Last Week Tonight Last Night
If you missed Last Week Tonight with John Oliver last night, the Main Story was on home renovation -- more specifically about the government PACE program which is well-meaning, for helping to bring environmental improvements to a home's energy efficiency, but has so many potholes in the way it's implemented that it's been a disaster for far too many people. The report is an odd one, but very good and often very funny. The one issue is that it's so detail oriented about regulations that, at times, the story risks spinning out of control.
Another minor issue, that reader Douglass Abramson pointed out, is that the story doesn't mention one core reality for all home renovation -- never, never, never sign a contract to do home renovation with anyone who ever knocks on your door uninvited or cold-calls you.
