Sorry it’s late. I had a too early meeting with East Coast people and then went for a walk instead of doing this. Now I’m having a too late lunch.
– At the start of the year I didn’t know anything about elevator reform. Now I’m sad it didn’t pass. Next year.
– Make recycling better in Washington.
– It turns out that cutting Medicaid has negative outcomes.
– Hell yeah Bike Works
Single-stair buildings and smaller elevators looks like trading safety for affordability to me. I don’t think a single stairway is wise for any building with more than a few living units.
Elevators are the last thing you want to use as an escape route in a building on fire. Think of elevator shafts as chimneys, because that’s what they are.
If high-rise building elevators can’t accommodate stretchers, how do you get someone having a heart attack or other major medical emergency out of the upper floors?
I’m not sure adopting third-world building standards is the way to go. The only apparent argument in favor is that it’s cheaper. You can make the same argument for thatched roofs and cardboard walls.
A stupid freshman GOP senator just gave Democrats permission to call Republicans Nazis, because what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander, too.

Tariffs bring jobs back to the domestic economy by erasing imported goods’ cost advantage. They do not make goods cheaper.
The competitive advantage for domestically produced goods created by tariffs can motivate companies to increase domestic employment up to their existing onshore production capacity.
But they won’t invest in physical expansion unless they believe the tariffs will be permanent. Thus, factory capacity sized for a non-tariff environment is a limiting factor for reshoring jobs.
Trump is already signaling the tariffs are negotiable, and thus potentially non-permanent. No well-managed companies are going to invest in domestic factory expansion without government subsidies of the sort seen in Biden’s CHIPS Act.
If you were wondering, 36 hours is how long it takes for die hard free market conservatives to hop on the Daddy Trump protectionist cock and start bouncing.
Well they are admiring Nazis in committee hearings.
In a new federal court order today out of Maryland, Fat Hitler has until midnight Monday to send an airplane to El Salvador and bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States.

Abrego Garcia has no tattoos, is not and and has never been a member of any criminal gang, isn’t involved in any terrorist groups, and has never committed any crimes, which facts have all eventually been admitted to by the DOJ in court in recent days.
They will miss this deadline.
At which point I would argue the Secretary of Homeland Security should be held in contempt and ordered to surrender for confinement at FCI Cumberland until such time as the lawful court order is complied with.
And if the DOJ refuses to present the Secretary for confinement then the Attorney General should be held in contempt and ordered to surrender to FCI Cumberland as well.
People die in El Salvador’s CECOT facility all the time under exceptionally murky circumstances. An innocent man’s life hangs in the balance. That justifies the court exercising extraordinary measures to obtain compliance with its order.

Well, then Apple either continues to manufacture overseas and pays the tariff, reducing profits, or it ceases to produce, reducing profits.
Apple is committing to invest $500B in American production and development. It’s not doing it for the subsidies. It’s doing it to avoid the tariffs.
Or perhaps Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit does not think that Apple Computer is a well-managed company.
The last possibility is that Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit is simply full of shit, per usual.
@7
Apple is building an AI datafarm and research center. They aren’t gearing up to make iPhones here no matter hoe many consecutive days you make that claim
Does a federal court have habeas jurisdiction over someone the United States has removed without process to a “foreign sovereign”?
The existing standard articulated by CJ Roberts in June 2008 was that “(t)he habeas statute, 28 U. S. C. §2241(c)(1), applies to persons held ‘in custody under or by color of the authority of the United States.’ The disjunctive “or” in §2241(c)(1) makes clear that actual Government custody suffices for jurisdiction, even if that custody could be viewed as “under … color of” another authority, such as the MNF–I.”
If the Slavadoran government is holding a petitioner on behalf of, at the behest of, or “under …color of” the U.S. government then the court has habeas jurisdiction.
Look for a 7-2 split with the usual suspects in dissent.
Until then also look for mewling cult members like the Nazi Fucktard to adopt whatever idiocy he is programmed to adopt from the face holes of administration spokesmodels.
