As I said before, the corporate structure run by bean counters has
destroyed the engineering quality. Ahhh, the wonders of capitalism!!

In a capitalist system, isn't it about profits over people?

What in the world would make you think that???? My next question is, how
old are you? 30, 40, 50, 60, or older? I'm asking for a reason.

And how does banning the cheapest energy available help low income people
already suffering with income equality?
 
This nonsense is the backdoor antifracking movement.

So your solution is self declared a failure? You are a big help.

Nope. If implemented, my solution would not be a failure. If NOT
implemented, no other solution to the problem is going to be successful.
 
My proposed solution shows the scope of the problem, which otherwise
will be severely underestimated, causing ANY attempts to resolve the
problem to ultimately fail.

The things that exist that I would never think of.
 
The last thing I want is a blanket that weighs more.
 
As weighted blankets exist, do weightless blankets exist? Or do I just crank
up the heat so I don't need a blanket?

I thought a weighted blanket was something you wrapped your wife in
before you threw her in the lake.
