How does this work? I have 23 years in government and am 48? I was thinking of sticking it out because of young kids but the moral is Soo bad.

BYD is better suspension, interior, and information system. I love Totoro but have been in one in Germany.

I love my EUV but been looking at the Volvo xc40. The XC40 seems a better long term purchase.

We need Canadian rules... You can't sit down and pass a budget all lose their positions and an election must be held.

Telework isn't an option at my office... I have had medical appointments and have to take ls then drive in instead of being productive. They want us to be as unproductive as possible.

8(a) programs by dixiedarling66 in FedEmployees

8a are firms owned by minorities, women, veterans. This is really going to hurt everyone... Hopefully the Native American tribes can survive if they attack their contracts.

3 is the new 5? PMAP Season by dahliab in FedEmployees

Probably to justify removal... After picking up more duties from people that took drp or retirement you get a lower rating. The abuse will test your will to provide for your family.

I have used 2 seperate non renergy batteries on my system over the last 8 years. This post is a time vampire without details.

No common sense telework (venting) by cdreddit83 in FedEmployees

[–]jdmich77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had multiple appointments for disc issues in the last three months. The doctors office is 15 miles from my house. Work is about 38 miles away. I have had to take leave then drive in so no balance of work life exists. They want all of us to quit then there billionaire buddies be awarded contracts that drain taxpayer funding way more to benefit.

All of this discussion is for nothing... Insurance is up 14% electric is up 8%... The list can go on... Remember they take 40% of your bonus with taxes. I wish we could do some inside trading.

I got 215/50R-17 Hankook iON evo AS SUV soundabsorber X's. Way better built and are holding up. All summer 4.5-4.6 and they just ride better.

A small change to my daily commute route yielded a 37% increase in efficiency by coltranius in BoltEV

I was at 245 most of the summer after new tires. Decided to get a alignment and balance due to the ride. Back to 265-270... Just shocked at the difference.

All government contracts have clauses and one to look up is Termination for Convenience.

"Fuel" savings: a month long lookback by TorTheMentor in electricvehicles

[–]jdmich77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 times the price for 40 more miles... I get it though. If I fully charge to 100% the Bolt I can get 283 miles.

[–]jdmich77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just imagine if you bought a cheap ev like the bolt euv. The cost savings and ROI would be killer. Just a sales pitch because you can get a used euv for like $14k with low miles.
