What&#39;s your opinion on Second Amendment rights in America?

Four years ago, I was an apprentice. Today, I am a foreman. For a few years in between, I was just a standard-issue journeyman. That I was promoted to foreman after just a few short years could optimistically be interpreted as proof of my superior intelligence, or just as well as a sign of the increasingly scant quality human resources in the skilled trades. There weren&#39;t many options to choose from when the 30 year vet they had lined up pulled out, and they had to take whatever they could get, even if it wasn&#39;t ideal. I sure didn&#39;t feel ready to run a crew of 20, wiring a 100-unit apartment building as my first project in charge (what experience I have has largely been in concrete commercial construction; wood frame residential is an entirely different ballgame).<br/><br/>Before my recent promotion into the dismal ranks of middle management, I had ideas about how I would run things when I got here. Notions of improved professionalism, quality-of-workmanship, efficiency, and education for apprentices. Like so many of the recently promoted (or elected, I would imagine), I have now had the full weight of my naivité impressed upon me by the human-logistical constraints of the job market, and a race to the bottom for competitive bids.<br/><br/>The tradition of apprenticeship in the trades, or craftsmanship generally, is one that goes back for centuries, even millenia. Divine origins notwithstanding, someone had to teach young Jesus the art of carpentry. And long before him, uncountable generations of of elder masters have been handing down the techniques of shaping and assembling the useful materials of our world; wood, bronze, iron, all the way back to the crude stone hand axes at the dawn of proto-humanity. Education in the material arts is inherently physical, and can be accomplished only by doing; poorly at first, then a bit better, and a bit better, and so on. There is only so much armchair philosophizing one can do about smithery; sooner or later you need to go hammer on a piece of steel and see how it reacts.<br/><br/>The role of the apprentice is, and has always been, two-fold. The apprentice is:<br/><br/>1. A student.<br/>2. A source of cheap labour.<br/><br/>The two are inseparable. The cheap labour is how the apprentice pays for their education, and frees up the older, experienced master to do the more complex aspects of the job. Contrary to some journeymans&#39; opinions, it&#39;s not about &#34;earning the right to not do hard labour anymore.&#34; It is merely an economic calculus. The boy cannot yet be trusted to terminate the high voltage connections, but he can haul in the heavy cables, and perhaps faster than the older man by benefit of his youth. But if the boy is not there that day, the man will haul in the cables. No one is above the hard physical work. There are many on modern jobsites who seem to have forgotten this.<br/><br/>From my vantage point working for a particular company in a particular trade, it seems that these two aspects are very frequently out of balance. Namely, I feel that we (I speak now for my company, specifically, but it&#39;s a problem in the industry broadly) are failing to give our apprentices a proper education and leaning on them too much for their cheap labour. This ultimately leads to poorer quality journeymen in the future, who do poorer work and give the next generation of apprentices an even poorer education than they received. It is a recursive spiral of degradation, created by the delusion that competent journeymen can simply be produced by fiat, without proof-of-work. <br/><br/>This is a yet another example of enshittification brought on by high time preference. On any given day, an apprentice is more economically profitable to a company as cheap labour, with the absolute minimum amount of training being given to them to do the task at hand acceptably. An hour spent learning is an hour spent not pulling wire and installing lights. At their lower rate of pay, there is also an incentive to make the crew as &#34;bottom heavy&#34; (that is, more apprentices and less journeymen) as possible, with only the minimum number of journeymen necessary to do the really critical stuff (distribution, live work, etc).<br/><br/>What this amounts to is a few overworked journeymen doing all the complex work with little opportunity to pass on their knowledge, and an army of unruly youngsters hacking and slashing their way through the building, screwing things up as they go because they don&#39;t have the guidance and mentorship they need to consistently do it right the first time. The time spent redoing and repairing things, and how much of it could be avoided through better training, is difficult to quantify and thus gets too easily ignored.<br/><br/>There exist laws that aim to put a limit on this in regulated trades: journeyman-to-apprentice ratios. In my trade, in my jurisdiction, the limit is 2 apprentices to 1 journeyman. That is the bare minimum level of supervision allowed by law.<br/><br/>We consistently run 4:1 on my site.