   this is interesting - and is a definitive improvement in walsh.
   
   Yes, it's true that wouldn't stop it. Perhaps after the 3rd straight on mountain crash they might accept a little less DIE.
   
   But making a fomulation of the kind of standard conservative "they're crazy! they're going to kill people, it's gonna get bad!" then saying "yeah it's actually just going to get worse" seems like understanding that conservatism has failed.

     @sickburnbro The wheels will come off quick when they can't bring back the guys who just know how to make things work outside of their scope because they let them work at one place for 40+ years.

     @CenturianFrend I mean that's what you are seeing with the Boeing issue pretty much. They probably had some old crusty boomers in places where they could DEI up to the gills, but no shit was getting past them, but the old guy finally died and now every stupid idea is hitting at the same time

     @CenturianFrend and that's literally what is going to happen - a ton of these boomers had a almost suicidal work ethic which lead to them showing no interest in training replacements, because they couldn't see themselves retiring or dying

     @CenturianFrend the boomer linemen at least seemed to be ok with retiring. I guess the 3am calls really just aren't worth the pay in the end

     @sickburnbro Just wait until the vax gets the last of the electrical grid boomers.

     @CenturianFrend a lot of them blow through their money like they're still 18 and its 1968, extremely annoying.
     
     Look, I know you flipped you car and had to walk 7 miles to the nearest gas pump, you don't have to model your life around that.
