@TonyaStadlman Not defending Ferg, but BoomerDoofus let the decade of record revenues build an unsustainable monster that cannot be fed. He squandered what could have set us up for the next decade via investment.
@PNWConservative I work on the financial side of WA public works. Gov construction is a money distribution system first, product second. There is a literal army of bureaucrats, staff, consultants, attorneys, etc, that eat up a large percentage of the cost before the first shovel is lifted.
@SuddenLncident When I had a motorcycle, I would never take the high bridge in and out of my neighborhood for this reason. We had a low bridge that was a bit more out of the way.
@adamtaggart Boomers never, GenX will wait to see the results. Skeptical, but if AI handily beats the experts, let alone the normal schmoe, I'll outsource at least some of it.
@NNick_Valentine When you can choose, research. It is not hard to look up ownership on your secretary of state's website. Found out the vet I was considering was owned by a woman who lived a neighborhood over. Easy choice. I don't think I've freely chosen a chain restaurant in over a decade.
