I grew up in rural Oregon, if there was rain forecasted and the farmer was in the middle of a alfalfa or wheat harvest, they would be up in the middle of the night with a combine or bailer to get the harvest done before it gets soaked and potentially destroyed.
So, one of the problems with leaving trash in Reno is that even if you do it in a way you think is ethical, moral and correct, your trash can be part of the "Burning Man Trash Problem", things I see _every year_:
1. Burners drop trash with people offering to dispose of it for $5 a bag or so, they end up dumping it somewhere else.
2. Burners drop trash at the major hotels and casinos, who buy dumpsters to attract the burners and then people from the local area toss the dumpsters scavaging for things.
3. The normal trash dumping issues Reno has are, for two weeks a year, blamed on burners instead of the locals. I seriously doubt trash bags full of baby diapers, mail and construction debris (all examples I see on the Reno subreddit every year) are from Burning Man.
There are already legit places in Gerlach, Reno, Lakeview and Ceaderville where you can dump trash and know its going to be disposed properly, but not everyone going is really hip to spotting the trash scams and all that.
Unfortunately all this mixes with the percentage of people going to Burning Man who don't dispose of their trash respectfully and it becomes a large, hard to quantify issue.
How exactly does Boeing drive up the cost? The cost of the aircraft is less than 20% of the lifetime cost of operating an airliner and a lot of the maintenance cost is not related to the cost of parts from Boeing, since most parts that get replaced on an aircraft are not made by Boeing and airlines do not go through Boeing to buy them.
Costco has the same sourcing issues a lot of other companies have, they do spend a lot of effort on due diligence when sourcing Kirkland Signature brand products, but sometimes what they get in a production run ends up being something else, or there's unexpected issues with the products once the public gets them.
From my experiences, it does have a higher chance of better outcome, as homeless youth are usually homeless because of some family issue and not because they are unable to hold down a job as a result of drug abuse or being homeless.
Your comparing statistics for homeless adults to homeless youth.
From my experience being a homeless youth 20 years ago, LGBTQ individuals make up a large share of homeless youth, I would guess more than 50% at the time.
There may be less gay or lesbian homeless youth these days, but transgender youth may have grown.
> There can be two Skycams in major playoff games or the Super Bowl (high and low).
There can be more depending on how you block out the cables, I have seen 5. The two Skycam limit is based on two independent systems that do not do cable avoidance in software, you just block out the allowed altitudes on each system.
There also other cable suspended systems in use to move on a line strung between two points and sometimes a track suspended under the stadium roof.
Fun fact: The Skycam was invented by Steadicam inventor Garret Brown and uses some of the same principals for stabilization.
Airlines don't negotiate prices based on the exact options selected, they select a list of options and then negotiate on price from there. This particular option does not appear to have a price associated with it, it just increases the cost of training and documentation for pilots and some airlines would opt out of using it.
People talking about MCAS seem to simultaneously pound the line that everything on the aircraft the pilots encounter should be trained for and forget that adding new stuff to the flight displays will incur additional training that an airline may not want to deal with.
FedEx did and they retired them in the last 5 years because they had reached the end of their economical service lifetime and not because of any major flaw.
These stations and networks still have about 80% of their previous funding, so nothing is really going to get shut down right away.
Also, in many cases the TV and radio spectrums in markets these stations are in are not saturated to the point where new licensees are prevented from operating just because of saturation.
So this is really just some group asking for public broadcasting to be punished even more.
