I enjoy taking walks and am pretty lucky that there a numerous parks nearby where I can take nice long stroll. All of them have trash bins at the parking lots which are convenient for poo bags, drink bottles, snack wrappers etc. The problem is that they are all full all the time because people use them to dump their personal garbage. I have even seen appliances and car seats and such sitting next to them. Of course the council empties them once a week but sure enough the next day they are full again.

Maybe I ought to be grateful because many people seem to just ignore the bins and throw their trash all over the park too.

I really wish they would put cameras or something to discourage this kind of thing.

I mean there is always Chloe.

The fact that she didn't cry or scream indicates she is used to being abused like this.

That's what happens when you lay off so many government employees I guess.

The long term plan is to ruin the public education system so they can fund private schools instead. Needless to say those schools will not allow unions in.

Exactly. But they know they will all be sitting on boards when they stop getting elected so that's why they are doing this.

exactly. It's all reacharounds and corruption.

When you say "other sectors" you probably mean major corporations. Yes in major corporations CEOs and such get paid obscene amounts of money for failing constantly and then being fired with golden handshakes. That's not something we want to do with our public sector.

These people are not CEOs, they are not running anything. They are just sitting on a board that meets at most once a quarter for a couple of hours. Nobody should be getting paid 90K for ten hours of work a year.

From 90,000 to 162,000 is most certainly not reasonable. That's an 80% raise. Who else gets a 80% raise?

Honestly at this stage I'd rather have the Chinese than the Trump goons.

FBI is supposed to operate inside of the US only AFIK. The CIA and NSA are the ones supposed to fuck us.

See how butter and lamb are so cheap because we make so much here? It will be just like that.

 

Oh great. Invite the gestapo arm of the fascist state right in. Also If you ever have some time read about the kind of evil person Kash Patel is. I can't believe we let people like that into our country.

given the kind of pain and suffering they have inflicted on the public with their austerity regime it seems like they could talk about other things than road cones.

 

Because this is the most pressing issue facing the country right now.
