This was an eye-opener for me. Less temporary foreign workers do construction than the general population? Seriously?

"This is hard" is the least controversial take possible on anything, but I guess it's welcome in the times of demagogues and eternal outrage.

The thing is, it's usually true. Even when it's not hard it's often complicated - just think about climate change over the last several decades, for example. I don't envy politicians, who have to keep everyone distracted and happy while their staffers do the real work. They seem to enjoy the gig though.
