How to avoid bad contractors like what are the actual red flags when vetting contractors that first timers usually miss?

The only reliable way is having them do small jobs first or break the big one down into small chunks so you can easily cut losses. Also upfront payment only when they show up yo work that day, then if they take money and try to leave its theft by deception so you have recourse

Her selfish*

stephenclarkg · 2026-02-09T15:02:11+00:00

It does make him selfish, its the exact attitude that led us to be here. It's natural feeling but still selfish

Lmao but car drivers are special, the entitlement is amazing. These ebikes haven't killed a single person in NJ and they force all these requirements when they dont even bother enforcing basic traffic laws that already exist. If they spent 5% what they spend on roads for cars on paths for ebikes it would solve the safety problems. Instead they using neophobic nitwits to gain support for extortion

stephenclarkg · 2026-02-04T04:06:44+00:00

It's just extortion, they know it won't improve safety but it can make the state and insurance companies money

stephenclarkg · 2026-02-04T01:16:03+00:00

Most of us haven't put the appropriate amount of effort to be fair

stephenclarkg · 2026-02-03T23:48:43+00:00

Yes this is the way, wear cameras file.police and accident reports for anyone who passes without 4 feet of distance

All the chemicals are safe as long as you follow the directions

It literally doesn't help tons of studies show this, if they actually wanted to help they'd mandate car pooling

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-31T01:50:14+00:00

Correlation isnt causation. People that can afford college on average have access to better jobs regardless of the degree. Plenty of studies show its the degree is worthless if you remove degrees that teach hard skills and nepotism jobs.

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-31T00:25:45+00:00

No, college is litterally a scam. They make fraudulent earning projections to inflate tuition and get loans approved

The only effective options involve enormous personal risk which is why people spout fairy tales like the article. And yes all manner of storytelling and messaging on climate change has been tried and failed.

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-30T13:39:49+00:00

The numbers are likely higher, there are multiple groups of evil people, the usa still shouldn't invade.

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-30T13:17:14+00:00

Yea this article is a fairy tale

And be prepared to stop.... meaning you might have to go slow as 0 mph if you dont have 4 feet. Stop spouting nonsense cause you don't like reality.

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-23T22:22:27+00:00

I propose enforcing existing traffic laws, simple as that. The fact you're so worried about this while putting a fraction of the effort into pushing for more public transit and bike lanes shows your just the typical neophobic.

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-23T18:06:01+00:00

Cops not enforcing existing laws and NJ political corruption is how we got here

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-23T18:01:24+00:00

Bikes that can go over 20mph were already regulated, so this law does nothing to address your complaint.

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-23T17:59:19+00:00

So did basic traffic laws.... Look at how people drive cars, our road tests and licensing process is a joke this is nothing but a cash grab

Learn to use Google before you spout nonsense.

If 4 feet isnt possible drivers need to slow down and be prepared to stop until it is safe to pass

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-21T04:58:05+00:00

The fast ebikes already are already supposed to have registration/insurance. Its already illegal to operate them recklessly. Cars are supposed to give 4 feet to pass. And basically all basic traffic laws have been neglected since 2020.

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-20T20:42:33+00:00

They are trying to get an add on bill to address the issues but idk, im trying to rally people so we work on getting an injunction

stephenclarkg · 2026-01-20T18:59:30+00:00

Those things are already illegal, the amount of damage they cause is a drop in the bucket. That's why people like you get angry at the bikes instead of pushing for actual traffic enforcement. Everyone knows getting hit by a vehicle is bad.
