We have 7-11's that deliver slurpees by drone dammit, it's great.
Yes - there is a welfare cliff. It's not set up right. If you work, you get lower benefits to the point that combined with income is less than what you'd get if you just didn't work. Disability is like this too - my mom wanted to work even with her various later in life illnesses, but she could only do a few hours a week at a part time job. The second she were to do that however a lot of her benefits would have disappeared and she wouldn't have been able to make ends meet. You have to make it worthwhile to make people want to work, that means you shouldn't be able to be better off not working.

stupid question but I've never drawn public toilets, my toilet doesn't have an underside or header do I just draw the swing and a line to indicate a door? Someone told me to draw in a doorheader to indicate door levels....

Revit has toilet compartment families. You just plop a manufacturer's family in and host it on a surface.
Autocad... I just use line work.

A rant: The new R administration is planning to get rid of the NEA and NEH. I'm fucking terrified of the direction our country is headed and don't know how to manage it. I'm designing something right now (took a day off work to focus on it, in fact): a piece for The Public Collection, a sponsored collection of small free lending libraries here in Naptown. Mine will be a lending library adjacent to a neighborhood that has been one of the most dangerous in the city in the recent past, yet there's a public school there, and tons of children. For the design I'm focusing on the way a neighborhood contains stories, and I'm working with a fantastic poet in collaboration.
It's really fucking hard to throw myself into good design when I know that the country right now is pandering to close-minded isolationist demagogues who refuse to acknowledge - despite eons of evidence to the contrary - that art is basically what makes us human. For fuckssake.
Josh Mings

I honestly can't trust anyone with the design tastes that Trump shows. This goes for both sides of the aisle, and yes that makes me judgmental as all get out.
So my hometown is installing "Home of Vice President Pence" signs tomorrow. Sure, lets celebrate someone that tries to codify hate laws.

Welcome to the New American Corporation.."Trump-AmeriCo". Trump-AmeriCo will eliminate any culture our relatively young nation has endeavored to create. No more museums, art, national parks, music, theater, historic preservation, etc..Trump-AmeriCo will be a developer driven, value engineered vast wasteland of corporate greed and corruption.

I'm trying to find something to get me thru this weird ass day:
A look at 10 of the key promises Trump made for his first day as president:
—Introduce a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits.
—Freeze hiring for the federal government to reduce payrolls, although the military, public safety and public health agencies would be exempt.
—Ban White House and congressional officials from becoming lobbyists for five years after they leave the government.
—Announce plans to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico or withdraw from the deal.
—Formally withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
—Lift restrictions on mining coal and drilling for oil and natural gas.
—Remove any Obama-era roadblocks to energy projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline.
—Cancel U.S. payments to U.N. climate change programs and redirect the money to U.S. water and environmental infrastructure.
—Stop all federal funding to "sanctuary cities," places where local officials don't arrest or detain immigrants living in the country illegally for federal authorities.
—Suspend immigration from regions associated with terrorism where vetting is difficult.

The problem of course, is that for every job lost to outsourcing, 8-10 jobs have been lost to automation.