<br/><br/>My father tells me that when he was laying brick back in the &#39;80&#39;s, his ratio was 2:1 but inversed: 2 journeymen to 1 apprentice.<br/><br/>The free market libertarian in me is conflicted on these laws. They&#39;re well intentioned, and they probably make work more pleasant (when they&#39;re followed), but they are nonetheless an infringement on a company&#39;s freedom to run itself poorly.<br/><br/>I have informed upper management (who determine the composition of my crew) that we are in violation of the law. I will do what I can with what I have available to me for the time being. I will not go tattle to the government. But I will not take any shit about the project being behind schedule.<br/><br/>Perhaps it is time to find a new job. There will come a day when it is time to strike out on my own, but that time is not yet. Electrical work is not something you learn in 4 years and then just apply for the rest of your life. The physics never change, but the technology is constantly in flux. The most recent edition of the Canadian Electrical Code (part 1 of 3) is about 1000 pages long. Provincial and municipal regulations on top of that. Building code and fire code to contend with as well. Running a business, liasing with engineers, building clientelle... A more free and noble career awaits, but there is so much to learn, so much to learn...<br/><br/>If you need to hire a contractor (electrical or otherwise), I would implore you not to just go with the lowest bid. High prices do not automatically mean high quality, but the inverse is almost always true; low prices usually mean low quality. You simply cannot do good work for bargain-bin prices for long without going out of business. Do some due diligence on the people you hire, and try to support quality workmanship.<br/><br/>Lord knows, we could use a bit more of that these days.<br/> <br/><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/5ee99c1e8ad376f033af2400c85ed38e9cc6fec3834fa4a52b990cf1aa251418.jpg"> 2026-05-31T02:21:29Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvxly0p595940vra3x3n0mvgezpzfjv543c6szmhawk6qddqp778czyp7pyqw3nnqdkw6ernl7ln6g4n0xq6fvxpt50nl7jyzkvvmd67uakcvjuyh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8tv0w898uhpqckjmmsxlmeqzrlkaqycnst2gly85uc50pqatu36q2tudm0'>nevent1q…udm0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If a scam is being participated in by the majority of the world&#39;s population, you can use data about that scam to infer useful information about the world.<br/><br/>Because the US dollar is currently the the most widely recognized global unit of account, the bitcoin exchange rate in USD is still a reliable gauge of how much productive energy is being funneled into the bitcoin system.<br/><br/>Thus it is one (but far from the only) useful metric in determining how successful bitcoin is in it&#39;s mission to end fiat.<br/> <br/><br/> 2026-05-30T14:37:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspscmt7mhppy9hl6wv9yfswc6u4uc4uwyhqwlles68qklr5cgnhwszyp7pyqw3nnqdkw6ernl7ln6g4n0xq6fvxpt50nl7jyzkvvmd67uak3cy66u In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0p6wj0p3ckyme6hun9jmp6p3jxtdhp89pxjz3hrycej30wxkxexcfd70z8'>nevent1q…70z8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Forged nails, so cool.

Located on a rural street, half an hour from the nearest (small) town, far from the city which I now inhabit, it was the first time I had returned in over twenty years.<br/><br/>A tin can of a double-wide trailer, it&#39;s not much to look at, and I&#39;m surprised it&#39;s still standing at all. It was in questionable shape when we lived there, and it&#39;s been through much since then, I&#39;m sure.<br/><br/>From the respectful distance of the street (I&#39;m not the type to go knocking on some stranger&#39;s door for a stronger hit of nostalgia), it wasn&#39;t the house that most drew my attention, however. Two other features interested me more.<br/><br/>One, the workshop in the back yard. My father built that shop when I was a child, mostly by himself although a friend would come by and help occasionally when the strength of two men was called for. Somewhere within those walls there even exist nails clumsily pounded in by my sister and I, as we learned firsthand the skill required in even the simple act of wielding a hammer. It takes many hundreds of such clumsily pounded nails before they glide in with ease, as if on command. The designs of the mind do not flow freely through into the world; they must submit to the limitations of the body, and of the tool. To become a master of one&#39;s tools, one must first be their disciple.<br/><br/>A humble man, my father owned and ran a small business installing sheet metal gutters when I was born; simple, unglamorous work, largely devoid of craftsmanship (although one can still find opportunities for craftsmanship, however small, in any job). He soon exited that business, however, and returned to being an employee, now in local woodworking shops, building cabinets and millwork. Low quality stuff, but it paid the bills (barely).