I mean it's pretty well informed I see them standing there doing nothing multiple times almost every day. I have been either walking to and from work or my vehicle and swear I have never seen them doing anything. I watched it take them weeks just to dig a hole. When they were digging in the park central east intersection I mean it was genuinely weeks to dig a hole. My roommate and I made fun of how slow it was multiple times. They would have an entire crew out there watching the one guy in the back hoe. Also they are behind in multiple projects. So that leads me to think it's the people not doing their jobs on time.

Your density is approaching that of a neutron star in this matter. Go back and closely review what you have been educated on in this topic by a great many other posters. Reflect on that and write a 750 word essay explaining why you feel this way citing reputable sources in the Chicago Style, double spaced in 11 point times now roman font. You will need to show specific cause and effect, that work was waiting to be done at those specific times and the persons standing around were not doing it even though they are qualified and licensed to do said work.

Quite literally have a picture of them all just standing there. What do you want an 8 hour video of them doing nothing lol? I also have the facts that I live next to it. It have take them 3 months to go about 100 ish feet.

Yet as multiple people have pointed out that is not reality. Your facts are merely suppositions and conjecturer based on ignorance. You are assuming they are standing around and not doing anything for no good reason. Yet provide no facts to back that up only your feels. So, I'm going to have to put a big old citation needed on your hypothesis that they are standing around and not doing anything resulting in them falling behind.

Sure doesn't mean they aren't months behind schedule and everyday are just standing there. They are the joke of my building as they are never doing any actual work out there. Hell the other day they had 3 trucks and 5 men working in a man hole so one guy was working and 4 watching.

Having a view different from yours isn't embarrassing. The homeless are mostly awful and lazy. Some definitely need help but the three beginning outside my door this evening and trying to sell people hand warmers were just bums.

No, genius, you missed the point that these things have been around long enough to be C&R(that's curio and relic) weapons and there's legit millions of them that have been around since the 1960s. It's not that they can't be dangerous, it's that they're common. Keep up.

>There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. All of those activities involve the coercive labor of others.

facepalm
This isn't your fucking poli sci class. My point on your whataboutism is that people who are doing behaviors that others do to excess, misuse, abuse or outright use for criminal purposes shouldn't deny the regular use for everyone else. You're accusing people you don't know for being "complicit in the senseless murder of thousands". That completely removes agency from people and it's borderline idiotic.

To say this another way: Did you prepare food today? Use a kitchen knife? You're complicit in the murder of millions going back to the first cases of bladed weapons and the death of humans. Monster. You have the bodies of dead children on your hands because you checks notes cut vegetables. That's the essence of your argument and why no one takes you seriously.

It is not the fault of a bar or a casual drinker that there are alcoholics who drive drunk and do unjust harm to others. The same holds true for guns. That's my point and you turned that into 'capitalism bad', then try to use the logical fallacy you used to accuse me of the same after completely missing the point, again.

You don't want to see the reality of firearms. A large majority of guns and gun owners don't kill anyone. Have fun holding signs and calling people murderers and wondering why they don't listen to you.

Dude you sound just like the Tech Bro's I used to work with when I was a System Analyst. Always looking down on those lower in the perceived hierarchy of jobs and minimizing what they do and have to put up with. Always thinking they were smarter than everyone else. Never bothering to understand why we have certain processes, rules, and requirements.

Delays in these kinds of projects are very seldomly caused by the front line workers. Rather the project engineer made assumptions that reality could not back up, the coordinator (often the same as the project engineer) could not coordinate deliveries to the set time schedule, mother nature sabotaged the time frame, needed equipment/parts suddenly became unavailable.

Anyhow, take your blood pressure meds, do some yoga, and smoke some 420 if that is your thing. Just relax and let the pro's do their job as best as reality will let them.
