Over the past several months, I’ve watched too many brilliant, dedicated friends lose their jobs across government, academia, and public media. It’s heartbreaking.
These losses reflect the broader erosion of the institutions that uphold our democracy, generate knowledge, and strengthen civic life.
And we will continue to feel their absence in unexpected and lasting ways.

so our 8yo has some issues with adhd and writing in school, and one of his teachers mentioned special tutoring she could give him during the holidays. paid of course. according to something called the Davis method.
Wife: "I don't want to google that because I'm afraid what I will find"
2 hours later, message from her while we are trying to get the kids to sleep: "turns out it isn't science-based"
so I search for it and... good lord is that sus.
it's not even that she got any money out of us yet. or likely ever will.
but right now I am struggling to contain my rage.
and I know it's not only her attempt at fleecing us.
there's so many shitty things happening right now in my life and the world at large and I barely can deal with any of them. and I KNOW if I let this get to me I am gonna pour all the resentment and anger of the last few months into it and it's gonna eat me up from inside.

On Wednesday, June 25, Mauricio Hernández Norambuena, a former member of the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front (FPMR), was transferred to the Santiago Sur Pre-Trial Detention Center after a long stay at the Rancagua Penitentiary Hospital due to a serious health problem. Known as “Commander Ramiro”, he is 67 years old and lost 4 kilos suddenly after showing symptoms such as fever, sweating, fatigue, intense muscle pain and cramps. He is subject to strict security measures and is constantly monitored by three agents, in particular because he participated in the “Escape of the Century” of 30 December 1996, which deeply traumatized the Chilean authorities.
Hernández Norambuena’s family issued a statement expressing concern about the symptoms he has been showing for weeks and criticizing the lack of information provided by the authorities. The transfer took place a few days after this warning. At the same time, several demonstrations were organized to demand the release of the internationalist activist sentenced to several decades in prison in Brazil and Chile.

In Latin America’s rapidly evolving infrastructure market, contractors and construction firms are not only looking for performance and affordability—they’re also placing increasing value on safety across the entire life cycle of their equipment. Asphalt plants, in particular, are long-term investments that operate under demanding conditions. From procurement to maintenance and eventual resale, evaluating the safety cost is becoming a strategic decision for buyers in the region.
Whether purchasing a mini asphalt plant, a full-scale stationary unit, or a mobile asphalt plant for remote projects, Latin American buyers are beginning to ask a critical question: how does safety impact my cost and return on investment throughout the plant’s life span?
For many Latin American customers, construction projects are often carried out in challenging environments—mountainous regions, coastal zones, rural roads, or politically sensitive areas. In such conditions, the safety of equipment is directly linked to operational continuity, employee protection, and legal compliance.
While an asphalt plant for sale(planta de asfalto en venta) with lower upfront cost may seem attractive, experienced buyers recognize that lower safety standards can lead to much higher expenses over time. These may include equipment damage, project delays, regulatory fines, worker injuries, or expensive emergency repairs. As a result, safety is no longer seen as an optional feature—it is viewed as a necessary part of risk management and cost control.
The first touchpoint where safety cost is considered is during procurement. Latin American buyers today are far more informed and deliberate. They often compare various manufacturers not only by capacity and mobility but also by safety configuration.
Key features considered at this stage include:
Buyers understand that a well-equipped mini asphalt plant(mini plantas de asfalto) may have a slightly higher purchase price, but it also reduces the likelihood of expensive failures in the field. This is especially important for contractors working in areas with limited technical support or slow logistics.
Once an asphalt plant is in use, safety systems play a major role in minimizing downtime and maintaining production efficiency. A mobile asphalt plant, for instance, may be deployed in remote or temporary locations, where even minor safety incidents can result in serious consequences due to the lack of nearby service teams or spare parts.
Operational safety contributes to:
These benefits directly reduce running costs over the plant’s operational years. In addition, plants with robust safety systems often require less manual intervention, which means fewer labor hours and less risk of human error.
Regular maintenance is essential for any asphalt plant, but safety-focused equipment tends to reduce the frequency and severity of maintenance events. Smart monitoring systems can alert operators to potential problems before they lead to breakdowns. Features such as wear detection, temperature control, and real-time diagnostics simplify maintenance routines and help extend the plant’s life cycle.
In Latin American countries where maintenance logistics may be slow or expensive—such as in Amazonian regions, Andean plateaus, or rural parts of Central America—this preventive capability translates into significant cost savings.
Furthermore, maintenance of safer equipment tends to be easier and more predictable, which supports long-term planning and budgeting.
Another reason Latin American customers pay attention to safety costs is the resale market. Asphalt plants with a strong safety profile often retain higher resale value. Prospective second-hand buyers tend to favor machines that have well-documented safety performance, intact protective systems, and a history of reliable operation.
A mobile asphalt plant(planta de asfalto movil) or mini asphalt plant with built-in safety systems is especially attractive on the resale market due to their flexibility and readiness for quick deployment.
In some cases, local governments or public-private partnerships in Latin America also have strict procurement rules that favor second-hand equipment with verifiable safety features. This makes it easier for sellers to recover more of their initial investment.
For Latin American customers, evaluating the safety cost of asphalt plants is no longer limited to the point of purchase. It is now integrated into every stage of the plant’s life cycle—from procurement and daily operation to maintenance and eventual resale.
While a safer plant may carry a slightly higher price tag initially, it delivers far more value in terms of uptime, efficiency, compliance, and brand reputation. For contractors and developers focused on long-term profitability and operational success, choosing an asphalt plant for sale with a high safety configuration is a decision that pays off many times over.
