Yes, exactly. Management is a technique and frankly managers should be treated like any other employee. However if people are saying OP would be good in the position despite OP’s known labour bias, I think it’s safe to assume OP demonstrates some skill at management.

Well we’re running it from our own well. If it’s a closed system then theoretically it should be fine. However if it circulates water all that plastic-y water will end up back in my well and I’ll end up drinking it.

Yes copper would be insanely expensive, that’s why I was wondering if there’s another option for me. My understanding with geothermal is the water is pumped underground to heat it then it comes back up again so I spend less electricity to heat it. The geothermal person told me it works best with a radiant heat set up, plus radiant heat has pipe run through the whole foundation whereas I’m not sure how these baseboard heaters work. I know electric baseboard heaters are set up as multiple units throughout a house, is that how these water baseboard heaters work too?

Yeah if it’s a closed system I’m less worried, but if it’s not all that water that’s picked up plastic ends up back in my well. That’s what I don’t want to happen.

Ok thank you. I’ll just make sure that when I inevitably flush the system I run that water through some heavy filters. I just wanted to weigh all of my options!

Thank you, will do.

CIA is happy to not do their job when it comes to right wing violence though.

Yes, very true. Not their stated job, but definitely their actual job.

I hope so too. I would love to see an alternate reality Italy where operation Gladio never happened. Socialism is such a good fit for Italian culture honestly, and Italian socialists and communists fought (and still fight) so hard against the reactionary powers within Italy. Being the seat of the Catholic Church for so long doesn’t help them at all though, and these fascists are just riding the wave of worldwide discontent with a failing neoliberal world older.

Comrade Carrey graced us with the anti-Italian fascist playbook several years ago. Never forget.

Here’s the thing, philosophically this isn’t a bad thing. Getting people with severe disabilities to feel like 1. They’re useful/productive 2. More human interaction than they works lying in bed, and 3. Some money they can spend on luxuries would all be incredibly beneficial to their recovery/quality of life. So many people who become severely disabled as adults talk about feeling “useless” or a drain on those around them. From that point of view alone, this is a good thing and they should be allowed to work if they want to.

The real issue we all see is how this will be used by capitalists to exploit people with disabilities. I always wanted to see a Black Mirror episode about a person in their 20s who’s working a horrible service job, has a terrible accident and becomes severely disabled, becomes severely depressed and loses many of their friends, finds out about this program, enrolls and benefits greatly, then advocates for it to be nation wide to increase the quality of life of other people with disabilities. Then halfway through watch the system they fought for displace other workers, become increasingly predatory, have universal Medicare stop covering their treatment as they’re now expected to work and earn money, and have them return back to a sad life of exploitation, except now they’re still horribly disabled. It would be so potent, but now that Netflix owns Black Mirror I doubt we’ll ever see that episode.
