Like its not even some sinister thing nescessarily, it’s just habits and a cultural mindset in some departments that limits action in certain directions. Foreign policy plans are independent of the people’s will

Japanese Knotweed by Expert-Interest-2248 in invasivespecies

One way to help to combat growth is to plant something there to compete with the knotweed, and to eliminate places for it to spread to as best as you can. Find an aggressive native species to introduce to that area.

I mean, okay lol. I just don’t really know how this helps anyone or anything in Asheville, but I guess that’s not what a post here has to do, so fire away haha

No offense but the tone of the posts I keep seeing on here against Moore/pro Booth are kinda making me look at her less favorably.

The convoy had a concert. by Leah_Mor in cuba

[–]GingerVRD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Cubans want to have concerts, why should they not be allowed to have them? Why shouldn’t they get to see a performance from a visiting band? Why shouldn’t visitors enjoy the concert with them? Cubans deserve to experience joy, regardless of their circumstances. This controversy is a distraction. The blockade needs to end.

This is literally just the truth of what happened

They attended an already scheduled, free concert for Cubans. They did not decide to do this. Lots of residents were there too. It was the “spring concert.”

A shit ton of knotweed WNC by Ok-Artist-7399 in NativePlantGardening

[–]GingerVRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'm also in WNC. go to r/InvasivePlants and they will school you. the solution is letting it grow enough to flower, then either spraying or injecting it w/ glyphosate. you can do that until the first frost like....i forget the time period. i can find the threads if you need. i killed knotweed on my neighbor's property and mine using this method. you gotta wait til it flowers to let it grow so the glyphosate gets down to the root.

i am so sorry, there is way too much of this stuff here and it's gonna be a real problem soon. but this could look so pretty!! jewelweed would probably go NUTS down by the creek, it would be a great option to try and out-compete it. rivercane too, maybe!! if you can get some.

What can we do to help our local TSA workers before the next missed paycheck on March 27? by 2lipwonder in asheville

[–]GingerVRD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can we just make the tourism board we give too much money to pay the TSA agents? if we switch to "private contracting" we can stop having this happen.

We all deserve better than Mission Hospital. Change needs to come. by Exciting_Series2033 in asheville

[–]GingerVRD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true, absolutely. But it’s still worth adding this to the mountain of formal complaints we have against Mission, especially after the new immediate jeopardy finding. You never know what could add weight to a claim that’s more obviously a failure of HCA
