhh, so it is the guy from the Propublica article.
They didn't mention his name, but this is clearly him.
but also due to decades of leaded gasoline and leaded water pipes, we still have toxic levels of lead in the air, soil, and groundwater in many food-producing regions.
And there it is. Leaded gasoline.
Leaded pipes can be replaced, or water can be treated (iirc) to prevent it from leeching lead. Natural lead is far from uncommon, but usually is not in a form that ends up ingested.
But because they added lead to make it easier to produce engines that didn't knock, we are paying the price for it world wide and to this day.
I have two friends on Signal!
No one else believes me. Gonna be a weird future
You mean the same people who regularly shoot unarmed black people, do all kinds of shitty things to get poor people in jail, and work for an institution originally implemented to catch slaves are led by a militant racist?
Color me surprised. Almost like that was obvious a long ass time ago.
Hehehehehehe I like that one.
I was able to respond with it on an SCP post so it's got a little life already
You know I don't really know.
Pretty certain my ex would be upset. My lack of sympathy for the death of that CEO could get me in trouble with my job maybe.
If people I know didn't think of me as a loner weird guy before they would now.
Hell I haven't even posted a witty response to a comment on like a pornhub video or anything.
Im too boring to get fucked :/
A fucking whopper with just lettuce, onions on it, + chicken fries and a Dr. Pepper.
Fuck that is some goooood shit
Oh my god.
I don't know how yet, but I'm going to use this as a new template
No no see the problem is that you have money, and you need to give them that money otherwise they can't get more money
I'm not going to argue he wasn't an expert. The program is designed for them. The problem isnt people like him. In fact, the problem isn't any of the workers I've worked with either.
The problem is that outsourcing staffing agencies use the H1-B visa to hire out to bigger companies looking for a cheap fast way to get things working.
By law, the employer sponsoring an H1-B holder has to pay competitive wages for the work they will do. The staffing agencies do that by paying the people they bring in pretty low and similar wages. Of course, the agencies pocket the difference from the contract and what they are actually paying these workers. In practice, even those wages are lower than what an FTE should get paid.
It has a compounding effect on people who are permanent residents or citizens: it's an effective way to suppress wages artificially for a lot of these jobs. And of course, many of these H1-B holders get the boot right at the end of 4 or 5 years because then things get dicey about sponsoring them for permanent residence, and that is when costs start really going up.
We really don't need to expand the H1-B cap, and it is in desperate need of stricter regulation.
The reason this topic is one that "sounds" like one that "both the left and right" agree on is that it's for entirely different reasons. The right comes at it from the racist "they took r jerbs" aspect, and the left comes at it from the anti-capitalistic exploitation aspect.
You don't have to look further than who advocates for expanding the H1-B program.
Oh shit you're right. My brain just full on ignored that I guess, than you!
