    USDOT repeals ECP brake rule - Railway Age

    WWW.RAILWAYAGE.COM
    The U.S. Department of Transportation on Dec. 4 repealed a 2015 Federal Railroad Administration rulemaking requiring freight railroads to...

     

     

    "Comments Railway Age contributor and railroad economist Jim Blaze: “Regardless of what the rail freight folks do, better braking will show up on trucks. And if the rail economics changed one or two assumptions, the break-even numbers would have turned out better. Sadly, just one future incident in a very highly populated area would make this decision look very bad. But someone likely calculated such odds as very remote. Now they can keep their fingers crossed and hope the actuary assumptions were not wrong."

     

    Cannot imagine why an Obama era safety provision would have gotten repealed in 2017.

     

    Anyone?

    Railroad companies in the United States cannot be trusted.

     

    There is a railway overpass about 5 minutes from my house that is constantly getting hit by tractor trailers.

     

    Everytime, you'll then immediately see about a week of posts to Facebook, that neighborhood app, and newspaper editorials that the town should just RAISE the overpass.

     

    Then a bunch of sane people will try to explain that LEGALLY the town can't do anything because the railroad owns the overpass.

     

    Rinse and repeat every time it happens 🙄

    California suggested that water be completely cut off from Las Vegas and Phoenix in recent Colorado River water negotiations

    The desert is a great place to build a city as long as you can recycle the water.  That's what Las Vegas does.  All of the water used indoors is ultimately cleaned up and returned to Lake Mead.  The only water that is lost/wasted is the stuff that is used for irrigation.  If every city that currently gets their water from the Colorado River basin employed the same strategy as the Las Vegas valley, the water issue wouldn't be nearly as bad.

     

    But as you mention, the biggest problem is wasteful agricultural practices.  That has to change - and the two biggest offenders are California and Arizona.  

     

    Yeah, as you said, most don't use enough/proper water mitigation processes such as recycling. 

     

    Probably should have said INEFFICIENT/IMPROPER building in deserts.  But the people who live there are also at fault for clinging to lawns, encouraging sprawl, etc.

    I think the bigger issue/solution is switching California's agriculture products to less water intensive ones.

     

    Addressing infrastructure to properly capture and retain the floodwaters that alternate with the droughts also seems like something that should happen.

     

    Edit- but we definitely shouldn't be building/living in deserts either.

    Nice!  I'd be upgrading from electric so hopefully my current electrical will suffice.

     

    Edit- just checked and the best selling induction cooktop at Lowe's is only $1,049 from Frigidaire (with the same number of burners I currently have) 🤔

    Eric Adams bucks Hochul's planned gas stove ban, says electric ‘just doesn’t cook’

    NYPOST.COM
    Hochul’s plan would outlaw all gas stoves, hot water heaters and oil furnaces in new residential and commercial construction by the end of the decade.

     

     

    Then how have I been cooking in my kitchen all these years Eric?  Huh? Answer me that!!!

     

    I could also see myself picking up an electric tankless water heater and an induction cooktop down the line as well.  With any luck, some tax incentives will materialize!

    The full book- 

     

    https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23583878/proudboyssignup.pdf

     

    Highlights:

     

    1st Degree- publicly declare "I am a Western chauvinist who refuses to apologize for creating the modern word"

     

    2nd Degree- naming 5 breakfast cereals while being beaten confirmed and only masturbating once a month unless within 3 feet of a female non-prostitute

     

    3rd Degree- proud Boys tattoo

     

    4th Degree- engaging in a major conflict for the cause

     

    *Singing an awful song once a day, preferably in public with a jukebox backing you, is also recommended*

     

     

    UHURU!!!  PROUD OF YOUR BOY!!!!

     

     

    Edit- just realized their theme song comes from the stage production of Aladdin and UHURU is a Swahili word and the name of  The Uhuru Movement which is an American-based socialist and African internationalist movement founded in 1972 and led by the African People's Socialist Party (APSP) whose chairman is Omali Yeshitela 😂
