If you ever notice construction is stalled in your city, it’s because it’s a racket.
They low bid the contract.
They take contract.
Work stops because they didn’t ask for enough money.
They’re already there, it’d cost too much to fire them or move their supplies and equipment. They know this so they drag their feet until the client pays more.
The law really need to be changed when it comes to this stuff, I’d rather take the inefficiency or even corruption than this (also inefficient and corrupt) nonsense.
I work in construction insurance, protecting the government and investors against construction companies that do this. Our underwriters study the project, the construction company history and everything related and we qoute a price that the construction company should pay even before the government or the investors transfer anything. If the construction company or the project fail for any reason we take control over the project and find a new construction company to complete it. After that, our lawyers go after everything owned by the construction company and their executives to try to recoup anything we can.
I wish our construction was like in Japan. Instead we have the worst, slowest companies in the Chicago area. How does it take months or even years to fix a road AND they start a new project a mile away on the same road at the same speed. Then somehow the road end up bumpy anyway cause they didn’t fix around the manhole covers correctly.
I visit friends in Chicago every year. There’s a place on the interstate that has been under construction for 5 years. It’s just like one lane they’ve been paving. What the heck?
There are a few roads in the suburbs that will have something finish getting fixed only for the same exact road to be torn up again for something else cause they didn’t coordinate. One time I saw a road get repaved cause it needed it, then half of it was torn back up to do some sort of maintenance, once that was fixed and repaved more of that area got torn up to change out some water stuff and drains, then a year later the whole road is torn up again to be repaved because now it’s been 5-6 years and parts of it need it.
I have had my road replaced three times in 5 years because first they installed new gas lines, then they installed new water lines, and that damaged the gas lines so they needed to fix them in a bunch of places.
I don’t live or work at the US, so I don’t think my opinion is worth more than shit. But I would guess you are mixing private with public projects. Private projects usually go on schedule because they’re not a lot of parties involved and everyone wants to finish the project asap to start a new a one. With public ones you have a lot of people involved because everyone and their granma think their opinion is valid and they are being affected. But this is the same on basically everywhere on the world, except maybe China.
If I’m not supposed to eat the yellow, why did they call it cake? Yellow death might have discouraged me, but now I have an entire life of yellow cake propaganda that forces me to eat it.
Love the incel worldview where every part of a woman’s very complex, very traumatic, very painful life can be reduced to her relationship with a man. And the framing that being a single mom who has aids (which isn’t even what she had in the movie) makes her worth less than she was before. Fucking gross. Dunno why this community isn’t removing misogynistic trash.
Love that you characterize sexual physical and emotional abuse by multiple men, including her father, throughout her lifetime as a sob story. Yeah, sounds like they told you it’s not anyone else’s problem specifically because you’re a misogynist and are using your past trauma as justification.
I’m sorry why is it okay to make fun of guys for being traumatized by women but not vice versa?
This is a legitimate question btw I’m not just trying to be an ass. My whole life was controlled by the women around me to the point I’ll probably never be able to have a healthy relationship again and I wanna know why that’s okay to make fun of.
Have you joined a men’s group? I have a similar history with women, and the men’s group is the only thing that could have helped me out of the hole they put me into.
I’m sorry why is it okay to make fun of guys for being traumatized by women but not vice versa?
Maybe we should extend compassion to everyone instead of removing it for “equality.”
Sorry you had some shitty experiences with women, that sucks, but if your reaction is “everyone should get this shitty treatment” then I kinda lose sympathy for you because you’re putting more hate into the world.
You sure as shit don’t. They used the quotation marks just fine. So fine in fact, that this usage you are so against is a well established grammatical device, look up “scare quotes”.
Nah it’s cuz you described her being sexually physically and emotionally abused by dozens of men throughout her life as a sob story. You told on yourself.
I did. Up above he said that because other women have told him just because he’s traumatized doesn’t make it anyone else’s business that he can hold the opinion that Jenny is a piece of shit.
He is using actions women have taken against him to justify his own callous attitude. Let me know if I misreading something.
Wait did I miss the part where they were ever in an official relationship? She’s shown with multiple partners. I really don’t see how this was a sob story. She never asked him to save her, she never took advantage of his money, she raised young Forrest alone until just before she died. She had a fucked up life starting with her physically and sexually abusive dad and took until just before she died to find peace.
Agreed. I recognize it is the Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and The Woz generation. But the technology is so far beyond what they created, even though we use what the Boomer generation created every day, and I get that.
It’s the Jobs, Gates, and Woz generation, but until they step out of the way we won’t get a new generation of pioneers in technology. It used to be the dream was to create the next big thing, now the dream is to make something that gets you bought up by Google, Apple, or Microsoft.
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information, but it passes my totally uniformed bullshit detector. distractify.com/…/what-happens-if-a-guy-takes-pla… has an article on just that. In summary, nothing fun or pleasant. Keep away from Ambien, as they may look physically similar.
Yeah. I searched a little because hcg, the pregnancy hormone, actually increases male testosterone and is used by bodybuilders to prevent negative side effects of roids. Levonorgestrel was studied to be used in male contraceptive along with intramuscular testosterone. The most accepted hormone to a male pill now is Nestorone. Pretty interesting looking at papers from 1996 and more recent ones, from the last ten years, speaking about gel as a contraceptive method. And on a personal note, I wouldn’t take the male pill lmao.
We use only the finest baby crabs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.
