“A lot of students who want to do engineering, they want to do robots,” said chair of UW’s civil engineering department, Bart Nijssen. “Nothing against that, but that is the image they have of civil engineering at times, that it’s not really thought of as something, let’s call it, sexy.”
But like producing movies (good or bad), civil engineering often shows us at our best in terms of total cooperation.
No civil engineers, no civilization.

$10 Trillion in Added US Debt Since 2001 Shows 'Bush and Trump Tax Cuts Broke Our Modern Tax Structure'
https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-bush-tax-cuts-fuel-growing-deficits
How far before we break? This mindless 40 year mantra of blindly cutting taxes from the #GOP to get themselves elected produced our first post WWII debt which has been growing ever since. Zero successful attempts to change course cause having all that money for some is so nice. I see a bad end to this. 🔥🤔
Well..it's that time again where I think too much and get ready for bed...good night Fedirverse...there are times when getting old is a struggle...but it's better than the alternative...good night!

@AlliFlowers Happy belated BDay! 🥳 I’ve asked my wife, not to mention mine. 😳🙃

Tonight, Snooty ate a BUNCH of worms. I can see I’ll be making frequent trips to the store for him.

@AlliFlowers With online posts I feel like I can say how I feel about Israel without hurting feelings, but I want to be fair. And as I said today earlier, I support both Israel’s and Palestinian’s rights to happily live side by side and not kill each other. And for decades I’ve watched Israel overplaying their security card making life miserable for Palestinians. I condemn Hamas for starting it, but it was not in a vacuum. Lots more to say, maybe on the mutual forum? 🙂
