I work in jobs that feature physical labor. Let the capitalist system pay for your fitness regime.

Get out of retail.

Be open minded to anything that isn’t retail or food service but the trades are a great thing to get in to for a few years. That skill can be carried over into public works of various kinds so then you’re actually doing something useful.

“Utility is when left side of head go brr

Economics in this country is such a fucking joke. I don’t envy the neurologist who had to try to explain this thing to such dipshits.

Which they’re doing, using a waste stream. I imagine the machinery is largely diesel at the momebt, but could be converted to electric in due time

I don’t know of many nations that would survive the unrelenting assault of a burgeoning superpower for 8 decades.

As this is relevant to my job, here’s the score:

This process has been coming for a few years now.

Some old houses had small sections of their “service line”- the pipe between the main and the internal plumbing of the house - made of lead. The amount of lead that leaches into the water depends on the chemistry (the Langelier Index) and the contact time. There is currently a requirement for regular testing to see if water that sits for 8+ hours leaches enough lead (& copper) to be dangerous if someone drinks it for 20 years.

The difficulty of replacement is that records from before the 60s are spotty and may not note the material of the line. This will require potholing in front of every house to try to determine the material.

My town was already planning this out, and was starting to get prices from contractors.
