Easily amused, you might say.

yeah, but now it’s even funnier to read complaints about Swift-plane memes.

At this point, I’m just so sick of every little thing being a huge struggle

Thanks for the additional info. Sorry - that article I posted was not very well researched - I should have looked for something better, but was just making a point that inequity is still a big problem in a “prosperous” Mexico.

I appreciate you also confirming that working conditions in maquiladoras are accountable to some decent standards, and that they provide additional benefits - overtime pay rates being one of them, which is encouraging to hear - I wonder if that was due to labor unions or not.

Clearly, they are better places to work than many other local options. So for sure, not everything about maquiladoras is negative - and they are certainly not the root cause of disparity in North America. Thanks again for correcting the perception I might have given with that article.

It was nice while it lasted. Moved to MX.

Presumably, we can expect 404 to eventually replace 42 as the answer to everything.

“Despite working long hours doing many times strenuous and dangerous work, maquila workers earn only 50 cents to 1 dollar per hour.”

ahem - nobody I know will use X.

but maybe it’s where we originally came from - and therefore already fully enshittified.

If it was solid stone (thickness of two brick skins) with additional insulating material behind the tacked on plasterboard then I’m surprised to hear that it didn’t stay reasonably comfortable in hot weather and would suspect other factors, such as metal roofing and/or inadequate ceiling insulation may be the reason for that.

You’re describing “brick veneer” construction - with one skin of bricks and an internal timber frame - which, as you’ve apparently experienced, is not very effective at keeping the space cool (although probably better than timber/stucco cladding). Solid masonry is usually two skins of brick with a cavity or equivalent thickness of concrete / stone block exterior walls.

Yes, temperature difference inside to out is amazing with solid masonry and ceiling insulation. No AC required.

The valuable commodity is data. Think of it like eggs. The users are the chickens. Google runs the poultry farm.

great - I’d be interested to hear if this works for you.
