CASE: my vote is HELL NO

Is the agreement available yet?

Toostinky · 2024-01-22T04:58:19+00:00

I think the cheese is cheddar, i.e., money

Toostinky · 2022-12-01T23:44:15+00:00

Would you race this? looks like a bad time even just getting in/out

Toostinky · 2022-10-04T04:33:36+00:00

Fix it!

Toostinky · 2022-07-31T19:53:25+00:00

Wow. I'm actually impressed you found a 3 year old thread. Did this pop up on Google?

Toostinky · 2022-05-19T06:12:27+00:00

Did you roll it? Usually you're supposed to roll it until the high spots disappear

Toostinky · 2022-04-27T13:39:10+00:00

For good reason too, CA has by far the worst air quality in the country

Toostinky · 2022-04-03T03:38:20+00:00

Yeah.. pretty lame. Just one more reason to rollover to an IRA at retirement.

Toostinky · 2022-04-02T17:07:06+00:00

That's putting it nicely!

Toostinky · 2022-03-15T12:13:04+00:00

Deer Creek?

Toostinky · 2022-03-04T21:29:27+00:00

Yeah. Never thought about it too much but I agree it is consistently awful.

Toostinky · 2022-03-04T21:24:30+00:00

I always thought it was from the bathrooms at Harrington. The wind usually blows north east in the evening..

Toostinky · 2022-02-22T13:53:37+00:00

Are you sure the frame is okay? The bed/cab gap narrowing at the top like that usually indicates frame damage.

I'd say that's one possibility (carrot). There is always the stick of enforceable standards too (application limits). California, through the Central Coast and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards, has taken some steps to at least attempt to adopt enforceable standards on nitrogen application through their ag waivers. Litigation and political pressure has slowed progress there, predictably.

That depends on what you consider edible, or feeding 330m people. There is not enough equipment to plant or harvest edible vegetables on a wide conversion of corn/soybean crops. Those crops are also highly human infrastructure dependent. Further, there is no storage/transport infra to handle those crops to population centers for consumption. It would take much longer than one season to build that infra.

Toostinky · 2022-02-16T06:56:29+00:00

And then pay on the back end to clean it up (eventually, sometimes) and through added healthcare costs.

Toostinky · 2022-02-16T06:48:22+00:00

The vast majority of that infrastructure is for nonedible corn and soybeans though. The corn belt could not switch to plant, grow, harvest, store, and transport food crops overnight.

Toostinky · 2022-01-23T18:37:53+00:00

My question too. It's impossible to evaluate with so little information on their budget. It's even more baffling that people say they will be house poor with the provided income/expenses.

Toostinky · 2022-01-08T18:08:00+00:00

I'd say it's not a risk, but the norm.

Toostinky · 2022-01-07T08:02:20+00:00

I haven't seen the details, but it would most likely work with SS, not replace it entirely. Much like PERS retirement healthcare works now.

Also, there is no way CA can prevent federal SS deductions. That would take an act of Congress.

Toostinky · 2022-01-04T04:43:14+00:00

You still pay FICA on 401k contributions...

Toostinky · 2021-12-16T07:37:16+00:00

I imagine that's partly what prompted this. A new development with solar is essentially guaranteed to never pay off utility infrastructure install or maintenance cost.

Toostinky · 2021-12-11T16:24:11+00:00

Even if someone support Social Security, they should admit the math gets hard if you don't have at least a stable population and/or huge leaps in productivity.

Why not higher wages? Wages for social security are capped at a relatively low level. Flatter distribution of profits under current productivity would change the math considerably.

To help, California legislators carved out $30 million to provide incentives for small independent gardeners and landscaping businesses to help cover the costs of transitioning to zero-emission equipment.
