A nitrogen generator is like 30k, which in building projects is a drop in the bucket. They probably prefer tanks cause they are more mobile and simpler, anybody can run a line and twist a valve.

Lots of armchair speculation incoming: In the article, it mentions the tanks some times hit their pressure release causing “snow”, so they must not be pushing much gas as I’m guessing the heat of the sun is causing the tank to over pressure. That leads me to believe they aren’t trying to pressurizing the whole sewer system, but create a positive pressure in the conduit or sleeve the lines run through in the sewer system.

They must have to do a ton of venting and gas checks before climbing down into any of the manholes when this system is running anywhere in the vicinity.

Nitrogen makes up most of the atmosphere and is a relatively cheap gas to capture and compress.

Interesting fact: Echidnas, like platypus, have no stomach.

You point out the “problem”. “Productivity” and “hours at work” are decoupled in your situation, but as a culture we generally don’t believe that to be true. We exalt the people that “burn the midnight oil” and “stay late to get things done” because we assume more hours equals more work getting done. Until we break that culture, a 4 day work week is not going to be widely accepted.

Gentler defaults to the courts rather than discussions and rule making. That’s dangerous because every court decision is binding, and not always what the SEC wants.

Furthermore he’s two faced. He told crypto companies to come talk to him and let’s make some rules together. Every company that talked to him now is being sued by the SEC and has publicly said they got stonewalled before.

Dude needs to go.
