Lies, Damned Lies, and Manometer Readings
“It just knows.”
The senior HVAC technician I’d been working with on a home remodel answered with the conviction of decades of experience. I, on the other hand, was less certain. How could a new furnace “know” that it had just been connected to a 20-year-old air conditioner (from a competing brand), somehow read that unit’s cooling capacity, and then calibrate its own output to the precisely required airflow? In a bid to reconcile the reading on my manometer with the tech’s supposed savvy, I asked whether he was certain. He was, he told me, quite positive. “Tell you what,” he said. “If I’m wrong, then there’s probably 200 air conditioners in Princeton with bad airflow. And that can’t be right.”

I was told today the the local utility company could not communicate with any of their techs because of this. At some point in the day, that changed but it was an interesting few hours in the morning. Today’s AT&T cellular network meltdown was a reminder. It’s going down when we least expect it. More: AT&T acknowledged the outage to CNBC, telling the network that it was “working urgently to restore service” to customers and that it recommended Wi-Fi calling until service could be restored.

True but a good case could be made that both our healthcare and our education are overpriced compared to much of the world. Both rightists and leftists assume that the U.S. spends far lower to combat social problems (poverty, healthcare, education) than peer nations, but that is not true.
