  1. Now you're definitely talking out your ass. :lol:

    Pickerington, for one, using regular old pickup trucks to plow. Saves lots of money. And magically, our street is always clear, while Columbus and others bitch about their streets never getting plowed. But yeah, a 1/2 ton just can't do the job. LOL

    I can load 3 tons of bricks in the back of a Subaru too. Should I? How long will that vehicle last?

    Just because the truck doesn't explode or quit after it plows a street doesn't mean it's capable. You don't use a paintbrush to sweep a garage floor do you?

    But what do I know?

  2. How many private snow plow drivers own the necessary equipment? You can't plow a street with a 1/2 ton, sorry. They aren't built for commercial duty of that severity.

    It is that easy by the way. If you call off sick and it can be proven you called off to strike or otherwise were not sick, you should be fired. It's effectively stealing from your employer, whether that's the state or a private employer. End of story.

    :lol: Ok, prove it. I'm having a bout with depression, which is a valid and diagnosable illness - prove to me I'm not sick. And if you really feel that way, then we should eliminate sick days across the board. Use a vacation day -- or no, we should eliminate those too because any day you take off work is "effectively stealing from your employer". Rich, man. Rich. :lol:

    And with that, stop being a troll.
    Nevar!
  3. Let them call in sick. Bring a doctor's note the next day or be fired. Easy fix. If they go on strike, go on the news saying there are immediate positions needing to be filled. The unemployment rate is high enough that those jobs will be filled in no time.

    Ohh yea, so simple. Why don't you just push the "Easy" button?.

    1) Still doesn't fix the immediate problem that there is 8" of snow/ice on the ground. If they wanted to get to the doctor they couldn't because the doctor can't even make it into his office.

    2) Sick time is sick time, you can't control when you're going to be sick. Tough luck on 'coincidences'. Not every illness requires you do go to the doctor.

    3) Strike, same issue as #1 -- how are all the "scabs" going to get to their new jobs?

    In the meantime, you'll have millions in lost productivity in the private sector because no one can get to their jobs either.

    Regardless of all that, you're going to let just any joe-blow off the street that wanted to sit behind a plow truck, plow? Yea, that's not a recipe for disaster or anything.

  4. Governor Kasich proposes $10 hike in vehicle registration fee

    Awesome. Instead of taking money from the richest 2%, we'll just take it from EVERYONE. I thought Republicans weren't socialists? :confused:

    COLUMBUS — Gov. John Kasich’s administration wants to hike the cost of an Ohio vehicle title by $10 while eliminating a $20 late fee for driver license renewals.

    The Dayton Daily News reports the proposals were rolled out on Wednesday and are part of the Republican governor’s transportation budget.

    Ohio Department of Public Safety spokesman Geoff Dutton says the higher title fee would provide $31.5 million in annual funding for the State Highway Patrol.

    Under the plan now before an Ohio House panel, motorists who currently pay $15 for a vehicle title would instead be charged $25.

    State officials say that’s still below the $32 average they found in a survey of 27 other states.

    Dutton says the late fee for renewing a driver license has been “hugely unpopular.”

  5. AWD motorcycles are about to get real

    Via hellforleathermagazine: http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2011/02/awd-motorcycles-are-about-to-get-real/

    christini1-599x424.jpgFor years the maker of custom all-wheel drive conversions, Christini is launching its own brand of production bikes. Two models will be assembled in the company’s Philadelphia facility for sale as 2012 models and it’s kinda hard to not be overwhelmed by awesome reading the spec sheets. In addition to a $6,895 four-stroke 450, there’ll be an $8,995 two-stroke 300 too. Affordable prices, AWD, high-end components and American assembly? Win.

  6. I thought ABATE stood for American Bikers Aimed Toward Education... Either way, I hope this law spreadslike wildfire across the country.

    Its a Fox News link, so it stands for whatever they want it to stand for as long as its got an anti-gov't / conservative tinge to it -- I think they could've done better.

    Technically... it stands for both, but you see which one they decided to print -- jussayin'

  7. I'm a fan of all sorts of useless legislation for you poor people.

    Buncha animals that need to stay in your cages so I can enjoy my guns, and fanciful imported Italian machinery.
