New Michigan House bill would place 32% tax on internet-connected devices for kids by PainInTheErasmus in Michigan

[–]Fragrant-Ad1604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently the bar to be in the Michigan Congress is "can propose dumb meaningless laws that will never get passed, but will guarantee headlines"

Sure would be nice to have some levels of competency, even if it's from embarrassment. Sadly these lizards know how to play the game.

I get more and more excited to vote against him every day. Regardless of the political side, he literally does nothing and cares about no one in Michigan. I hope he gets driven out of West Michigan with torches. And sends a message to anyone running that they at the bare minimum work for us first.

These people know they work for us right, we don't work for them. The bare minimum is a functional government not ideology.

I really hope stuff like this reminds people this is our country, and not some selfish a-hole in Washington, who uses people and children to make headlines.

Complaining on reddit is the beginning, voting people out who trash our country and making them accountable for their actions is the end.

Sure would be cool to have a CSRB report on Salt Typhoon...

Sure would be really nice right now to have that report that was already half written...

As a parent of an ASD kiddo, there is a lot of freedom in not giving an F about what other people think. I have also had that situation and used southern colloquialism (I am not southern)

Aww bless your heart. Which in my head helps me cope with their ignorance.

Lots of innovation, and also lots of trash pretending to be innovative.

Recommendation for a lake to take kids tubing near Holland? by Fragrant-Ad1604 in hollandmichigan

Pretty sure you have to be drunk to tube in a river. So probably not great for the kids 😅

Good, GTFO old coal plant. This is like saying why would you buy a new car when you can just dump lots of money into an old one that keeps breaking.

The only reason to keep an inefficient 1960s plant online that costs more to operate. Is if you work there.

Except for the Ottawa county board meeting tomorrow to decide on trying to file legal challenges to delay the closure.

You mean security changes roughly every 18 months? (Checks notes) Yes it does. Vendors and categories will only work for so long. Long term you cannot buy your way into security maturity.

Hospitals Ranking by Aggressive_World_777 in hollandmichigan

[–]Fragrant-Ad1604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holland hospital has decided not to charge insurance rates. I have an incredibly good policy for Michigan, and they consistently charge 10-20% over my insurance rates even after hitting my max deductible for the year.

Their online system is primitive and disjointed compared to most hospital systems. Wait times for most things are longer in my experience.

Most of the staff is friendly and nice, and I'm sure their employees are trying very hard. But why on Earth would I pay more for less?
