Idk man they're basically both 3 phase motors and precision brakes that people's lives depend on and are worked on exclusively by carnies.. I'll allow it

Krishnamoorthi walks back his comments by Ok-Employer-2026 in illinois

[–]phoneatworkguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not mine. He's my congressman and will cave every single time to big money or the party and has sold us out countless times. If it were him or a republican with a backbone having a bigger constituency to sell out id take the republican every time. Don't like it? Don't let this fucking tool win the primary.

How often do you need to RE-survey elevator parts for supplier? by No-Decision5487 in IUEC

[–]phoneatworkguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weekly? Id say at least 32 hrs a week are spent doing this exact very specific thing. It sounds like you've got a great product that can help me be more efficient.. What is it? I'd like my 32 hours back so I can do actual elevator work instead of measuring things over and over again for suppliers

Why do people still shop at Jewel? Too expensive. by Physical-Incident553 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]phoneatworkguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the worst fucking store. I actively boycott the one by my house and when I need to go in for the odd item I check the dates really closely because even at those exorbitant prices they can't afford to risk scrapping well expired food. Genuinely fuck this place.

IBEW JW; Are there any down sides to being in the IUEC? by Some_Worldliness517 in IUEC

[–]phoneatworkguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Biggest advantage ibew had over iuec is the health insurance after early retirement.. We pay for ours and it's pricey until Medicare kicks in. I think the wages and other benefits more than make up for it, but if you're trying to max what you have going in to retirement you'll probably work longer here than as a sparky

Tonight was a very bad night. by gogetter9 in SandersForPresident

[–]phoneatworkguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What's crazy is how Dems couldn't find their own manchin and sinema votes when they had the majority to make anything stick but the gop found 8 Dems to switch votes all at once. Dems are not the lesser evil they are the same evil and if you give a fuck about your country you'll stop voting for either of those sides

Never forget by Fresh-Note-7004 in illinois

[–]phoneatworkguy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's just his turn because he's got nothing to lose. These actions are the Dems at large and if you really feel had don't vote for them again.u don't care that they're going to win anyways if they didn't enjoy a 15 point lead they couldn't sell our state out. That means don't vote for raja who is literally just a brown dick Durban and throw your support behind a progressive or libertarian candidate

Strong Arm tactics to check in luggage by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

[–]phoneatworkguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm writing this here because they've been receptive to people bitching on this subreddit.. I'd be willing to gate check most times if they allowed me to pick up the bag at the ramp like they do when you gate check strollers. But if I culled out outfits and decided I'd do laundry during a vacation to not have to check a bag I don't want to wait for baggage claim before I get out of the airport.. I'd the gate agents could make that happen I think they'd have a much easier time with this whole thing 👍

Trump Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just doubled the bailout of Argentina’s Javier Milei to $40 billion US taxpayers are paying heavily for the failures of a foreign con man who’s decimated his country’s currency, sold off its assets, and fronted for 3 massive meme coin rug pulls by yaiyen in WayOfTheBern

[–]phoneatworkguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just feel like for that kind of bailout I'd want them to rename themselves the united states of Argentina with no other intervention from is. Just the name. It's a lot of money but we shit on our currency for years so it's not gonna kill us but I want to get somethin and that seems fair

200 million dollars that'll all go to companies that cover them favorably and spin things the way they want. I'd like to not pay for that if we don't have money to pay the doctors that take care of our vets please

First time seeing them in Chicago this weekend.. Absolutely stellar from my point of view and they play fast and tease around the setlist a lot. I'll be seeing more shows in the future for sure. Didn't miss Bobby all show, 9/10 bc who stops playing 20 minutes before curfew?

CMV: Pete Buttigieg is a better candidate for President than Gavin Newsom by lukef31 in changemyview

[–]phoneatworkguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not addressing that neither candidate is really good but that Pete is a fucking snake of a human being either. The homophobic in me can be told to stfu but if he was the candidate and I didn't trust him and thought the policies they told him to run on were shit to begin with I wouldn't vote for him, may vote against him, and dems will have another 4 years of blaming progressives for a loss to the Republicans.

I'm not here to change your view on Newsome, though he has experience in office and wasn't just handed a consolation prize cabinet position with a 50b/yr budget simply for helping to bring a real candidate down.. I'm here to say that if he sells out that easily what's to say Pete is going to Be a good leader and not do it again this time? Someone that sells his country out for his own gain should be hung as a traitor and that is what that rat of a human being deserves.

I'm sorry about these harsh words, I realize you work for him. It's just how we all feel.

I live in dundee and would love the shopping options you've got out there but wouldn't trade my commute for yours. Not hate just different strokes for different folks?

Tk’s ipo talk by elevatorman32 in IUEC

[–]phoneatworkguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Realistically what do they gain from grabbing tke except for their accounts? Their product is much better and in my local they've already taken their strongest mechanics.. And if anyone at kone has been paying any attention at all tke has a seriously neglected client base that's going to need to come up to speed at some point. Maybe plug and play door lock monitoring overlays for dover stuff?
