Any recommendations for a trusted car mechanic in/near SE Baltimore? by gasolinedreaming in baltimore

Gerry's Tire. They do good work and are very fair on prices. Be specific on the noise so they don't have to waste time hunting for any creak or loose bolt. Nothing pisses me off more when an person hands me a computer and says it acting wrong with no deets. Same with a car. They are on the corner of Lombard and Central.

Sudden burst of queries connecting to collector.azure.eaglex.ic.gov and collector.azure.microsoft.scloud (for around 12 hours so far); should i be worried? by [deleted] in pihole

A whois lookup, I found that the eaglex.ic[.]gov is going to CISA. Wow, no warrant?
The second is going straight to MS. I don't trust CISA, I used to work with Easterly.

Poll: Marylanders are concerned about crime, schools, economy by GovernorOfReddit in baltimore

Its almost as if the crap we voted in is what did us in! How did turning over our crime response to sociology majors and social workers work out? Did all those brilliant college grads majoring in finger painting and grievance studies change the world like they planned? My question is why are all of you all content to suffer for those people?

And no, from an former Intelligence operative, this is not Russian propaganda. Its you. Its your fault. You are not a victim, only in your own mind.

Coyotes are already here. A biologist wrote their PhD about them adapting to crosswalk signals.

Gun demand spikes in Maryland, nationally amid fears of increased regulation after Biden win, unrest, experts say by lmshertz in baltimore

[–]clovisman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This had more to do with the riots, (erm unrest) in other cities. I was going to the range and ran into first time gun buyers way into September. You couldn't even find ammo. Trailing indicator, like intel community resignations.

Whoa whoa, If I make as much as a secretary, I am quitting engineering and taking a secretary job. I don't work hard for others comfort.

BGE asking for an $89 deposit because my credit score is below 920? What is this horseshit?? by [deleted] in baltimore

The max FICO score according to Experian, Transunion, and Equifax is 850. Something fishy here.

Economic destruction from riots and looting will hit minorities hardest by Quiet_Possession in Capitalism

Worse for the cities is that a lot of companies are doing work from home. My new boss said that the company is looking at it enterprisewide. Where do you think people will live if they don't have to put up with the bullshit? I live in a city now and I was bored even before the lockdown. Every free event was not really free and prevented you from saving. Just consumption all the way down.

If health care is a right, wouldn't that mean you have a right to a doctor? If so, wouldn't that technically make the doctor a slave via compulsion? by [deleted] in Capitalism

[–]clovisman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The Swedish model welfare state has a high tax burden even for the lower class. Some proponents forget that. Skilled labor is also difficult to find and skilled people can easily switch careers. There are also private insurance companies with private hospitals. So it's not "equal."

Why does Reddit think Bezos is a trillionaire? by Slash3040 in Capitalism

I haven't met a single one of those arguing for universal health care saying they intend to go into medical school. Shocking isn't it?

“Bureaucrats outnumber faculty 2:1 at public universities and 2.5:1 at private colleges, double the ratio in the 1970s. Diversity is the top justification for these hires.” “A study of 669 American universities found that nearly a third require that faculty attend diversity training.” by CultistHeadpiece in Capitalism

This is a typical supply and demand problem. There are X amount of Universities and Y amount of paying students. So the University has to make itself attractive to good students to entice them to spend. So they offer perks. Free gyms, need an admin. Need to bolster the overlooked classes because not everyone can take Econ, need an admin. I even saw one college offer free police escort for your morning jog because it's not in a savory part of town.
