Got asked by a supervisor “what did you think of the debate”
Uh, don’t know because unlike you, I’ve been working not staring at my phone. (Not that I would have if I was not working)

Sadly managements refused to start paying OT after 12 hours & only after 40 in a week. Which sucks when we work 3 days

When I was in my 30’s I would get a lot of surveys sent to me or emailed
A white middle class young male was who “they” wanted
Now #surveys (like @smilesbitcoin link to) don’t want a nearly 60 lower middle class white males opinion
Which means I’m not relevant

No situation has ever been made better by the inclusion of #alcohol or #drugs.
27 years of #EMS has proven that.
(They may not have made things worse, but never better.)

On June 18, 1812 (212 years ago) the U.S. Congress declared war for the first time…on the British.

I was mowing my yard (it’s 94) and a SUV pulls up, lowers the window so the driver could yell at me. “Hey, there is an air quality warning out. You can’t mow your yard, it is making it worse.” I said “my electric mower is creating less pollution than your car is right now” He left after giving me 🖕🏽 #hypocrits

Question:
What are you doing to make your life better right now?
I harvested blackberries from my garden.
Will be clearing off a shelf in the garage, sorting out the stuff not used in the last decade for donation on Saturday.

Biden’s Federal Reserve Chair said inflation imposes hardships on Americans by eroding away their purchasing power. Yet when inflation was officially below 2% the Powell pursued policies to raise the rate. Obviously at the time the Fed felt that purchasing power wasn't being eroded fast enough.
Now the goal is to erode purchasing power by 2% a year.

I’m shocked.
We got a contract offer for the union to vote on that actually is not to bad.
It breaks even on the last two years with out a pay increase matching inflation for the past two years and 1.5% more. It also is only three years (the last was eight years) and we get 4%, 4%, 3%. We have to give up being notified in writing of a complaint and a time frame to serve punishment. As well as less vacation for new hires after a set date.
But it is better than expected.
