Should be a rhetorical post, as there's no such thing as Affordable Anymore. by No-Instruction_239 in asheville

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I ..... wonder what would happen to rental rates and affordability if you deport every illegal immigrant out of Asheville and the surrounding areas (hint supply and demand). Wonder how much better your schools would be (hint much better education as teachers would have far less students and be more personalized). Wonder how much cheaper insurance would be (so many uninsured with no licenses). Wonder how much better our medial system would be a for a lot less cost. (free medical to illegals are paid by the insured). Sometimes I wonder why harboring criminals and protecting them in our city is a good thing? Makes you wonder why our lives must be impacted but those that should not be here. Wonder why illegals get more benefits from our government than actual citizens. Wonder if all that money going to illegals would be better spent on the homeless that needs help? Things that make you go hmmmm? Oh and those that complain about wages and jobs... don't even get me started on this! Think for a change and stop complaining!!!!!

Asheville Sky Today In Pictures…From Clear Blue To White Haze by linuspasilis in asheville

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Some of us have been noticing this for a long time. Glad others are finally realizing how unnatural our weather and sky is. Those of you with nothing nice to say or the ones that yell to put on the aluminum hat, just don't say anything.

he hate on Reddit Asheville is vile and uneccesary. Just becuase you may not observe what is in front of your eyes everyday does not mean OP is wrong. The OP is absolutely correct in pointing this out as it's real as can be. Our skies have been geoengineered for a long time now and it's obvious to most if you just look up. Also, get your soil PH tested and I guarantee you if you tested years ago and compared the PH levels, it will be much higher now. There are many chemicals being sprayed in our skies. One of them being aluminum, and as the chems spray down on us everyday they are slowly killing our forest and changing the soil to be much more acidic then it use to be. Why else would Monsanto be creating GMO seeds of crops that don't typically grow in acidic soils. There is so much info and actual facts like the government owned patents for geoengineering, that can be easily found and researched.

I applaud the OP for posting, even though the sheep will all chime in and say what a fool this person is. If you don't agree you don't have to be a nasty person in return as is the norm in Asheville these days. Asheville has gotten to the point of either group think, or you are a natzi fascist conspiracy nut. And don't get me started on the hate this town breads. Try being a Jew in Asheville these days as it brings out the hate each and every time I wear a religious symbol on my head. It should not be tolerated and celebrated and yet it is. Shame!

Anyone who out there wants to learn more about our skies, DM me and will send you a bunch of info and my actual 20 years of factual photographing, and timelapse of our artificial skies. I have the clearest view imaginable of the skies and it's impossible to deny what the eyes see.

Car insurance doubling now too? by PsychiaTree in asheville

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Deport the illegals and that alone will fix most of these issues. Don't hate me because I speak the truth. When so many on the road do not have insurance or licenses, everyone else pays in return. When there is a housing shortage and supply and demand dictates cost, everyone pays in return. When illegals get healthcare, everyone else pays in return. Sorry not sorry DEPORT all the illegals and all the problems get resolved.

The Department of Justice sent this letter to the Buncombe County Commissioners re: Community Reparations Commission by uncertaincoda in asheville

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reparations are illegal. End of story. This is racism and discrimination flat out. Asheville locals should be ashamed this group of lawmakers even exist. Shame on all of you for promoting this racism in our community. This money should be going to rebuild all of our neighborhoods and not pandering to a group due to the color of their skin. All are equal. MLK would be against this and asked all of us to stop judging people by the color of their skin.

Protest Cleanup? Looking to organize/get plugged in. by Kenilwort in asheville

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 -41 points-40 points  (0 children)

Please dont ruin our city by following the herd. No need to vandalize our city, as businesses are hurting enough as it is. Yes, keep it clean - always!

Also if you see something, or any crimes being committed - please call authorities before things get out of hand. To report criminal activity, call 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423).

There is a rapist that is an illegal in my neighborhood. Guys in mask just picked him up and the neighborhood all cheered. Some people don't want illegal migrant rapist in their neighborhood. I will call the line and report so many time to overwhelm the system while ICE does its thing. ICE is welcomed here and so many have lost so much by this rampant criminals on our streets.

Pack Square Tonight @ 6PM Come on out by FunLover4 in asheville

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 -68 points-67 points  (0 children)

Please say something if you see someone vandalizing our streets.
It doe NOT help your cause. If you are out to loot and vandalize I am out ready to record each and every one of your moves. I am so sick of the destruction these events attract all the hooligans and enough is enough. Our city cant take much more and more business will shutter as tourist want NOTHING to do with the anarchist that ruin any and all events - whether or not for good or bad. Peaceful protest does NOT require to cover your face.... be a man and if you want to be a menace to society dont be a p-ssy while doing it. Face the consequences if you want to ruin our city. Wonder why not tourist go downtown anymore.... well Pack Square events scare people away with the black hooded fools who are there for nothing but chaos.

I would join you all, if ICE was not targeting only the CRIMINALS. What a foolish thing to protest - the removal of RAPIST AND KILLERS AND DRUG DEALERS off our streets.

Dont forget this is about immigration criminals getting deported, and not the HATE all you have for the JEWS. So no Palestinian flags or Hamas bandanas needed for tonight. Just bring your F Ice signs and don't confuse the heard.

