If the whole update can be a headline it should be. The entire rest of that article is filler.

Just to prove the point, I asked ChatGPT to summarize the headline in three ways and got:

Seven dead in Pennsylvania chocolate factory explosion

Seven fatalities confirmed in Pennsylvania chocolate factory explosion

West Reading community mourns loss of seven lives in chocolate factory explosion

​

Someone paid to do it should be able to come up with a better headline. I also, after some persuasion, got it to provide click-bait versions...

"You won't believe what caused the deadly explosion at this chocolate factory!"

"Exclusive: Eyewitness reveals shocking details about the chocolate factory blast in Pennsylvania"

"Is the chocolate industry hiding something? Tragic explosion at factory raises questions"

Anybody have a good reason for that ‘height max is 350” of floor area’? (also… units?)

Best I can assume is some assumption about blocking out the light of neighboring units…. But we have electricity now. Alternatively, you could just tax a building over that amount and distribute it to the neighbors on the east, north and west of the building.

I guess my point was that, much like driving to work, people take risks people take risks when working. The biggest risk, by far, that people take is driving to work in the first place.

The remainder of the risks are minuscule in comparison. A defensive driving course would make everyone safer than OSHA 10.

Four times. Two suicides by train, one roll away and crush, one because a scissor lift failed.

Excluding the two suicides, neither was ‘because they wanted to get it done’.

You missed the part where I said the goal is to mitigate risk. That does not mean safety is the first priority. The safest job is always the one that doesn’t happen.

Yeah, we should stop pretending safety is our top priority. Safety is important, and people try to reduce risk, but in practice it almost always takes second place to doing what needs to be done.

Millions of people in the US drive to work everyday. ~100 of them die in vehicle accidents every day. Meanwhile ~5 people die a day at US workplaces (excluding vehicle accidents above and violence).

I’m not sure why you are on about taxes. Money launderers usually pay taxes on the money.

What I mean is that when you go to deposit money/coins in an exchange, they are going to likely end up filling out the same forms and doing the same reporting as if you walked up to a bank with $30k in cash.

Cash and gold are also a ‘global peer to peer network with multiple points of entry’, and the government forces companies to gate keep their entries.
