I almost posted a “check their Venmo” Gaetz joke when this story first broke. But it felt too ridiculous. 🤦‍♀️

1942 or 1943 black and white photo of three young Germans sitting near trees in what appears to be a park: a young man in a military uniform, a dark-haired young woman in civilian clothes, and a young man in civilian clothes. They are Hans Scholl, his sister Sophie Scholl, and their friend Christoph Probst, members of the White Rose Society who protested against the Nazi government. The Nazis executed them by guillotine on 22 February 1943.

On 22 February 1943, three young Germans, members of the White Rose Society -- Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst -- were guillotined by the Nazis for distributing leaflets speaking out against the crimes of the Third Reich. Their bravery, and their cause, will not be forgotten.

JOB INTERVIEWER: What’s your biggest weakness?

ME: I’d say my greatest strength is listening.

Exiting is the key factor for building fire safety, as borne out in Grenfell. Twin Towers, The Station, etc.

I'd like to see those two floor plans at the same scale. It appears the US building is far larger, so actually *less* circulation than the top plan. This is economics, not fire code.