<br/><br/>The shop in the back yard was where he could work on personal projects, art pieces, and some of his greatest works: grandfather clocks (very much pieces of art in their own right). Over the years, through uncountable evenings and weekends, whenever he could find time between raising his kids and maintaining his home, he honed his craft. In recent years he has become recognized as a master in the highest echelon of his craft: those building fine works of wood in the Pacific Northwest.<br/><br/>That upward trajectory, imperceptible at first, started in that shop and compounded over decades. I don&#39;t know what that building is used for today; it could very well be a play space for kids away from the house, or merely used for storage, but there it stands, a silent testament to one man&#39;s pursuit of excellence.<br/><br/>Something else began in that shop; something that was never completed, at least not by my father.<br/><br/>Geodesic domes have long appealed to various hippies, libertarians, and science-lovers seeking to improve their land with strong, cheap structures built of simple, repeated elements. My father was somewhat of a blend of those three archetypes, and I think the mathematical elegance of the structure appealed to him. Being a clock-maker, mathematics (and in particular, geometry) was as much a tool of his trade as any saw or chisel.<br/><br/>In the early 90&#39;s he set about cutting and shaping the edges and faces for two small wooden domes that were to be constructed on our property (I say &#34;our&#34; but in reality we just leased it from the local First Nations band). Everything was made of scrap 2x4 and plywood from local construction sites, collected for free, and the pieces of the frame were designed to interlock, no fasteners needed.<br/><br/>He never ended up building those domes. All the pieces were stowed away in the crawlspace below his shop but he and my mother ended up separating before construction could begin. He left, moving to the city, and left the pieces of his project behind. My sister and I would soon follow him, and when my mother finally moved away from that place, those pieces still remained, forgotten and collecting dust over the years.<br/><br/>It must have been a curious find for the new inhabitants: piles of identical struts and triangular boards, meticulously stacked and organized, with no (as far as I&#39;m aware) explanation or instructions. For a certain type of mind, finds like this can be quite captivating, as they represent an opportunity for modern day anthropological research. Who fashioned these artifacts? What is their purpose? What do they say about the values and proclivities of those who lived on this land before us?<br/><br/>When I visited my childhood home again, it was evident that someone had found those pieces, deduced their purpose, and put them to use. The plywood faces were not used, but they had built the two frames out in the spacious yard and covered them in clear sheet plastic, creating greenhouses or perhaps just freestanding sunrooms, I couldn&#39;t tell from the distance. From across time and space, my father had given them an idea and the materials to create something beautiful and functional that allowed them to connect with nature in a different way.<br/><br/>My father&#39;s legacy encompasses more than just the physical structures outlined here, but it is a humble one nonetheless. His name is known by few, his stature in his craft appreciated only by those with the commensurate knowledge to make such fine distinctions. He has acquired no significant wealth. But he has left his mark on the world in ways big and small, visible and anonymous.<br/><br/>I hope to do the same. <br/><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/002896970a77f7ea9472cf84344c0cc5343ee210df610099a6bd3ba15b557560.jpg"> 2026-03-18T21:53:02Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsp6z52uskjmurjessuc2jqcgn8du7cxag42pek5cwd4yxnjv4qdwszyp7pyqw3nnqdkw6ernl7ln6g4n0xq6fvxpt50nl7jyzkvvmd67uakcfdldz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsguah2hs7qvd3gh2fg5d5ufev4yezg5aq67rtpv4kquran8cc5zwsrkn8hy'>nevent1q…n8hy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;d argue that 95k is still pretty cheap but yeah, these sellers doing us a solid right now; their sacrifice will not be forgotten. <br/><br/> 2026-03-15T14:55:56Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqef2ut0d2xed6unw2at8haey92snpaz0fp7u7ty2ffl4ajcpts6czyp7pyqw3nnqdkw6ernl7ln6g4n0xq6fvxpt50nl7jyzkvvmd67uakqdawk5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs23awe3j5e9anyc60038nddpkhcwdsne52mnrpga6aumcgl7kgnrsechlh5'>nevent1q…hlh5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s a complicated story but it basically comes down to efficiency; if DC were the standard, electrical power would probably cost at least 10x what it does now, and that would filter into every product that uses electricity as an input.<br/><br/>Basically, we can&#39;t afford it, and the entire electrical system would have to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up.
