The whole not using the jetway thing in Germany blows my mind. I flew Lufthansa SEA-FRA in 2019, and the fully packed 747 had to walk onto the ramp, and load up into buses to get to the terminal. Outrageous. The only time I've ever don

Personally as a utilitarian, that's a trade off I'm willing to make, as I would guess the latter is much more common than the former.

>there's no need to create a report that goes over 99.999% of the whole problem space. I agree, but the threat of lawsuits is why they have to be so exhaustive.

Ajit Pai got kicked out when the administration changed! Exactly how it should be! They're not unaccountable, the president can dismiss them. Just like Trump fired Janet Yellen, and SCOTUS already ruled the structure of CFPB where remo

You have to know the actual motivation: The point is to limit the administrative state and move power to congress (as you said), because federal rule making is relatively open, and the administration has experts. If it moves to congress, th

If it gets builders in the US to add an electrical outlet near toilets, I'll selfishly advocate for it. Then I could install a Japanese electric bidet much more easily :)
