Reply to New dwellings in Washington state must be warmed by heat pumps, rather than furnaces, beginning in July, state board rules Friday by BarnabyWoods
I'm all for radiant floor heat and heat-pumps in new homes, and I own an electric car. But JFC. we'll never get over our addiction to bonneville dam will we. salmon always come last. how about we focus on building industrial scale solar in eastern WA first before pointless mandates. next it will be "no more cooking with gas". the way they'll accomplish that is through the home insurance industry. and then once every single thing is electric, and they can control your home over the internet, the "limits" will start. "no keeping your house over 68 degrees in the winter".
"there's only so much clean energy to go around ya know". okay, fine. BUILD some. I see a lot of mandates and virtue signalling about sustainable energy, but strangely not a lot of of actual building of sustainable energy generation. "But we have bonneville!" Yes, and we also used to have a columbia basin ecosystem capable of feeding millions of people with salmon runs.
"take down dams!"....."oh wait no, don't take down dams we need them!"

Reply to Does WA PFML cover part time mental health leave by Cautious-Roll7629

yes, it counts. but you still need a doctor to sign off. you might have a hard time if you haven't had an inpatient stay or something serious like that going on. you can't just be like "I'm depressed and i don't feel like going to work for two weeks" and get FMLA. but if you feel like you really need it, get the paperwork and talk to your doc.
