Making student loan debt dischargeable in bankruptcy would solve almost every problem. Costs would decease. Universities wouldn’t have the profit margins to fund DEI deans. That Trump and the GOP won’t do this reveals a lot.
Bring back brick houses. No more cheap plywood houses that fall apart right after purchase. Bring back solid, beautiful brick.
The Romans built the Pantheon out of concrete in 126 A.D. and it still looks like new. Modern concrete is inferior.
Classic example of the ticking time bomb that is concrete and steel rebar.
The Hospital de Sant Pau in Barcelona (1930) wasn’t designed to look beautiful. It was designed because beauty heals.

Architecture is healing
Great call by Scots College Sydney replacing its modernist monster of a library with a building in Scottish baronial style. Increasingly around the world, people are defying the modern architecture lobby with traditional designs that most people prefer. instagram.com/reel/DHpD8VFhv…
It is TWICE as expensive to install a megawatt of nuclear reactor on US soil than it is to put a megawatt of nuclear power into a US Aircraft Carrier. Why? The US Navy doesn't have to go through the NRC.
