>mittee Votes to Protect Marijuana Users From Discrimination When Job Hunting

​

That would be the quickest, easiest way to deal with the hiring part but it doesn't address the problem of when there is some kind of accident at work does the employee get fired when they pee hot for weed? That and I'm not sure how this will affect jobs that have federal rules in place but you can't address all the problems all at once so at the very least this should be good for a good chunk of workers.

​

And truth be told I'm not sure that employers wont be happy about this as didn't much of this drug testing business start from insurance companies for employers?

> chapters are short and the topic jumps around a bit chapter to chapter (like a podcast). I listened to Under the Banner of Heaven on a road trip and was actually able to pay attention. It jumped around enough to feel podcast-y.

I do find the reader of an audio book makes a world of difference as to rather or not I pay attention. There are some great ones of course but I find more that have an irritating voice or I just tune them out.

And you are right about that. That a conversation about upgrading a sewer system is way easier to navigate then getting a bunch NMBY folks to agree to higher density and change. So hopefully it passes and it will have the desired effect. Its probably better then trying nothing and complaining that its still broke.

No its not their problem at all. If your thinking about a developer that has a 200 acre plot he wants to turn into a suburb then sure maybe. But we don't have many of those left. This would affect areas that are already inhabited by single family residents.

Someone that wants to turn a house into a 4 plex can't afford to upgrade the cities sewer system. If its running at capacity what does that mean? they can't build it? The City doesn't have to permit it? But that would quickly put us right back where we started. They do have to permit it?. And when it breaks we will worry about it later or pump the wast into the sound?

I'm all for the change. I'm not even opposed to a lets do it and we will figure it out as we go. But this feels a bit ham handed not considering things area by area. Again local gov is supposed to see to these details and they have had an agenda other then making housing affordable so something has to be done. But there are quite a few moving parts at play the state needs to consider.

Did we figured how all those people in the newly created super dense areas are going to poo and enjoy things like electricity and water? Or are we going to worry about that after the fact?

The warming of the earth another 1.5C-2C more or less is a point of no return for global warming. If that happens there is no fixing things in anyone's life time that is alive today. They have been talking about this for a decade or two and its not far off if nothing changes.
