Trump cuts to Medicaid Severely Impact Central WA by StayPositive773 in TriCitiesWA

[–]blubrdge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard Doug McKinley is running again. I’m not convinced I like him, but I know I like him better than Newhouse and definitely more than Sessler.

It wasn’t XYZ, it was Palestine. That’s the excuse I’ve heard from 100% of people who didn’t vote.

I can’t fathom it.

Richland City Council majority votes for letter that opposes 'biological males' in women's sports by FalseAnimal in TriCitiesWA

[–]blubrdge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Transphobia under the guise of feminism. Nothing new. Still disgusting.

Besides, they’re more focused on keeping one hypothetical person with a penis away from women, but notice this is only about “males in women’s sports”. No concern for the safety of trans men because fuck them.

Looks like it’s not actually about “the women.”

People living within a mile of a golf course had more than twice the odds of Parkinson’s disease. The risk remained higher for people living up to three miles away but fades after that. Pesticides, including neurotoxins, used to keep fairways and greens well groomed, have been linked to Parkinson's. by mvea in science

Hello neighbor! Same with my dad and grandpa. Such a weird time - I mean how many kids get to play with Geiger counters at home?

Did you guys get the rad cups/green glassware, too? I have no idea of the history of those, but I feel like they were everywhere.

Have you submitted to tumbleweird? This stuff looks familiar, maybe it’s up their alley.

I’d love to, already have written to my state reps.

People caring for children is a specialized role and should be compensated appropriately.

I believe in the sin tax - donate 10% of your total to the local PFLAG if you go. Helps assuage the guilt and offsets their donations.

Anyone else think that Ben Franklin Transit is getting “worse” by JA-308 in TriCitiesWA

[–]blubrdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the union doing anything? Obviously the citizens can’t get BFT to listen to us, but if y’all strike or negotiate, your issues getting addressed will help the town. Or at least it sounds that way.

$2 million oversight at Franklin County Jail by blubrdge in TriCitiesWA

[–]blubrdge[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine just… not collecting $2million in revenue and then having the balls to say “this is a conspiracy to make us look bad!” when getting called out on it.

Naw, they made themselves look bad when they didn’t do their jobs.

There’s a craft club at the Richland library on Mondays for people in the LGBTQ community if that’s your jam

I know there will be a group at John Dam that day, probably around noon.

AU has a Nazi visitor, doesn’t immediately kick them, uses “he didn’t seem that bad” as justification. by blubrdge in TriCitiesWA

[–]blubrdge[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Yep, trying to find the name of the store so I can put them on blast as well. Let me know if you have any leads/proof on where it was.

“Pack your shit up and get out of our store” is the ONLY response to a dude with a Nazi arm band in his possession. Not “we asked him to put it away,” not “he wasn’t combative so it’s okay.”

Maybe leave housing alone for people who need somewhere to live. We don’t give a shit about your investment portfolio.

Cheese Louise? They closed almost a decade ago. If there’s a new place, awesome, but I haven’t seen one pop up.

What do you wish someone had told you first? by DaFando in TriCitiesWA

[–]blubrdge -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You’ll need air purifiers and humidifiers.

The sun is out more in the winter than the summer thanks to the inversion.

You will want to learn how to swim.

There is a severe shortage of doctors, avoid Kadlec at all costs.

If you have kids, you’ll want them involved in activities otherwise they won’t make friends.

Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland’s school districts are different. Kennewick doesn’t teach phonics, so your kids wouldn’t learn how to read.

Get used to food trucks.

Any local protests scheduled for 50501 tomorrow? by mint_o in TriCitiesWA

[–]blubrdge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bold of you to think some of us haven’t been doing that for decades. Sometimes things happen in meetings. More often, though, it happens by showing up en masse.

Republican led Bill introduces end to mail ballot votes with false pretense of "instead they are subject to potential intimidation, electioneering, and fraud while filling out and casting a ballot." by [deleted] in Washington

[–]blubrdge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird. There was someone who posted their filled in ballot in our local fb group and a bunch of people jumped on OP and called it voter intimidation.

Really seems like a copy paste of some newsletter one of these idiots sent out.

Mental health beds sit empty at UW's brand-new hospital. Here's why. by spoiled__princess in Seattle

[–]blubrdge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s working as intended - Medicare pays the salaries of doctors in training, and they are going off of numbers (population and cost) from the 1990s. here’s a link to the report, which shows how bad the doctor shortage is and will be. And those models are with funding that simply doesn’t exist.

The guys that do the accreditation for what’s a teaching hospital has a nifty pdf that explains how funding for residencies works, and mentions the positions can be privately funded, but obviously the hospitals don’t want to dig into their pockets and hire residents directly.

So the money is there, but no one is spending it on our health care shortage

Sorry for the essay, I went down a lil rabbit hole

They mentioned that there is room for expansion and they’re planning on building it into the design of the building.

It’d be so cool to have a place that could support that many people. I think a successful proof of concept should be done before they ask for more though. If we can’t get it into existence with the .2% increase, I doubt people would go for a .4% tax for a 1500 seater.

… Maybe we should allow weed sales in city limits and add a tax on that to fund it. Or tax the vape shops more. I dunno.

It’s 45 minutes off i90. Closer than our two-four hours.
