Ghosn was trained as an engineer at École des Mines de Paris after a humble background in the 3rd world including continual sickness from unsanitary waterwater. He worked from the bottom up in R&D at Michelin and did the impossible tur

If you follow IRC ( code book )building a home can be entirely prescriptive with 0 engineering. This is what I did since I'm not a structural engineer and I didn't have money for engineered plans nor an architect.

That's not how one off man and a truck builds normally work. Its usually only viable as a business when doing owner/builder on your own dime then flipping it and repeat. Clients don't want to wait years for one man, nor wil

Yes. Although there are a few urban areas without inspection. You could build in a burrow near a city in Alaska without even a permit, normally. When they finally outlaw me from building in the west maybe that will be my next stop...

In AZ you can get a lot of trades licenses like finish carpenter with just a test. You can also owner/build and self certify then later flip the house which bypasses licensing and sometimes even codes.

Not always required. I recently built a house, I did not get anything but septic inspected.

More and more the majority has discovered they can vote themselves into someone else's pocket. City dwellers can also horde water aquifers, and since they don't have the firsthand experience of drilling a $30,000 well they'r

The other hazard trades can be dangerous starting out until you work safely even on automatic when sleepless and zoning out. Learning rough carpentry cost me a broken leg, which healed slowly in my 30s and much worse in your 50s. Larry Hau

Can be tough if parenting is shared. You'll probably have to see a judge and if the other parent won't agree they'll just award them custody and now there is a warrant for your arrest because you missed payments while hitchh

Before you try trucking, rent a 12 foot trailer or a 26 foot penske diesel box truck, then drive it around the tightest urban commercial roads you find and maybe try a poorly designed lumber yard while you're there. Maybe try some mou

The articles of my coop require someone extending a line to pay the full unsubsidized costs before installation. If I underpaid the coop defrauded the other members by charging them instead.

The issue is the 10th amendment limits the scope of the federal government and Congress. Spending on many of the institutions that unconstitutionally regulate stuff like intrastate trade was illegal to begin with so defunding makes it more

I have some empathy, mostly because it may be challenging for them to retrain and they have been institutionalized. I hope they are given some runway or options to prepare for the private sector. But viscerally it is deeply, exquisitely s

General strikes are illegal. If illegal stuff is on the table then there's way more than that, although i don't advocate it.

The money you paid for social security was lost pretty much the moment you paid it. There is little left to lose, it's a redistribution scheme rather than a savings scheme.

That's what worries me the most despite generally agreeing with the goals of DOGE. The Supreme court has only a few armed police, basically no teeth. There is nothing really holding the executive to listen to them, and the legislators

A career fed guy in his 50s being forced to beg for his job in a 15 minute teleconference to an arrogant zoomer in shorts and an unbuttoned suit is peak representation of democracy.

Yes we have no public roads either for miles. Privately maintained easements instead. I built mine first with just an axe and shovels, later with a backhoe. Sewer is private septic. Water we had to dig a private well. The electric coop i
