Where do you learn to do these magical things?!

the best a college course ever did for me was some pivot table junk i'd already figured out for a report at work. Cert classes have vba certainly, and I imagine this, I would love to know which cert classes.

I want a reasonable coast guard.

I can't go and buy one of those at walmart.

Taxes are the easiest way to fund this. Anything else is ripping out infrastructure to go fund mercenaries, and nations who have depended on mercenary armies in the past have done poorly.

It just seems that this is in line with what you're suggesting.

Also - you are suggesting everyone sue any company that pollutes - that requires a person in , lets say ely nevada, to know that someone from a mine near elko, dumped a truck of cyanide leachate improperly near their aquifer that made them sick.

Then figure out what ompany that dumper was from

Contact a lawyer and establish legal responsibility

Then pay court costs for a suit.

This is going to increasethe workload of the already screwed up courts even further, and reduce the protection individual americans have even further.

How is that person living in ely on a disability check going to pay for the court costs? A Lawyer? The initial investigation? Things that are presently funded by taxes within the EPA?

Also - have you ever spoken to a miner about MSHA?! they do legitimately take safety seriously. The fines could be steeper, yes - but they are low enough to keep small exploration companies from going out of business.

Yeah MSHA's head is a former industry guy, but of the regulatory agencies to pick, that one is pretty free and clear of corruption.

The SEC is filled with regulatory capture and impotency and all of that, but MSHA are pretty damn good at their jobs.

I have a feeling you have never worked much around mining.

I never thought I could be this invested in a conversation about scales.

Do you have a strong reason for your preference of mettlers (I've mostly used them and have had very positive experiences with their reliability but due to an imbalance of sampling am concerned this could be a situation of exposure rather than objective difference)

Sometimes I dissociate and flashback to a traumatic experience. This obviously kills the mood. Is there a standard way to deal with the flashbacks? (Already doing PTSD treatment) Thank you.
