    everything in the world aggravates you. It is probably what keeps you going through this universe. I would suggest you lean into it. Honestly, it seems to be what you burn to exist.

    the first clue is that he thinks it's relevant when the project manager shows up once things are underway... running around doing random shit is pretty much what the general labour is supposed to do, so long as it isn't irreversible while also not starting anything new.

    Not sure I'd trust that this idiot knows which end of a sawz-all to hold?

    Look at that. You said something worthwhile, and it didn't require 30 fucking paragraphs.

    Y'know what story you never hear?
    A German welder during WWII figuring out Hitler was full of shit, and refusing to weld for him, and evacuating the country.
    Seems like there was always just enough welders to keep those planes and tanks churning out on the regular.
    Now, I'm not saying welders are bad at politics, but nothing about welding makes you especially good at politics either.

    Funny thing... My grandparents were born in Denmark around the turn of the 20th century, so were teens during WW1
    They came to Canada with their 2.5 kids around the ass end of 1936 as they'd already seen what happens when Germany started getting punchy once.

    this showed up in the FB feed...



    Something to think about....
    What if you were a single parent with a child . You work full time for $14.00 hr. You bring home roughly $800 .00 per paycheck (bi-weekly).
    Your bills:
    $1, 000 . 00 / rent
    $150 .00 / electrical
    $250 .00 / car payment
    $150 .00 / car insurance
    So let’s do the math :
    You bring home about
    $1,600 .00 a month & your bills average about $1,550.00 (give or take).
    You’re making it, but barely.
    This doesn't even include groceries, internet, cable, cell phone, etc .
    (nor does it include child tax credit, or child support)
    Now, it’s a really cold December and you get a power bill for $600 .00
    How do you pay that?
    To put it simply , you don’t.
    Because you can’t.
    So your power gets shut off.
    But you know what your lease says?
    It says you get evicted if your utilities are terminated.
    So now you’re in court crying to a judge who doesn’t care, & you have 10 days to get out.
    Well you’re in luck, because you found somewhere with 3 days to spare & it’s only $650.00 a month!
    But to get in, you must pass a background & credit check. Which you can’t because you just got evicted.
    You’ve never been a criminal, but even if you could pass it, you’re looking at $1300 to move in, after paying the deposit & first month’s rent.
    Time’s up ....
    Landlord shows up at 7am with the police & changed your locks.
    So, now you’re living in your car with your 7 year old son & everything you need to get by.
    You tried to get a storage unit, but you don’t have a billing address so they won’t sell one to you. So you could only take what would fit in your backseat.
    You pay to shower at local truck stops & eat whatever can be cooked in a gas station microwave.Someone sees you & your son living like this & calls C.P.S; guess what happens next ? ? ?
    They remove your child from your care.
    As if this isn’t devastating enough, you lose your job too. (Because “an employee losing their child reflects poorly on this company .”)
    So now, you apply for an apartment with the region where the waiting list is 3-7 years.
    Then you go into Wal-Mart to put in an application.
    When you get back to your car you see that your back window has been smashed & someone helped themselves to your belongings. Remember that it is December & really cold. Now you have damage to your only shelter.
    You call your car insurance, who says your deductible is $1,000.00
    ~ AND ~ they’re going to increase your monthly rate since you’re now
    “ high risk .”
    You call the homeless shelter as a last resort & all their beds are full.
    I’ll stop here .....
    Because I think you get the point .
    The people we work with everyday are these people .
    WE ARE THESE PEOPLE .
    We are all so close to homelessness & don’t even realize it .

    Alas, no.

    It was a fairly plain, uninteresting sammich with dijon. Pretty sure the cheddar cheese bread broke my gas line. Haven't had to call Enbridge yet, although the neighbours are complaining about a suspected gas leak.

    Are you upset that that was the best part of the sandwich, or that dijon is clearly French? :chris:

    Education should be free until you're 30 and on your third liberal arts graduate degree. Your room and board money should be stolen from white men at gunpoint.

    Everyone who makes less than 20 an hour should be sterilized anyway.
    And the no fault divorce thing.
    And anyone with the teensiest sniff of personality disorder should be in a padded cell.

    Trap the woman in marriage, lock up the dad, or poof the kid away.
    Any one of those balances the ledger.
    Heil money.

    What if the consequences are due to competition for a place to live? They have no choices and made no poor decisions.

    Because competition is completely unforeseeable, and nobody can plan in advance to live where they can afford housing.
