I distinctly remember that being a selling point of his first campaign.

He was advertised as a Washington outsider, who had no connections and would drain the swamp.

Oh it’s definitely voter intimidation, they’re just using the law as a thinly veiled excuse to do it.

If someone put their name down for something, and the cops come knocking on their door about it, how many people do you think are really going to follow through and vote.

If they can find you because of a signature, they might find how you voted. And who’s to say they’ll just be asking questions next time.

This is classic mob tactics.

I work at a college.

Our facilities department went from being under staffed with 10 employees, to having only 3 because everyone retired.

I’m in the trades, so I thought about applying for part time with them as a way to get some extra cash. But even though I am qualified to train people in my trade, I am apparently unqualified to do the work they want. The only listings that have are for people with 15 years experience and engineering degrees.

To primarily change air filters, light fixtures, and swap electric motors.

A summary is useless if it’s not accurate.

What terrifies me is the number of elevators I’ve been in that haven’t been inspected since the pandemic started.

Elevator cables are a consumable, they wear down faster than one would think. And while elevators are fairly safe machines with redundant safeties, I’m worried we’re going to see a big uptick in accidents. And that’s just elevators, I don’t want to even think about all the other infrastructure that hasn’t been inspected in years that could fail at any time. Pumps, backflow preventers, bridges, and dozens of other things need regular inspection and maintenance.

The problem is that they get golden parachutes while the engineer and dozens or hundreds of his peers who has invested years into a “good, established company” gets shafted due to lay offs.

It’s YouTube, there is no line, just a vague squiggle that you can cross without any warning.

My wife’s car lets you drive up to half a mile without the fob in the car.

As opening moves go, that was pretty bold.

We’re still trying to get people to quit smoking.

If phones killed you, we’d all just have to die

MAD is like 2 men standing in a lake of gasoline, one man has 3 matches, the other has 5, both threaten to use their matches if the other uses his.

Russia is saying they’ll use their matches if the other guy throws a rock at him. The fucking situation is stupid and I hope that my ashes get blasted to a different planet when the bombs go off. I don’t want to even be a part of this stupid planets carbon cycle anymore.
