"There's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution" - from ~30 years working in system admin & tech support. Temporary solutions tend to be implemented quickly, then renewed indefinitely because it's much less work to just keep the patch-up job running. This explains a great deal about the state of computer software, but I'm sure we can all come up with real-world examples. Waaay too many real-world examples.

The berthing barge was generally threadbare, temperatures fluctuated frequently and violently, reefer units rarely worked, and the heads (the bathrooms) were insufficient in basically every respect. And this is coming from someone whose first ship was a warship so old and busted, they couldn't sell it off, so they used it as target practice.

@3:51 the chart says 1888, I think it's supposed to be 1988.

If I've learned anything about temporary measures, it's that they're almost invariably permanent, doesn't matter if it's New York or anywhere else with humans. The reason is simple: The temporary measure makes the problem a thing to solve later, so other things then take priority (ie finding), then later comes, the cheapest solution is then to extend the temporary measure.

This is the best Nebula bait I've ever seen.

There used to be a prison ship in Belfast Harbour in the 1970's. It was called HMP Maidstone. One night a few inmates dived into the harbour and escaped. It didn't last too much longer after that.

What a lot of people seem to have forgotten is that Giulliani was on his way to prison. He had been using a fleet of buses to shuttle homeless people from shelter to shelter across New York to make them less visible by spreading them out, which also trapped them in homelessness by preventing them from getting jobs, contacting landlords, or connecting with social services. A judge ruled this was a violation of civil rights and ordered Giulliani to stop -- which he completely ignored. A judge had just ruled Giulliani in contempt of court when 9/11 happened and everything was quietly swept under the rug, because the civil rights of a bunch of smelly poor people were much less important than waving a patriotic flag.