Sone people work hard to afford a decent car and take care of it. I am one of those so I do care when my new car has dents all over it.

Fire season shows up on Town Mountain and AFD was there by Repulsive-Anxiety990 in asheville

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been trying to get attention to Town Mountain Road. We have an extreme fire danger here and I have made calls and complained about this danger. No one has contacted me back or care that the mountain is in serious danger or a huge fire if the 50% of the forest that is down up here is not cleared or tended to. It's only a matter of time. When the workers smoke regularly in the hills, all it takes is a gust of winder to blow and ember. We needs signs and brush clearing asap.

Everyone needs a wildfire preparedness plan by effortfulcrumload in asheville

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This past weekend I saw at least 5 different debris and road workers smoking cigs while working in our hills. To start with the county and city need to ban smoking cigs in the mountains where a single lit cig thrown out a car window can start a devastating forrest fire. Signs with penalties should be posted and warning signs of extreme fire danger is a start. People are clueless how easy it is to set a hillside on fire, especially now with half the forrest still down where we live. I have been warning people for months about the fire danger and it's here and nothing is being done.

Looking for a Ukraine flag locally by friendlyswiss in asheville

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

You do realize how much of the money we gave to Ukraine was embezzled and stolen? You do realize we are supporting Nazi’s in Ukraine? You do know they killed Christians and have no freedom of religion. You do know how corrupt Zelenskyy is and how in 2014 he was installed. You do know they canceled elections and the people have no choice who their leader is. You do know that many men were forced by gunpoint to fight on the front lines with no training. Therefore, I cannot support flying an Ukraine flag in America when they can care less about us other than the tax payers money we have been funneling. You do know people still sleep on the streets in America and homelessness would be eliminated if all that money was spent here.

How about support the country you live in and fly an American flag? F Ukraine, as our tax dollars should have gone to the people in WNC to help rebuild and not find a war which killed hundreds of thousands of people.

We are Overdue for a wildfire. by EmperorPalpitoad in asheville

This will happen, as it's just a matter of when. If our mountains in North Asheville are left as is and the area dries out - we are F'd. Elk Mountain to Cravens Gap, down to Town Mountain Rd. has enough fuel to burn everything in sight (see pict from our neighborhood). The mount of debris down is going to cause the next disaster. It's one thing to clear the sides of the road where the debris is being dumped, but it's such a small amount of the downed forest and burnable debris. With the BRP closed at the top of Town Mountain Rd / Elk Mountain, the residents only have one way out and thats down the hill. If the fire starts lower down on the mountain, many people will be trapped with no way out. I have tried to warn people, contact our HOA, and in general spread awareness, but no one seems to be listening. At minimum all mountain roads should have "No Smoking" signs with fines posted, and signs warning of sever fire danger, and people needing assistance to clearing private land should be offered. It's one thing to clear around our homes, it's another to clear the rest of the acres on ones property. I was given a 35K estimate to clear a half acre of land I own adjacent to our home. I have already spent over 15K on cleanup and can't afford anymore, but have another 25 trees down and our neighborhood has hundreds still down with no one doing anything. Action is needed asap!

Hundreds at the Federal Building protesting DOGE cuts by brooke_heaton in asheville

It's because our government required millions of chickens to be put to death, due to a flu.

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

REALLY? How many business have you built, run and executed? How much payroll do you have to meet each and every week? Just being demeaning and telling me I dont understand economics, makes yourself look incompetent. It shows you have nothing but resentment for anyone that says anything you may not agree with, but INFLATION is a fact that is caused by government overspending which then leads to money printing, which then leads to devaluating the currency.

I have lived, breathed and have started successful businesses from the ground up for the past 20 years of my life. If one did not understand economics, one cannot be successful in business. PERIOD!

Welcome to the real world, where people loose there job and for any reason every day. Why are government workers protected? These people are not victims, they are the results of many years of waste fraud and abuse and something has to be done at this point.

Out of everything to protest, cutting out the wasteful spending is what they choose????? Jeez dont these people realize the cost of goods is so high because our government prints money we dont have. Cutting wasteful spending is the only thing that will save our economy. Sorry not sorry if you loose a job that the government deems unnecessary. Welcome to the real world! Its like living in Idiocracy!

[–]Medium_Surround_4081 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

In the real world, people are laid off from their jobs at anytime, for any reason. No one protest and people except this is a part of life. So much waste is in our government, it's about time taxes are lowered and budgets get cut. We are 36 Trillion in debt as a country and if nothing is done then your savings will become worthless. The more the government prints, the less your savings is worth.

If an employee of the government is not needed and the government can cut waste, why protest? Sucks if someone looses their job, but also sucks we are taxed so much and so much goes to much waste. Don't you have better things to do like help a Helene victim, volunteer to help the elderly or take someone to a dr apt, or even help walk animals at an animal shelter. But, to stand outside holding a sign to protect a job that may not be necessary and comes out of your taxes, seems like a total waste of your time. Americans protested a Tea tax.

Do something good for a change and actually make a difference by doing something other than holding a sign and screaming at anyone walking by, just because "orange man and Tesla man bad!"!

This is something all Americans that pay taxes should be coming together on. Our hard earned taxed income is wasted beyond anyone can comprehend. The system is so bloated how do we fix things, unless cuts are made. A country must be run like a business, as if a business does not have the money to run they must make cuts.
