I retired from the IT world and drive city transit buses in the Seattle metro area. I’ve never been happier. Hopefully I can be a bright spot in your day. Outdoor anything, music loving, adventure loving. Rockin the PNW! 🚫asshats

It’s a data collection device. All that “free” programming? It’s selling your soul for mind numbing garbage. Why do you think TV’s are so cheap?… and there is so much “free” programming?it is because they found a new income stream and it’s you and your proclivities.

The economy will continue to contract until that time that raising a family does not require the body and sole of both man and woman to support a single household.

When the average man, the working man realizes they own the means of production, at that point the pendulum will swing… only if he/she flexes their muscle.

Community Transit double tall coach on the SoDo bus expressway getting ready to depart on route 510 from Seattle to Everett Station. This is by far the most passenger heavy load of my week. Typically 45 to 60 passengers.

I think I speak for everyone. WHO GIVES FUCK that a nothing corporation with no purpose other than seeking the president’s praise. Pretty much all they talk about is Trump, all day and night. Name another station that does this… RT America, Press TV. CCTV, TeleSUR, to name several.

Somewhat similar, make it a point to thank anyone and everyone for great customer service, even better, if your success allows, tip ridiculously high. To you $40 is something you might blow for 2 drinks in a bar, to the person you would be positively impacting it might keep the electricity on.

At what point do they see their hypocrisy? More evidence they are guilty of what they accuse…

We need to change our language and replace any use of the word Trump, with “The Federal Government”. Change the language from the individual to the institution. His cult will be left with defending the Federal Government rather than the man. It allows you to argue policy rather than personality and

My son is currently at UBC in a biomedical engineering PhD program. He went to the festival yesterday to blow off some steam with some of the happiest people on earth. He left 15 minutes before it happened. The emergency services passed by on his way home. Incredibly saddened, and grateful he left.

Diversity EQUITY INCLUSION The last 2 words are specifically associated with special education. A child in a wheelchair unable to communicate without an assistive device is given the same as opportunity as the gifted and talented quarterback with a 4.2 GPA.

Federal demands relative to DEI are impacting funding for special education. Really wanting to understand your disassociation of special ed funding with Feds withholding funding to force public school administrators to cut DEI programs. OR, more likely I am missing your point entirely

Special education relies heavily on federal grant money to support this population of students. Unless I am misunderstanding your point, it is very much the same thing. Special education IS DEI at its fullest and best.

$$$ take away the funding and it will collapse. I’m watching this happen in real time. My wife is an executive director for special education in the public school system. They are bleeding an already underfunded need dry.

Hegseth is a perfect example. DEI actually forces you to consider the best candidate for the job rather than elevating a moron like Hegseth just because you know he’ll be a lapdog.
