Would you rather have injured or dead workers?I also (begrudgingly) acknowledge there's much more regulation in 2025 than 1955 or 1971

of course not...but it seems at times the regulations are excessive...akin to a meteor striking the planet...yes it could happen, but are the odds so minuscule to warrant the extra steps? I'm not in that field so I'm not pretending to be an expert. It's just my perception. And I've read numerous articles from multiple reputable sources saying that regulations are a (if not the) major reasons why home prices have surged in recent decades.
NB: In my managerial job I have to deal with regulations daily and I can say from my firsthand experience their onerous nature make me question the benefit.
2 examples from just the last month:
A professional musician (quite famous I don't want to give the name...yet..... but I'll ask if he'll give me permission...he performed at Disneyland numerous times for example) wanted to perform for a little benefit concert. When I told him the regulations he said, "how about this, I'll do it as a volunteer, as a gift?"
I found out that he still had to do all the paperwork/forms/fees/etc.
A speaker could still fall on someone's foot don't ya know!
2nd. Someone wanted to rent my parking lot for a couple days so the film crew would have a place to park while doing a shoot several miles away. We did it last year no problem. I had nothing going on those days, and they would be at the opposite side of the property anyway.
Nope: still had to fill the forms/pay the fees/get the multiple approvals.
Someone can fall out of their car after they parked!
We were able to get it done with moments to spare. Those parked cars sure caused alot of havoc!
There are more lawyers in South Florida alone than all of Japan.
From yesterday: Bi-partisan (so NOT political and YES still on topic...so I'm really hoping this isn't deleted lol?) move to post all Fed Regs so Americans don't accidentally become felons.
Freedom Caucus joins progressives in rare bipartisan push targeting 'insane' federal laws
The House passed a bill on Monday aimed at overhauling the U.S. criminal justice system with one lawmaker saying there are "far too many federal crimes" that Americans don't know about."

Regulation really isn’t the issue that slows down Disney. The regulations are known and even in places like California and Florida where they change every three years and that’s still the result of a 4+ year cycle.I also (begrudgingly) acknowledge there's much more regulation in 2025 than 1955 or 1971
Buildings have also become more complex. Magic Kingdom was built with a central computer room to control attractions but they didn’t envision a network of cash registers at the stores.
Disney’s problems are far more internal than external.
Housing is different. The big regulatory hurdles are zoning and development related, limiting where and what type of housing can be built. Disney’s parks in the US are pretty much free and clear of zoning issues.

I’m not. I love physical effects - I’m a sucker for the mummy, spider man, Indiana jones at DL, etc. but I would be happy to be proven wrong.
Is WDI still in projection mapping era?

Not a very good picture but you can see the steel in place in the bottom center of the picture.

FYI this is what NFL looked like ~23 months before it opened.
Vertical construction is visible?? That’s… basically meaningless. For all intents and purposes.

It's a milestone worth celebrating on every construction project
that's really impressive
people being negative about construction for the land that's being a vast improvement and Joe Rhode consulted should take a Time Machine back to the chapeak 2020 days. also for the love of Walt this is Disney, it should be fun, not something to be miserable over

Thank you! They say misery loves company so I guess we’re all supposed to be the company

Why? Visibility is a function of the wall placement, not anything related to the actual work.
Vertical construction doesn’t mean steel and has been going on for some time now. All of those concrete walls they’ve been pouring are vertical construction.

I very much appreciate the positivity. I’ve actually been more negative than usual myself so I welcome this as a slap in the face to get me off this negative vibe.

You can chose to be confused if you so desire.
