To me yes...I don't like attacks on their character because people don't like the gov. I don't find it difficult to hold that position while at the same time being uncomfortable with the gov's recent decision making...
And there AIN’T no hero…
Think it's because there's a big reddit thread on it pointing to the article here.
We don't know who the inspectors are, so to talk about their integrity as individuals seems to me to be missing the point. What we do know is why they are being sent in to inspect Disney's monorails, so that seems a reasonable focus for the discussion.
I agree...which is why I didn't understand why some went down that road.
That is of course one topic for discussion...
Structures are designed with a design life after which they will likely require reinforcement, replacement of parts or both. Prior to computer aided design and ageing simulation things were, more often than not, overdesigned to have safety margin.
The physical monorail trains were replaced in 2007.
And they have been completely rebuilt multiple times with the Roger currently being rebuilt at Strasburg and the Roy being next in line.
It is very, very silly, in an era in which previously broadly respected professionals like teachers and doctors are recklessly attacked and demonized (including, it must be said, by the very same Florida leadership we are discussing) to pretend safety inspectors are so inherently honest and free of political influence that tangentially impugning them is beyond the pale. I’m sure most inspectors are honest, upright individuals. I’m also sure a few are deeply dishonest and corrupt. I’m also sure none are able to fully escape the biases of their employers and that the second, dishonest contingent, however small, is far more likely to be favored by an administration bent on using safety inspections as punishment.
While this is very fair, every single other person appointed during this mess has been a straight up DeSantis crony. There's no reason to believe any newly appointed inspectors would be different. Obviously the state has inspectors that pre-date DeSantis taking office, but with the limited information we have, we don't know if this will be new inspectors or existing ones.
You brought it up...a little self-awareness would be helpful.
Yes, because based on all available evidence, that is what will happen. Do you dispute that this legislation is in explicitly bad faith? Or do you feel that an administration which, throughout this mess, has stocked every relevant post with unqualified cronies, will suddenly hand off this assignment to an incorruptible individual and make no attempt to influence them? Or are you arguing that the role of safety inspector is so sacred that an administration acting in aggressive bad faith will be unable to find even a single individual willing to act on that administrations demands?
The Mark VII uses the Mark V bodies (sans nose) and Mark III chassis.
You have zero evidence though....that is the thing. You're basing it solely on the gov's actions rather than how these types of inspections work in practice today, which is just not evidence for what you are suggesting is going to occur. In actuality, what you proposed in that post is highly unlikely and really sounds like fear mongering. If the inspectors go in and continue to find all these costly violations as you suggest and continue to demand more, then that would show Disney maintenance is in shambles...
You are blindly hoping that an endeavor started with bad intentions will somehow stumble its way into good results. How does an honest inspector do an honest inspection without causing the desired harm if told to complete it during the course of a normal work day?
