@JCEM1983 I’ve seen one of those try to fly through the trees in Upper Creek...

Sheer genius! They have identified the only way to reach the entirety of white conservative Americans...

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

The squelching of individual decision-making by the imposition of collective decisions arrived at by third parties, whether those third parties are elites or masses, usually means essentially allowing ignorance to overrule knowledge.

45 minute wait on the phone for @QuickBooks is unacceptable. Prices keep going up but little change in value. Time to look at @NetSuite.

We have the best @NCDOT in Haywood County! Always quick to clear our community roadways.

Just saw @GardaWorld truck in Asheville park in handicapped space so they could pick up lunch. So #inconsiderate of those who may need it.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

“The word ‘racism’ is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything — and demanding evidence makes you a ‘racist.’”

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

“Civil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination.”

Hello @ManCanBeer. I bought 3 128oz picnic kits last year and 2 of the regulators are leaking. Still on the first CO2 cylinders that came with them. Any warranty or recall on these?

"It would never occur to people with academic degrees and professorships that they are both ignorant and incompetent in vast areas of human life, much less that they should keep that in mind before they vent their emotions and wax self-righteous."

#AVL City Council voted 4-3 last night to cut city’s Civil Service Board. With no talks with the workers that this move would affect, Council has launched a direct attack on the city’s workers and citizens. @EstherManheimer @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk @NCStateAFLCIO @WLOS_13 @asheville

[Asheville Fire Fighters @AFFA332]

#AVL’s Civil Service Board gives crucial due process for workers AND management in disputes surrounding terminations, grievances, etc.. Last time we checked, due process was an integral part of our society. @EstherManheimer @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk @NCStateAFLCIO @WLOS_13 @asheville

[Asheville Fire Fighters @AFFA332]

#AVL’s Civil Service Board also protects citizens of our city, being a check/balance to assure that management aren’t able to hire/fire in an unethical way, which would thus waste taxpayer money. @EstherManheimer @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk @NCStateAFLCIO @WLOS_13 @asheville @mxnews

[Asheville Fire Fighters @AFFA332]

#AVL City Council has prided itself in recent years for making our city more worker-friendly. Last night’s vote as well as the proposed budget (or the items that are lacking) prove otherwise. @EstherManheimer @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk @NCStateAFLCIO @WLOS_13 @asheville @mxnews

[Asheville Fire Fighters @AFFA332]

#AVL budget proposal: 2nd year of 2.5% pay increase that doesn’t keep up with cost of living, lack of the last 2% contribution to Fire 457 plan that was promised last year. @EstherManheimer @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk @NCStateAFLCIO @WLOS_13 @asheville @mxnews

[Asheville Fire Fighters @AFFA332]

These budget proposals on top of retiree health benefits being stripped in 2012, and now a direct attack on #AVL workers’ and citizens’ due process. Very “worker-friendly”. @EstherManheimer @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk @NCStateAFLCIO @WLOS_13 @asheville @mxnews

[Asheville Fire Fighters @AFFA332]

If #AVL City Council wants to claim that they are “worker-friendly”, they should start with taking care of their workers, not stripping their protections without dialogue with those affected. @EstherManheimer @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk @NCStateAFLCIO @WLOS_13 @asheville @mxnews

[Asheville Fire Fighters @AFFA332]

We would be remiss though to not thank #AVL Vice Mayor @ashevillegcw, Councilwoman @Julievmayfield, and Councilman Vijay Kapoor for voting against this action last night. @EstherManheimer @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk @NCStateAFLCIO @WLOS_13 @asheville @mxnews

[Asheville Fire Fighters @AFFA332]

We will fight this attack on #AVL Civil Service as hard as we can. Locally, legislatively, however need be. This isn’t just about firefighters, this is about ALL city workers and their rights. @EstherManheimer @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk @NCStateAFLCIO @WLOS_13 @asheville @mxnews
