Breaking news

I just figured out that if I install a handicapped ramp that the FBI and all the other Federal agencies will be afraid to enter my house. I mean slopes and all.

 

I am having it sloped 4:1 and it is being installed next week

Yoo can trust Mail in voting

No, seriously, you can….Because you can trust the USPS. Really, you can. (I mean, the USPS in my area seems lo lose 1 in 20 pieces of mail, but they blame the sorting centers in Chicago……)

 

This happened in a mostly Democratic neighborhood…but it likely has happened elsewhere. Bet on it in Red areas.

Mail carrier dumps thousands of pieces of mail, including some mail-in ballots.

At the end of it, we can only trust In-Person balloting that is ID verified (and requires some sort of registration) with some sort of marker that makes it obvious that you voted…so you can’t do it twice.

One wonders how these postal workers think.

I guess one reason is that they get away with it. They should do real jail time and lose their jobs and benefits…..but they don’t.

Funny how the “environment” matters…until politics matters more.

So due to tornado damage, the Joliet refinery is out of service for another month or so…leading to spot shortages and a tight gasoline supply…the greater Chicago area has to use a “boutique Blend” of gasoline because the EPA says we don’t meet certain air quality standards….

And this has led to a greatly increased cost for gasoline, as the market reacts to the tighter supply…

Which leads to somewhat disgruntled people, as we are paying nearly a dollar more than people a hundred or more miles away…And people are blaming the current government for the price of gasoline. Which might affect how they vote….

Of course this being an election year, the EPA has granted waivers for the other refineries to blend “normal” gasoline for sale in the area…instead of the special blend. 

Funny innit, how the environment matters….. until people voting Democrat matters more.
