Things that annoy me (2 Viewers)

I live in a condominium complex, 68 townhouse condos laid out in blocks of 4, we're in a middle unit, about 3,000 square feet.

We have two large dumpsters and about a dozen recycle barrels, they are labeled 6 plastic, 6 cardboard, it's clear, as in crystal, that you are NOT to throw furniture and other large items in the dumpster, just bags of trash and smallish household items.

But that does not stop some moron from trying to jam a couch, fridge or grand piano in there, we've got a guy who comes here and picks up large items for short money, but again, it amazes me what morons here attempt to stuff into the dumpsters.

They installed cameras down there and anytime there is a huge item in the dumpster, they review the tape and nail the imbecile with a 100.00 fine, then they drop the item off on their doorstep for them to properly dispose of it.

Getting rid of an old mattress is almost impossible. Some guy I know had the bright idea to burn his. He said it went up in flames like the end of times. He vowed to never smoke in bed after that experience. They had the bright idea a few years ago here in PA to designate a day of the year when you could put anything out for pickup. You would pass homes with mountains of old furniture and stuff piled up on the lawns. It would sit there for weeks because the trucks didn't have enough room to pick it all up from neighborhoods. What a sight after a few weeks sitting in the elements.
 
On top of everything else going on, they are now warning of widespread power outages across the country this summer. Unreal that we can spend enormous amounts of money but can't keep the power on or have water in California.
 
Electric vehicle mandates. California Gov has proposed a ruling by the Clean Air Board that will ban gas powered vehicle sales by 2035. Other states, such as New Mexico, are moving in that direction. This is governance by imperial edict as there isn't any accompanying legislation. A few yrs ago I drove 1,700 miles in two days coming home from a vacation. It would take me 3-5 days longer if I had to stop to recharge a battery. BTW, I believe the UK has passed a similar ruling/law. Chris
 
California is a disaster with their green projects.Nothing wrong with going green but the technology is not there yet and your average American can't afford it.Europe is trying to go green and look,they are at the mercy of the Russians.

I was reading this article by a man who traveled 1000 miles in a electric car and to charge a car with a level 3 charger for 235 miles took 49 minutes. Who has time for that. If everybody had electric cars can you imagine how long the lines would be waiting to get to a charger.

Regarding the electric vehicle mandates; as my pops used to say, "Follow the money", there is an agenda here and it's all about money/who stands to profit by ramming electric cars down everyones throat.

If I want to buy one, it should be an option, not a directive.

IPhones are great, but I know a lot of people who have flip phones; IPhones are an option, not a mandate.

Seems like every car commercial these days is about electric cars, stop throwing it in front of my face.

Cross off California as a landing spot for me when I retire and move out of Taxachusetts.

Well at my age, I do stop every 3 1/2 hours.............but it does not take me 45 minutes to do what has to be done.

With an electric van, it would take me a month and a half to get to the Chicago show.....................another reason not to attend.
 
If you notice most of the people supporting this are very well to do.

Even if you do Mike, are there charging stations at the restaurants? Especially where I was in Wyoming?

Stayed at a hotel in Oregon that had two stations. Very nice for the first two cars each night. But what happened to the third electric car that checked in?

honestly...Chris...I drive a gasoline fueled car and don't eat every 3 1/2 hours either...that was intended to be a joke...the only reason I ever stop on the highway is for a bathroom break or more fuel...otherwise I just grind it out...

Mike, sorry for my disgruntled reply. Things like (the mandates) this wear out my sense of humor. Best regards. Chris
 
Fake or overblown news stories contrived to garner attention. Like a recent story about a young woman thrown out of Disney for being inappropriately dressed. Turns out she is an Internet "influencer" and made a big deal about it to get in the press. This was the best day of her life. I read these stories though!

OK, I have to ask. What in the Flying Monkees of OZ is an influencer? Is that just another code name for loser? And what do they influence? :rolleyes2: -- Al

These are narcissistic people who believe they are so beautiful and interesting that others can't help but buy products because they promote them on social media. Like a celebrity endorsement but made by a person without the fame or talent. It is just another sign that our society is in decline.

Thanks. Seeing that it was internet related, I suspected as much. That is sad. -- Al
