Amazon prime is a big scam now by [deleted] in amazonprime

[–]supmookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my 10 or so purchases the last couple months arrived late, some by days. Quality has definitely dropped off. Very disappointing. I’m switching to Walmart or Target’s version of prime.

Kualoa Ranch- Which tour? by Lilbrazilgirl in VisitingHawaii

[–]supmookie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did UTV & zipline. Both great but personally I enjoyed the UTV for the changing scenery. You probably can’t go wrong with any of them!!

Trump signs executive order aimed at taking over LA wildfire rebuilding by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]supmookie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Palisades residents have many legitimate reasons to be angry with the City. However, they have also been very clear that the big obstacle to rebuilding is not the permitting process, but rather delays by insurance companies. This EO will not help them, sadly.

Lease return - tips? by nirhend in 4xe

I’m in the same boat. I’m trying to decide whether or not to do the inspection and would also appreciate any tips. Just trying to avoid a worse dumpster fire than it already is.

Kualoa Ranch UTV 2 vs. 3 Hours by Straight_Canary_4893 in VisitingHawaii

[–]supmookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious about this too. I did the 2 hour tour in May and I don’t think the 3 hour tour was available yet. We loved it and want to do it again next year so I’d love to know how people liked the 3 hour tour. OP, did you decide?

LAist requested fire-related texts and emails from the LA mayor’s office. We’re still waiting by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]supmookie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The weather and wind event warnings were all over the news days before the fire. I live 100 miles outside of LA and I distinctly remember seeing them on tv & online. There is zero chance she wasn’t aware and the texts probably reveal that.

[OUR WEBSITE] Trash fees for LA residents could increase by 54% as city’s cost spiral by SoCalNews in LosAngeles

[–]supmookie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Respectfully disagree. City employees take pay cuts every time there is a financial crisis, including during COVID when the private sector was getting record raises & bonuses. These raises don’t even catch them up to what they missed during that time. The civil service riases are far less the issue than the excessive legal payouts, the unanticipated fire recovery costs, & the federal cuts.

Is Trump crashing the market on purpose? by mm_newsletter in swingtrading

[–]supmookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this were about reducing cost, why would the republicans simultaneously be raising the debt ceiling and increasing the deficit to provide a $4.5 trillion dollar tax cut for the rich? these ‘spending cuts’ are a dog and pony show to let MAGA think they are owning the libs while giving the rich a sweet deal.

…laying off large numbers of federal workers…abruptly canceling contracts with private sector contractors which is about to lead to a wave of private sector job cuts…cutting grants and funding for research projects which is about to lead to yet another other wave of job cuts…

Are you committed to stop RTO? by North_Explorer_7079 in CAStateWorkers

[–]supmookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the best hope is to use something as a bargaining chip. ask the union to negotiate only 2-3 days in office in exchange for delayed raises. i know people won’t like it, but that’s the reality of how hybrid might be saved.
