It’s the damn jughandles lol. They seriously couldn’t pick a better approach… I started just making a right off the jughandle and banging a U’ie so I can choose my lane in time (instead of making a left in that clusterfuck)

No, I am in favor of predictable medical services that can respond when called. Not be paged from their jobs 2 and 3 times hoping you get enough people to show up. This isn't a game, it's people's lives. Want to keep medical bills down? REGIONALIZE!!!! not every town needs its own little ambulance service, own police, own schools, own fire. WAKE UP... it makes no sense, and is not sustainable, the way we do things today. The rest of medical bill shave to do with insurance... that's a bigger issue.

So you're in favor of yet more crippling medical billing for people? Because that's what you get when the volunteers close up shop, either private ambulances or hospital EMTs, both of which will potentially cost you around a grand or more. Towns will NOT stand up their own EMS that comes out of tax money like the police and we know this for a fact because it happens over and over. Nobody in my town, with its dedicated volunteer squad, will ever be heard begging people to not call an ambulance for them because they can't afford it.

EDIT: So the coward blocked me right after he made his last comment so I can't read his comments or reply anymore. Support your local volunteers!

I used to be an EMT in NYC, the number of times I was called to a nursing home because they were just being lazy was insane

“He’s having a seizure.”

“Ma’am, he has the hiccups. He said he told you it’s the hiccups.”

“Well you take him just to be safe.”

It’s like the ones that are complaining (about other drivers) wouldn’t do the same. If those “don’t block the box lines” weren’t painted there, would they give them room to get into the lane? I don’t think so.

But OP has it correct, that whole area needs a redesign.

Fines when you arrive in the country, not being able to renew passports, among other things. You can abstain but you have to tell them why you couldn't vote. For instance, if you live in Utah and your nearest consulate / voting site is in Florida (just random states, not necessarily true), or if you're sick and can't go, then you'd have to send in a form with proof explaining why you didn't vote.

Imagine considering someone 'sheeple' for not wanting to end up paralyzed--that's the most NJ'est thing I've read on here in a long time.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) was passed to prevent workers from being killed or otherwise harmed at work. The law (yes, the law) requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers.

Ladder Basics:

  1. When on a ladder, never face away from it.
  2. Never stand on the top rung of the step ladder.

That top rung is, at best, for your hands, not your feet. Ladder too short? Get a longer fucking ladder.
