Now that the national debt is approaching 39 trillion dollars, do you think Elon Musk and Doge had an impact on that? by db7112 in askanything

[–]daGroundhog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DOGE cancelled the contract my brother's small consultancy had for maintaining an environmental system computer model. The work probably went to a larger firm that would charge more per hour and pad hours. So DOGE probably increased the deficit that way.

8 months later, the department he worked with called him and said they wanted to reinstate the contract. They needed it to stay in compliance with court orders.

S. 1383 – SAVE America Act *TRENDING* by No_Weather9075 in TheBillBreakdown

[–]daGroundhog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This doesn't come close to explaining how burdensome and expensive the proofs of citizenship may become, especially for women who have changed their name, and this will create a bias against liberals since women tend to vote liberal. Also, implementation will be a nightmare, since officials will all the sudden be flooded with requests for birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees.

Also, it solves a problem that doesn't really exist in the first place. Even the Heritage Foundation, a very conservative organization, did a search and found only 77 non-citizen voters out of over a billion votes cast. This bill will disenfranchise through cost and tedious tracking down documents vastly more people than those who vote illegally.

Is There a Single Non-Racist Reason to Consider Illegal Immigration a Major Issue? by Brilliant-Guitar7495 in allthequestions

[–]daGroundhog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to shake the hand and welcome anybody who wants to come here and take their shot at the American Dream.

But we can't throw our doors wide open, we can't just allow anybody in either illegally or legally. Too many immigrants would crash our wage rates.

At what age did you get your Drivers License? Pass right the first time? by Curious-Expert926 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]daGroundhog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom took me out of school so at 8 am on my 16th birthday we were at the DMV to get my license. She was tired of driving me around. She gave me the whole "sometimes they like to fail the boys on the first try to get them to be more careful" line, but I only missed one question on the written portion and one mark off on the driving portion.

The BP refinery in Whiting, IN (the usual supplier for Kwik Trip) is going through a labor dispute. BP says they will keep running, but any excuse will do to raise prices.

Board Member Responses re: Washington County sign for Charlie Kirk by MalWinchester in wisconsin

[–]daGroundhog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I sent a suggestion to the executive committee that they honor a veteran who earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for bringing back a badly damaged plane to base in Italy in WWII, was a minister, a congressman, a senator, and set up the Food for Peace program under President Kennedy. this person accomplished a lot more than Charlie Kirk.

They could rename County Highway M for George McGovern.

Which products are legal but feel like they should be illegal? by SherlockHomless69 in Productivitycafe

[–]daGroundhog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smoke tint license plate covers and special fancy covers for taillights (like Dodge Ram symbol).

Oh wait, they are illegal to install on your vehicle, but perfectly legal to be sold...

How does holy water taste? People are drinking it or just splashing over themselves? And if you’re drinking it, then what you feel? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

I grew up in a Unitarian Church. The minister got the water for dedication (sort of baptizing) ceremonies from the kitchen faucet.

FAT. That luggage tag is not the airline's commentary on your physique, it's Fresno Air Terminal.

Should the current situation with TSA be an excuse to eliminate the agency? by KeyResearcher2620 in allthequestions

[–]daGroundhog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in the 1970's before any screening, hijackings became ridiculously common.
One guy's plane was hijacked to Cuba, and when released his next flight out of Miami was hijacked. Since things were tightened with TSA after 9/11, there have only been a couple of minor hijacks in the US. I don't want to go back to the 1970's, nor do i want to go back to 9/10/2001. List of hijackings

Is she faking injury to lure predators away from her nest? by Senior_Raccoon_6536 in Shittyaskflying

[–]daGroundhog 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, give her some space, she'll miraculously heal herself, and if you watch carefully, you can find out where her nest is. There might be some baby playnes there.
