I am again living in San Antonio. City codes state that we use three different color trash containers. Trash, Recycling, and Organic. (Which we do not have inside our home.)
We have garbage nazis who drive around just to look to see if the right disposal is in the right color can. They gave me a warning. Next time, I will be fined. |

This reference to "garbage nazis" looks like whining to me. As if cliffw would rather not be subject to these city codes... which suggests that cliffw would like to see these city code laws changed, irrespective of whether he deems it worth his time and energy to get involved with trying to have these laws changed. So I have to second what fredtoast said, where he's been quoted here by cliffw. There's no distance between myself and fredtoast on this particular nuance of the discussion.
As I said before: "Patriotism is the last refuge refuse of scoundrels."

That is a cool ... talent. I have never tried to do that. They are the same, I imagine, as a automobile starter, alternator, and other motors. Which people pay that type of specialty business to do. I know all (I think) such things have stator, windings, brushings, perhaps more.

There you go again. Thinking. Looks like to you ?
Think what you want, believe what you think. You are never wrong.
Time and energy to get these laws changed ? Again, as I told your cohort fredtoast, why would I want the law changed ? I made a mistake in knowing the new (to me) system. Fact is, I can throw any trash in the general trash container.

Makes me wonder why you are so proud of living by those rules.

No he doesn't. Our government stops him from forming monopolies, price fixing, paying less than minimum wage, charging usurious interest rates, etc, etc. Government also control whgat percentage he pays in taxes. That is the best way to cure wealth inequality problems.
I am not saying everyone gets equal share. I am just saying that the middle and lower classes get a more reasonable share. Right now the system is rigged against them, so their share keeps getting smaller and smaller.

You just respond when the whistle blows.
Good boy, you have been well. You have no clue what you are talking about, but you know what answer makes your overlords happy.[This message has been edited by fredtoast (edited 09-27-2023).]

Au contraire fraudulent toasted one. You are actually quite easy to understand.
Just in this past week you have pimped for:
More gun laws
Bestiality
Marxism
....just to name a few...
Over the years your type has come and gone from here with regularity, each time burning furiously but briefly and never offering anything new but each one of you full of self-certainty and arrogance that you are deigning to lecture the poor, knuckle dragging, benighted, conservatives with your "magnificent knowledge and wisdom".
In short; You ain't nothin' new little fella.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 09-27-2023).]

Deutsche Bank privately suspected that Trump was a money-laundering operation for Russia/Putin
….but Deutsche Bank employee Justin Kennedy (son of Justice Anthony Kennedy)
arranged loans for Trump, regardless his own Bank’s concerns.

@Mikel_Jollett
Your daily reminder that all of this ends with the revelation
that Trump has been laundering money for the Russian mafia/putin
the new guy did NOT cause the rump to be exposed as a fraud
nor did he allow the mob to con-troll russia
I ask again how much did the rump grift from you randye
and when will you abandon the rump for criminal actions lying or fraud or rape
