I would t consider using more technologically advanced and appropriate materials to be a “problem” I live on a fault line in wildfire country, I have zero interest in living in a stone or concrete house that will fall down and kill everyone, I want a quake rated home, which must be wood, and as far as wildfire, gypsum dryway is fire resistant and part of our fire code.
No one uses styrofoam but high tech high efficiency foam insulation does exist and works far better than stone, brick or concrete while also maintaining breathability

That’s another reason drywall is used, it’s pretty fire resistant. Where I live all exposed beams must be wrapped in drywall for fire safety

He’s right to feel uncomfortable because it’s inappropriate. My kids are 19 and 21 and while I am hopeful/happy for them to have intimate adult relationships they find fulfilling I don’t have any interest in those relationships happening under my roof with what is essentially a stranger. My son has been in a relationship with a nice young woman for about a year and a half and while I would have no issue with them sharing a room I wouldn’t want my 19 year old sharing her room with a freshly found boyfriend or vice versa, it is intimate and I care about the quality of my kids relationships and if they’re dating someone who doesn’t respect that I don’t want causal sex going on in my house I don’t know how quality this person they’re dating even is… for me, as the parent in this situation is that this feels way too much like casual sex which I feel isn’t in most people’s best interests. Hook up else where and figure it out six months down the road

I think being so fucking desperate to be distracted is actually our primary problem as a country. Stop avoiding reality, it’s time to grow up

I helped start a subreddit that was like “thatweirdbathroomdream” or something, I don’t remember it was easily a decade ago explicitly for people to talk about their weird bathrooms! Apparently it’s a typically American dream (so is losing your teeth but cutting your hair/hair falling out is more universal) and typically includes unusual open spaces, lack of privacy, unusual lighting, they typically also are clean like this or filthy, or at least the toilet you interact with could be filthy. I find collective cultural dreams to be SO fascinating

I’m confused why you would lose your license for being hit by someone else, that only happens if you are the one who caused the accident and were negligent enough that it was an unreasonable accident.
That said I do believe driving is a basic skill, in an emergency knowing how to drive can be critical, it can be life or death and not being able to transport yourself or others can have very serious consequences. Independence is another issue, you want to rely on other people to do nearly anything for the rest of your life? Unless you live in a large city with good public transportation giving up the ability to drive will absolutely cripple your personal development in the long term, you remain a child reliant on those around you and it’s really not cute once you’re 40 and still begging to hitch rides.
I don’t think think you need to be driving all the time but you absolutely should know how and be familiar incase you ever do need to respond to an emergency or you end up in an abusive situation. Choosing to remain dependent serves no one. Find a better driving school, ask your boyfriend to practice with you, drive in big empty parking lots or low speed roads, you’re literally in control of the car wether you feel like it or not and building confidence and getting some experience will help your feelings match reality

I think not going into that a little bit, like “education will be a key component to this industry’s survival and success” is a missed opportunity because that is also the reality. Reality includes causes, this didn’t happen in a vacuum.
As for solutions, beyond advocating for education and endorsing unions or something else equally broad, no he’s definitely not obligated to go into that
- Comment on I Tried To Make Something In America (The Smarter Scrubber Experiment) - Smarter Every Day 308 1 month ago:
You could offer more money, better benefits, better/shorter hours, vacation time etc. I’ve heard young people are really motivated by all of those things
This feels like “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas”

That makes me so happy to hear! I kept thinking that during this video, that he’s putting the cart before the horse. Made in America is important sure but the cost is significantly more which is problematic when you’re an working class person who literally doesn’t have the cash to buy American made, we need to be sending our young people back to trades not say everyone needs college! I’m a 2004 Graduate and so many people in my class went into so much debt and for what? A barely above minimum wage desk job? I was a pariah for not going to college but going to a tech school.
If we don’t have young people in these trades, making fair wages, we have no middle class and if we have no middle class he’s going to run out of $75 scrub brush buyers sooner rather than later.
The video got really close to being a dog whistle to me a few times he did mention he wanted to talk about unions, then didn’t, I just felt like there was so much focus on “manufacturing is actually good for the US” - and it is, I’m a leftie but I agree we do want some manufacturing jobs, especially the high skilled ones, but almost no focus on how we keep these industries alive, and grow them, and how important it is that young people can access this training and why it’s important to bring education into the conversations about “made in America” - high skill manufacturing isn’t going to sprout up over night, it’s why he struggled so hard to source parts, and the video very much framed this industry as something that is an organic industry that will just be there if we buy it… which feels dishonest if we look at the bigger picture and all the lack of both knowledge and experience that will really make this industry struggle
