US needs to offer education in skilled trades
The US needs to offer young people education in skilled trades
without the expense of college.
This reminds me that we need also more craft and trade workers who are
trained through apprenticeships. At least we do, around Boston. But
maybe what we need is to make it easier for customers to find them.

Diesel pollution defeat device
The "defeat device" fraud, which disguised the pollution of diesel
engines while their emissions were measured, is estimated to have
killed 16,000 people in the UK.
It may be less in the US because the US forced manufacturers to fix
the cars.

UK nationalizing train companies
The UK has started nationalizing train operating companies.
Now the new operator has to use the money it will no longer pay in dividends
to improve train service.
One of the painful effects of privatization was that your ticket was
always for a specific train run by a specific company. If all the trains
are from the same company, there is no need for that to be so.

Costs of flushing moist towelettes down toilets
Spain is considering a law to require manufacturers of moist
towelettes to pay the cost of the cleanup made necessary
when people flush them down toilets.
Those costs are substantial, which is why people are taught not to
flush anything solid except human waste and toilet paper down a
toilet. But not everyone has learned not to do this.

French hunter being prosecuted for killing bear
A French hunter shot and killed a bear that was chewing on his leg,
and is being prosecuted for killing a protected bear.
It appears that he went to hunt boar in a protected nature reserve.
Perhaps he should be tried for that — but that crime cannot deserve
death or maiming as a punishment.
Perhaps he should be sentenced to paint clearer markers around the nature
reserve, as a form of community service. That will protect the other
bears there.

Stephen Miller arrest-quotas
The persecutor has ordered the deportation thugs to arrest at least
3,000
people per day.
Quotas for arrests are automatically unjust, since they
can only be filled if the thugs arrest people who normally should
not have been arrested. |
