Hyatt Regency Hotel Skywalk Collapse Documentary,
Regarding the Hyatt Regency Hotel Skywalk Collapse Documentary-This is my cup of tea, being a welder fabricator for over 20 years. I am simply amazed at the actions of New Haven Steel for sliding that change on the hanger rods through the channel box beams.You have to have GOOD, RELIABLE, EDUCATED Subs who pay attention to detail. Phase construction is an ugly ugly convoluted mess. There are Thousands of changes on a project such as this. If every single change was scrutinized and gone over with a fine tooth comb they would still be building the hotel. Ask any college educated project manager. In my opinion New Haven Steel should have shared blame on this horrific fail..
I didn’t mean that in a bad way either. I was just surprised because Homophobia is bad enough today, I can’t imagine in 1981.. It was so sad seeing that man cry over his boyfriend of 5 years.
I hope he found some sort of peace eventually.
The word Recession is mentioned a few seconds in and already you’re jumpng all over each other in this terrible pissing contest, show the victims and heroes of this tragedy more respect than your chest-puffing argument. This is not the place for it.
I have a BS in Econ from Carnegie Mellon and studied under a Nobel Price winning economist (who is EXPONENTIALLY smarter than Krugman IMHO) Finn Kydland and sirscrotum….you just don’t have any facts….well, let me rephrase that. You don’t have any accurate facts! As H1TMAN said, look at FHLMC, FNMA and most importanty look at Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and see if THEY played any role in the collapse. Then youtube the nearly THIRTY speeches Bush gave BEGGING Congress to reel in Freddie & Fannie!
Nope, 26. Keynesian economics is well established in todays macro-economic theory. I read Paul Krugman in the NYTimes every Monday and Friday. If Im not qualified, Im sure you can agree that Paul Krugman is vastly more qualified than you are on the subject of macro-economics and he vehemently disagrees with your notion that the government has no role in an economy but to get out of the way. Thats what led to the Great Depression and also led to the mortgage meltdown.
@sirscrotum Seriously dude, your economic plan which is no government role in the economy, would of put this country into a depression. If we had done nothing, millions would of lost their jobs. There is a role for government in an economy as large as ours and it isn’t to simply get out of the way so companies like Union Carbide can kill 3000 Americans next to one of their Pesticide Plants because regulations are inconvenient.
@H1TMANactual Actually macro-economics is one of my hobbies. My dad and I love discussing macro-economics and he has a business major from the University of Arizona. Anyways ask any Keynesian economist, even Paul Krugman who has won a Nobel Peace Prize for his economic theories, and me and him are on the exact same level as to how to run an economy. YOu want to try voodoo economics or something but it doesn’t work.I suggest you take a macro-economics course, instead.
@sirscrotum Ummm Bush was by no means a deregulator or small govt. Which part of he doubled the size of federal govt is so hard to understand??Actually most economists are for the free market or market oriented. You have NO idea what economics even is. Grab a book on econ 101 and stfu. I have debunked your typical liberal rhetoric thoroughly. Try again.
@H1TMANactual We had a deregulator and tax cutter in office for 8 years and he left the economy in the crapper. You believe in voodoo economics, it doesn’t work. It never will work. We need a president like Clinton, not George W Bush.
@sirscrotum If I am a free market “fundamentalist”, then you’re a govt “fundamentalist” And no one is arguing for private market to take over the militaryNope. Repeating your bs doesn’t make it true. Exactly which “key regulation”? I explained to you very clearly how Fannie & Freddie caused the mortgage crisis. Both the budget of SEC & the regulations only increased. So how exactly did de-regualation cause the crisis when regulations only increased every year?Try again & this time get a clue.
@H1TMANactual Actually I would blame the mortgage meltdown on the repeal of the Glass-Steagal act that separated investment banks and commercial bank. It was clear that was one of the key regulations that was no longer in place, making sure people can afford new loans, that caused the mortgage meltdown.I suspect you are a free-market fundamentalist. All those troops that killed OBL were federal employees. There are things that the government does better than any private corporation.
@sirscrotum No BP was an accident. You understand what an accident is right? Still a million times better than FEMA’s management of hurricane Katrina or false intels that leads to invasion of a country & deaths of hundreds of thousands.Mortgage crisis was caused by Fannie & Freddie guaranteeing sub-prime mortgages. SECs budget & regulations only grew under Bush like Sarbanes-Oxley. Banking is the MOST regulated sector. Nope. Size of the federal govt doubled under Bush.Try again.
@H1TMANactual Yea so I assume BP was a model corporation when they released all that oil into the gulf? You should look up the Bhopal India disaster, Corporation killed over 3000 people. Corporations screw things up, they are no better than the government. The mortgage meltdown was caused by lack of oversight on the banks.We had a deregulator and tax cutter for 8 years, the economy is actually worse off than it was before he got into office.
@airplanegod Clearly he knows absolutely NOTHING about engineering. He’s just a Justin Beiber tweener. Too old to still be infatuated w/ Beiber but too ignorant on making a smooth transition into the political realm… hehe.
