@JossSheldon Just show me where it’s worked before.

"Left-wingers want high taxes" Err, no... Left-wingers want to tax the rich. They want to redistribute that wealth to the masses, and invest in public services, to improve the lives of regular folk. Right-wingers want to tax the poor. They want to give your money to the rich.

We need rain. But can it hold off till I’m done with the rental?

@bprintco You got some good people. Didn’t want to disappoint you

Ever heard the expression “shit rolls downhill”? Well we hit the bottom of the hill this week. Jobs were stacked way too tight on the schedule. Our operators were running 7 days a week, not finishing a job, and moving on to the next one with plans to return. Their hours were getting out of control too. Hitting 75 hours per week each. A surefire way to reach burnout. They’d be rushed to get to the next job, set a task to return to the last one, and move all the equipment over to the new one. This meant cash flow came to a screeching halt while expenses shot to the moon. Returning to a job to finish means a minimum of $500 in costs just to bring the equipment there and back. An unnecessary expense had we just took the time to finish properly in the first place. I’ve been nose deep in marketing and sales while this was happening and trusted that the production process was working. It wasn’t. They finally reached out and asked for help... at 8pm. We had 4 jobs set to start the next day and one of the trailers broke an axle. Rescheduling over 50 jobs is no easy task, and one they were all avoiding that created the problem in the first place. It’s difficult to tuck your tail between your legs and let a customer know their job needs to be pushed back up to 30 days. So I set into triage mode. Called each customer personally that was set to start the next day and let them know what was going on and what we needed to do. I then laid out every job on the schedule and set about not only fixing the current problem, but making sure it didn’t happen in the future. I wiped the jobs off the rest of the week so the team could go finish the jobs we left open ended and finish them properly. I then cleared every job off Fridays and weekends. This prevents burnout, overtime, and gives us 3 days a week to absorb rainouts, equipment issues, and job delays. This pushed the schedule 2 months further out, so I had to do the part everyone dreaded. Alerting the customers of their new start date. I reached out individually to each one to let them know. Fortunately, our customers are incredible and were very understanding. Nobody cancelled their job. Our operators have room to breathe, our quality can stay top notch, our cash flow returns, and the bandaid is ripped off. Now let’s get to work damnit!

Step One: go to Waffle House Step Two: look over the list of additions. Choose some. IMPORTANT: do NOT get it "all the way". Even the Waffle House waitress will warn you against that.

@OKWildlifeDept It’s just a matter of timing. 50k years ago it was probably better and might be again. Don’t be a downer

I have really bad news for you about your saltwater fishing opportunities in Oklahoma ...

@GunnelsWarren It worked last time?

Elon Musk, the richest man alive worth $800 billion, owns 53% of the pie. The top 1% own 93% of the pie. Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. Bake 10 more pies and the 1% will steal 9 of them. 4 words: Tax the damn rich.

@texasrichie47 @Tylergroce Yes please.

@Tylergroce See them all the time going down to Laredo. Only truck I want out of MX is the Hilux

Spotted in Laredo Tx. We’ve got a problem.

@BjorkBrodern Yup. It’s a 20-30 year post. Except no one is sloping the concrete and half were poured dry so results vary.

I keep seeing American DIY instructions where they pour a concrete foundation for *anything* and then place wooden posts in them, Im starting to think it is bait or some typ of elaborate hoax. Surely it can't be an actual construction technique?

@BattleByrd Meh. Layer of concrete board and some tile and no one knows.

Bring in the laminate planks cause we ready! Easy money...

@FacultyLeaks Right, cause changing some details doesn’t muddy the waters when facts start coming out. Surely they won’t form 1000 conspiracies that dilute the crimes and confuse the events.

@FacultyLeaks Why anonymous? Why unnamed? The same corporation that convinced you that the degree you bought was needed has now got you too scared to tell the details that would help destabilize that corporation? Coward

New anonymous account. I'm a tenured professor and department chair at a university that shall remain unnamed. I write about what doesn't make it into the Chronicle or the faculty senate minutes: — Travel reimbursement abuse — Rigged hiring searches — Unions weaponized against accountability — The protection of mediocrity — The slow credentialing of incompetence — That time we hired a terrorist Also the sex stuff. There's always sex stuff. Some identifying details have been changed. The dysfunction has not. FacultyLeaks.com

@KeithInTheNight @WorkElizab @ThatKevinSmith 37?

@KeithInTheNight @WorkElizab @ThatKevinSmith Was so good didn’t even realize it was black and white

🤔🤔

@WorkElizab Clerks

@chillywillers I could be an outside slave for a month. Especially if it’s a government job. Be a nice vacation.

Would you trade your tax obligations for a month of actual slavery each year? No? Then it’s not the same.

@martianwyrdlord I can’t conceive it to be possible so therefore it is not possible.

We're not going to cross the Atlantic ocean. 1. No one has any idea how far away the nearest land is. It could be thousands of miles! 2. Surely we can just build faster caravels? The problem is that wind can only push you so fast. 3. There are no landmarks out on the ocean. Sure you can use the stars to determine your latitude, but with no way of knowing your longitude you'll just get hopelessly lost. 4. The storms are ferociously powerful. The waves are huge. Ships would sink long before they reached the other side of the ocean. 5. There's no fresh water. You'd need to carry it all with you, along with all your food. The more stores you carry, the less capable wind is of propelling you, and the slower you go. There's no way you'd be able to carry enough to avoid death by thirst or starvation long before you reached land. The Sail Equation prevents it.

@TXHappens Perfect.

Y'all lets tell all our dear California friends this great advice 🤣🤣🤣 #texas #california #wearefull

@HistoryBoomer Why stop there? Let’s do it worldwide. When’s my $75 check coming?

The US has 989 billionaires with a net worth of at least 5.7 trillion dollars hording our resources. If we distributed that $$$ equitably, regular Americans could leave their jobs and explore lives of creativity and self-growth, with food, clothing, and shelter provided for free.

@RichOToole I been around the world from El Paso to Orange and I think San Antonio is best. Houston would be best but when the steam comes up from the sidewalk I hate this city.

1. Houston 2. Fort Worth 3. El Paso 4. San Antonio 5. Dallas

@DisrespectedThe I’m trying to quit. I’d rather be able to buy 4 instead of 20. Sounds dumb

The days of "bumming" a cigarette off of someone are over. Each cigarette nearly cost a dollar. Ridiculous.
