with the extra $600 in unemployment from march to august, you basically had everyone making the equivalent of $20 an hour or more

of course, can't have that because :qq: "i can't afford to pay my employees that" :qq:*

It was good for the stocks too, it isn't as though there's a trade-off here outside of hating the poor.



Also, I didn't realize that the us had 0 offshore wind?

some guy tried to pick a fight with me at a gas station because he wanted to jump the line at the air machine and I took my turn anyway, what the gently caress is wrong with people

he got out of his car and shrieked at me without a mask on so I get to worry about whether this shithead got me sick for the next week

Yeah, I don't understand why everyone is constantly pissed off all the time, the person behind me let him push in line so he "lost" ~4 minutes compared to the 10 he'd have been waiting in line had he been polite.

I think there are just a lot of losers out there who need to score tiny little petty wins in life to feel better. It's so tiring.

We had some nice snow pile-up on Wednesday, this was half of what eventually ended up on the ground and that pine tree didn't like it much



A bunch of snow was piled up in front of my car from the plows this morning and I just drove over it. Thanks, Subaru!

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
one of the problems with trees like that is that power company crews knock off half the branches on the road side and homeowners remove all the branches at the bottom, then the tree is unable to adequately distribute the load of the snow and it makes it more likely to get broken branches, snapped trunks, etc

eh. people get mad about that poo poo, but that's how it works when you have a proper union.

if the police service can't or won't get their poo poo together to get him out, that's their own fault, but having a CBA that says you can't be summarily fired is generally a good thing

we get the same thing up here all the time and the press makes a big deal about officers having been on admin leave for years, and all it shows is that the police service doesn't give a gently caress about actually enforcing code of conduct stuff

oh yeah, i agree completely and it pisses me off to no end when egregious offences and repeat offenders get to ride a desk for a few months before quietly going back to work with no more than maybe being docked some vacation time.
