I work retail and this just means we'll get squatting homeless people inside our stores for hours on end. Every cold spell we generally end up calling pd to evict a few customers that refuse to leave upon closing doors. Social services have offered them services before but they're mostly drug addicts and bumbs.

My employer screwed me over for a could of been promotion so I ain't coming into work when it snows. F' them. It's not a learning opportunity: it was clearly a screw you burn you scenario. Gotta love favoritism screw the person who's been doing the management duties of the department for the past 4 yrs. I saw my hard work go to crap in less than a week. I'm union so unless we have horrid attendance we can miss a week to snow.

Reply to Is Lakewood fairly safer than Tacoma? by westmaxia

I was born in Tacoma and at one time it was wealthier than Seattle and the wealthiest part of Tacoma other than the Northend was Lakewood. The largest mansions were around Gravelly Lake and American Lake and built by the lumber barons like Weyerhaeuser. Then Ft. Lewis came in and the area expanded with off base low income housing particularly during the Korean and Vietnamese wars with Little Korea, Elmo's bookstore (porno parlor) strip clubs and other low rent businesses for a transient military population. The first time I saw crystal meth was from a Banditos motorcycle gang member when he was selling a bag of Mexican weed to my friend's older brother in 1978 at a motel just off of Pac Ave. Things got worse as time went on and eventually Lakewood incorporated into a municipality with its own police force. The Lakewood PD had a particularly bad reputation back in the 90s. Bottom line is it would not be my first or even my last choice to call home in 2023.

Reply to comment by DanoPinyon in King County Employees Fired Over Vaccine Mandate Should Be Priority For Re-Hire, Proposal Says by SPIRIT_SEEKER8

except that after a couple of years of touting the vaccine it's obvious it's useless and possibly dangerous to many. Almost everyone getting the virus now have been vaccinated multiple times, so it didn't stop the spread or the transmission or the ability to get the virus.

Also, what about the time Joe Biden and Jen Psaki said" we don't have the authority to force anyone to take a vaccine" and never would mandate something like that. How did that randomly change.

What happened to "my body, my choice"?

or the fact that so many people working in the medical field during the height of the virus were working fearlessly and being called heros, when no vaccine existed and then vile and fired when they refused the vaccine.

There is too much uncertainty here, and many lies or wrong information given to the public. No accountability for the BS. People need their lives back and NOW.
