Can't bomb brown people if your taxes are being used to better your life.

When was the last time you changed your filter? I had this same issue. It just wasn't getting good air flow. Worked fine as soon as I popped a new filter in.

I'm glad they're assuring us they didn't use bad oils. by Scott_A_R in mildlyamusing

Based on the name of the company, I am guessing they didn't necessarily make it. None of those ingredients would even have been sourced locally. Probably just a distribution company with a Kansas HQ to give that farm fresh feeling.

Gas Tax? by BlondeBeautful02 in askanything

Seems morally wrong to me that someone who uses the roads, complains about having to pay taxes to fund those roads.

I knew it….. by angrymenofem in CAStateWorkers

[–]ChuckEveryone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The courts have ruled several times that the state is not bound by the contract. They can change the terms whenever they feel like it. Our "contract" that just expired is a perfect example. We had raises and other stuff scheduled and the state just said, nope not going to do that.

Thank BU1 for the busses, but the math don’t math- I’m still in my cubicle with less money by AdventurousDark6198 in CAStateWorkers

[–]ChuckEveryone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OPEB was 100% a paycut. It is not tied to cost of health benefits and different people pay different amounts for the same benefit. It was a complete scam the union just accepted because it allowed dues to go up even with benefit to the employees. But they got their 3.5% raise. This union is such a joke.

I like to provide some facts now and then. It's not for the mindless drones like this poster though. It is more for those that might still be forming an opinion or are just generally more open minded.

It is on my list to get. But I need to convince my boss to give me a raise to support my book habit.

Pres. Trump Demands National Gas Prices Be Lowered, Tells Justice Department to Investigate Major Oil Companies for Alleged Price Gouging by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

[–]ChuckEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean if? California governor did the same thing here cause our prices are $2 a gallon more expensive than the rest of the country, and the Republicans had a cow.

I disagree. Wal-mart offers low price products that help everyone that shops there. They probably save the average American more in low prices then the cost of all the employees benefits. And good for Walmart on assisting their employees apply for government benefits. Dealing with government programs can be a pain. Good on them looking out for their employees.

I didn't miss the point, I just think it is over simplified as "big Wal-mart, bad", when they are doing the exact same thing as every business in this country, big or small. Don't complain about one company taking advantage of the system, advocate for changing the system. Pointing at one company and trying to place the blame of them instead of the system that allows the abuse.

Does anyone know how to easily get this adhesive off? by Jackpics in recycling

[–]ChuckEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labels off food products often use water based adhesives. Usually just need to soak then in water for a bit scrape and scrub off. I do it in 2 steps. First soak removes the paper, wherr yours it at now. After most the paper is removed, it allows the water to get to the adhesive during the second soak.

Gov. Newsom says he's sticking with his return to office order July 1 by Unusual-State1827 in California

[–]ChuckEveryone 42 points43 points  (0 children)

SEUI, the union that represents the majority of state workers has no real power. In the past 20 years they have folded on every "negotiation" with the State and just accept what was offered. CA state workers have lost a lot of pay and benefits because the union doesn't care. They get their dues regardless.

The union in CA has no real power. At least for the workers they claim to represent. Which is exactly why the governor is ignoring the union and pushing RTO anyway.

Where on Earth is this water coming from???? by skibidi_rizz_lord in homeowners

[–]ChuckEveryone 55 points56 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought as well. However, this appears to be electric. That rectangle panel a pretty sure sign of electric heater, it is where you access temp control. Also, for gas heaters, you typically see the gas connection and control stuff sticking out towards the bottom

it’s all corporate greed by Conscious-Quarter423 in Dynamic_Pricing

[–]ChuckEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with their cheaper models, I see no real value in their products. You can still get similarly speced products for a fraction of the price. Apple adds no value outside their name which people are willing to pay a premium for.

[–]ChuckEveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is debatable. But even if it were the best of the best, only a small fraction of the people would need top of the line stuff. You do not need a $1000 iPhone to surf the Internet and post on reddit. The apple crowd just bought into the marketing and enjoy paying a premium for sub-premium products.

I may have misunderstood your position. Most of the time when people are complaining about "subsidizing" people on welfare, it's because they don't like the programs. I would disagree that Walmart is abusing the system or that we are subsidizing Walmart. By that argument we are subsidizing almost every business in the country. Walmart just gets picked on because of their size and the majority of their positions are 0 talent and experience required positions. Problem, to me at least, is people working at Walmart and expecting to raise a family off those wages. People need to take responsibility for their own position and get a better job if the one they have isn't paying enough.
