When Trump is involved you clowns will always find something to bitch about
No. When Trump is floundering and failing we simply point it out. I point out his successes too.

Yes you have TDS and are mentally weak

It was inevitable but we'll have to accept that we live in a multi polar world. It might be foolish to fight it anyway. The world is a better place when China and the United States are cooperating.

Let's see: We have significant economic interests in the middle east,
And have damaged those interests by starting an unprovoked war
In retaliation they have attacked our military bases and the infrastructure of our interests in the region
We have proven that we can not defend those interests
This is not what winning looks like. This is what it looks like when the idiots are in charge.

this has nothing to do with politics
a mentally ill person filmed himself insulting and provoking people for months in an attempt to bait someone into a altercation so he could shoot them and claim self defense
he then posts another tweet threatening to kill someone a week before this incident where he allegedly approaching someone who yelled at him.
This was outside of a courthouse so presumably there is surveillance
Maybe the real referendum is against online stupidity
People like this are the definition of FAFO

That thing will never take my job.
A future version of it could in theory. But yeah that thing isn't that efficient at a very menial task
Yeah. Unfortunately I'm salary and as of yet they haven't done anything for the salary folks for pay escalation.
It's still a very good paying job and I don't have to work weekend so I'm not going to complain. But yeah...I'm a senior PM and have 3rd year apprentices making more than me. :lol:

Provided they can find lodging. Hell, even RV spots are hard to come by. But they are making a killing. I think Google has contacted every person with master electrician certs in a 200 mile radius of one of their sites. Crane operators is another one. We are having a tough time competing with them
On my job most of the guys just have a long work commute and don't even have to look for lodging. It's pretty insane.
And the crane operators is a real thing. I have a lot of owner furnished equipment scheduled in the next month and the rigging contractor is suggesting they may have a tough time getting personnel to do the work. And these guys aren't some fly by night mom and pop shop.

Don't you understand, market forces don't exist in powerman's niche of the world.
Market forces are exactly what is driving this. We have several billion in electrical work scheduled for this year alone and we're not even the biggest player in the area. There is a severe shortage of electrical workers to build out the Texas AI datacenter boom that is now reaching critical mass.

I get that...but is his race integral to the character itself?

I believe you are paying them that much, I don’t know how to state it any more clearly than that. What you’re failing to do is recognize they bring home a third to 40% of that because they’re independent operators.
They're direct W2 employees that work for the same company as me
Again, I don't know why you think you have expertise here. You don't.

You have 20 posts. I've been posting here a long time and some people already know some personal details about me. I'm not posting my place of employment especially since I'm in senior management.
