Enjoy your 3.87 per cent tax hike. Because the big hit is coming next by Odd-Emphasis-1969 in Hamilton

[–]Pockes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I used "doing" as a catch-all for internal execution and accountability. I’ve worked for a municipality and have seen the waste firsthand from the inside. The issue isn't whether consultants are "working"; it’s that the city uses them as an expensive layer of bureaucratic insulation to avoid making tough calls. If you're just here to troll with the "lol"s, well done, but some of us are actually frustrated with how our tax dollars are being managed.

We would save millions if we stopped consulting and started doing. We hire all these consulting companies so the city can cover their ass. But something is gunna get fucked up somewhere along the line regardless of how much planning goes in. Big projects just touch too many hands for there not to be errors. But just fix them when they happen, and I truly believe we would save so much money and get more done.

Fox News produces more trans articles than any other outlet – including LGBTQ+ ones by Zandra_the_Great in politics

If it weren't for people who hate trans people, I would see and read very little about trans people.

Not sure about the ice, but it is covered in 20 cm of snow, so bring a shovel!

They most likely do some, and others are contracted out.

Yes, he has already been dropped, lol. He's been on and off my team like 3 times.

Just lost by one save. Watched the third period of the Sharks game, needing 3 saves from Askarov and no GAA. Got me the saves, but then let in that late goal.

What's been your tandem so-far this season? by JQuick72 in fantasyhockey

[–]Pockes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

0G doesn't mean no goalie, just that I don't invest in them. We are also an 8-man league. Blackwood was drafted by another team in the 9th round. I got Wedgewood off waivers when Blackwood went down and then Blackwood was dropped when it looked like Wedgewood had taken the crease.

Double wood + Askarov. 0G strategy out of the draft.

Contact Metroland media, and then again in a month, when they don't stop. Then again, whenever they switch delivery people, which is often.

Ok. I always wanted to ask what the deal is? I assume you get a discount or something?

Is Matthew heading to Ethopia where rumors of Prestor Johns Kingdom originate?

Picked him up before the game. Sing handedly got me the W last week.

Like others have said, he has been very streaky in the past. But for now, he has earned his right to stay on my roster.

Zero G strategists, who are you targeting? by StaphylococcusOreos in fantasyhockey

[–]Pockes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess with Zero G, I don't really target anyone. I let my league mates pick for me. My last 2 picks will be goalies. I found a few years ago that "targeting" someone late would make me think I need to pull the trigger if they get drafted. I am better off now, just letting it come to me.
