As long as you can get out of the machine in time, you're still okay.
This man knows what’s up. It’s called building a lily pad. I’m a desperate guy when I use the site shitter. I’m with Nick find an out of the way spot in a mainline trench. The hell with safety or shoring.

I usually just crawl in the bucket or in the pan of a scraper lol.I’m with Nick find an out of the way spot in a mainline trench. The hell with safety or shoring.
Seen it done I’m not that brave usually. There’s a reason the overlot crews never have restrooms. They’re operating the 637G restrooms on wheels.

Once the concrete guys show up its time to find somewhere else to go anyway. IYKYK.
funny you say that I just put combo locks on both restrooms today. I had 2 pipe crews ready to go kick the living shit outta the curb and walk guys.
They are the worst. Maybe a tie with the sheet rockers. I usually position one toilet as far away from the main area as possible just so there’s one that is used less frequently and not destroyed immediately. Most guys are too lazy to walk any distance unless they really gotta go

HT peeps continue to impress. Sincerely.
Thought I’d throw my 2 cents in and stake a position which might add to the discussion.
When I think about macro economics today I must frame it as new stuff.
The world has never at any point in time been so connected over such a large and diverse spectrum on so many vectors.
New realities challenge or break old paradigms in most cases (imo).
The human brain loves to predict so we spin around axis of different experiences so we can feel comfortable.
My position, I love the simplicity and honesty of Friedman and hate the recent reality of Keynesian models. I’d advocate for policies that result in a balance of preservation of sovereignty, self reliance and prosperity. For me - that is balanced free trade.

I agree with this statement.
Preservation, self reliance, and prosperity. That said, global import/export economy that involve differing drastic cost of production from labor standards to minerals is far from United States preservation, self reliance, and prosperity.
In order to embrace the capitalistic ideals of Friedman on a modern global scale, the American labor force would require the equivalent of China.
I doubt U.S. employees would be excited to match Chinese employee standards.
Then there's access to the minerals dominately owned by China... Capitalist global Free Trade is far away from American preservation, self reliance, and prosperity, imo.
Sigh. You say you support free trade and then give nationalist excuses against it.
I support equitable trade. Quote me where I said I support free trade with China. You're feeding off another for mis representing my statements.
The humor... heh!
How do you, @brymoore , support a global scale of capitalism without drastically dropping American employee labor standards to reach a competitive level with China?

Just to be clear, no one has truly followed a Keynesian model, ever. Odd given his name sure comes up a lot.

You might find the below read interesting. It is a little more complicated than we make it here with wages. Case in point, remember Trump asked Apple to make iPhones in US and was told we don’t have the expertise in manufacturing to do it, even if we could accept the wage price differences.
The East-West Wage Gap Not Nearly As Compelling As It Once Was
China has all but lost its low-cost advantage.

Yeah. We should leave poor old Keynes out of this, and call it the Drunken Sailor model.

Much to agree with in your post, but you end it with an oxymoron - either the trade is free or it is bounded by tariffs and regulations trying to balance it. So, you have (in gross over simplifications) free trade, no trade or regulated trade. Not sure we have had free trade during the last 500 years. Just various forms and flavors of regulated trade, with each regulation having its own pros/cons but in the end making the aggregate of humanity poorer.
This is gold! Haha! +1 for you. Good job!
