This is a “one of my readers tells me” stories. Let’s take it with a few grains of salt.

I have known Patterico for about a decade, and have had long serious discussions with him about ethics and related subjects, and find him to be a person of sterling integrity who does not make stuff up — and certainly not for the sake of a blog post.

Ah, but just think of the jobs created or saved by requiring that wheelchair ramp. The concrete plant, the concrete truck driver, the concrete workers, the general contractor, and of course the gravel company that supplied the concrete company, the gas station that fueled the concrete truck, the Gulp-n-Go that sold drinks to the concrete workers, the retailer who sold pencils to the general contractor……..

This wheelchair ramp may have created or saved thousands of jobs. We should have required two. Or would that have overstimulated the economy?
