I mean sure, 25th most dangerous at 8.4 deaths per 100,000.

Yeah, and what was the death rate/100,000 for UX/UI designers before the actuaries realized that the USA is an obscenely violent country where the possibility of a disgruntled coworker rolling into the office with an assault weapon was real and quantifiable for lots of white collar workers?
As someone who works in/around construction, I feel pretty comfortable saying that the work entails a significantly higher level of exposure to risk of serious bodily harm than the sorts of jobs that the majority of people who post here perform.
ETA: Macabre humor aside, I know there are a lot of jobs more dangerous than being a sparky. But the risk level correlates both to the specific field within the trade you choose to pursue, your competence, and the competence of your crew (oh, and fate/chance/happenstance, infrequently).
Once they work out the kinks... I think it will be very interesting.

The Feds get involved they tend to make things worse. Let nature take its course. But the sawmills be rolling in the dough and living large right now. Just too many people who want to be electricians instead of lumberjacks or mill workers.

Lumber prices have spiked this year. Lumber futures contracts for May delivery hit $1,645 per 1,000 board feet, up from about 60% a month ago, and 374% over the last year, reports Wells Fargo. It's the fastest rise since the post-World War II housing boom, according to Mark Vitner, managing director and senior economist at Wells Fargo.
"The demand for lumber is exceptionally high and the supply is constrained," Vitner said. As recently as Friday, the cash price was $1,514 per thousand board feet.
That hit home building hard. The National Association of Home Builders reported that lumber costs are adding an average of $36,000 to new single family home prices. Those prices have also added $12,966 to the value of an average new multifamily home. As those are typically built to rent, that in turn is adding $119 a month in rent to new apartments.

While this may be good for realtors, locals are shell-shocked at the price hikes due to what the Flathead Beacon called the “COVID migration” from states like New York. “(The housing crisis) is happening all over Montana,” one Whitefish local told The Post. “No one who is from here can actually afford to live here anymore.”
According to Realtor.com, just before the pandemic in December 2019, the average home price in Whitefish, a town of 7,700 people just south of Glacier National Park, was $369,450. A year and a half later, that has almost doubled — and the average home price is now $704,000. Local average wages in Whitefish are just $30,642, according to bestplaces.net.

If noone wants to live in NYC or LA or the Bay Area anymore and these folks are paying high prices in the boonies, who is buying their now undesirable overpriced places in the big cities???
I believe they have enough money to just keep them both but I'm not sure.
The flood of people hasn't stopped in Bozeman and a house up the street (I lived in the same floor plan) is on the market for 250k above what mine sold for around 2.5-3 years ago. No idea if they'll get it but 560k for a 1500 sq. ft. SFH seems absurd to me.
Pitting middle class homebuyers against megainvestment firms in a competition over a house to call a home is not freedom, the American dream, or liberty... it is corporatocracy and cronyism caustic to the ideals of the Republic.
This gets fixed fast, like in a month, by Federal legislation, or you are just setting the grounds for civil disorder that will make last summer and Occupy Wall Street look like kindgartners squabbling on the playground.
RE: Bozeman.
And when the County Commissioners say no who will pay for the ensuing litigation? This guy is right about the problems we face with our current level of growth, problem is that this is how our system functions.Quote:
Letter to the editor: Officials allowing over-development across valley
The city and county commissioners’ unofficial “maximum accommodation” policy (not to be confused with growth management!) has generated unprecedented over-development throughout Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley the past 25-plus years. According to latest estimates, the 2.4% growth rate in 2020 brought the county’s population to 119,938 — and we still do not have a county-wide public transit system!
Bottom line upfront: How does this ongoing invasion of people (many from out of state) detrimentally affect our quality of life?
- productive agricultural land is lost forever
- ever-increasing property taxes
- elevated crime rate
- ever-increasing traffic and
- unaffordable (to most) housing crisis
Consequently, many low-wage workers can no longer afford to live here, while business owners struggle to staff positions? Is this really what we want for our community? Contrary to what they would have you believe, uncontrolled, “runaway” growth is not inevitable here or elsewhere — and it’s high time the commissioners said “no” to new development.

1st thing our leaders need to address is the issue of water for our future. They want to slow down growth? (they don't) Require development to address water, both for now and the future.

Curious as to what legislation you think would accomplish this- like what angle would you come at the problem from?
