  • Not even deregulation. we had a cheap efficient program that held screw worm out of north america. Basically we irradiated male grubs which sterilized them, then froze the fly’s and dropped them over an area to prevent them from breeding and spreading.

    This was cut because we were operating outside the US and why should other countries also benefit from our tax dollars.

    The dumbass ‘gubment bad’ crew fucked us all.










  • Let’s break this down and look at it a different way.

    If my hobby were shooting guns and I were to set up a shooting range in my garage and I killed a neighbor, am I responsible?

    If my hobby were fireworks and I was making them in my kitchen and burned down my apartment building killing 3 people, am I to blame?

    The driver is engaging in a dangerous hobby in a reckless manner. We all know racing is dangerous because people die even in controlled conditions. We know he is being reckless because he is not racing in a place designed for it. When you put others in harms way based on your own stupidity, you face consequences.




  • I’m in a similar boat. Over an hour commute, younger kids with afterschool activities 4 days a week. A wife has a full-time job, luckily, she finally finished her master’ so we reclaimed Saturdays and I’m not running the taxi service solo.

    Shit is exhausting, but I am glad our daughters got to see their mom a accomplished something so huge, and I’m proud to have supported her along the way.





  • my kid was playing on a swing in a community park in a neighboring town (an expensive place to live). She found a big baggie of cash, looked like mostly singles, but it was maybe 2" thick. I told her to put it back and not mess with it. Maybe it was someones birthday money, maybe it was some other nefarious source. no matter what I don’t need that in my life, I definitely don’t need my kid dealing with it.
