Definitely wasn't due to US "regulation"

I think we got lazy with our designs once centralized air was mainstreamed. The house my father grew up in the 1950s was designed like you mentioned. It would only allow light through during certain times of year/day with its overhanges and louvers and it jad more windows which allow more air flow....now according to him it was still a miserable place to live during the 1950s Texas summers....

I can only speak for Texas, but those stand alone "emergency rooms" are more of a scam than anything else. This year we had one refuse to assist my father (who was alone at the time) while he was having a stoke, instead the staff instructed him to get back into his car and drive to an actual hospital...while still having a stroke!

It sounds like many of the places in Texas mentioned in the article are those "emergency rooms". We saw a hugh influx of those crappy places several years ago when they changed some rules regarding insurance. Its all a money grab.

I'm not up to date on the latest elephant measuring units but we're talking at lease 7.8million horse lengths away of that helps.

If you're looking for greater accuracy we can always convert that to badgers with a simple formula.

Judging by the cloud reports, listening to the eclipse may be the only way most Texans get to experience it.

Is this what they meant about a "bright future ahead of us"?
