Mr. Plow, the tax waster

Every year the Army Reservists in St. Louis do some drivers training in North City. I did an article on it titled The Conspiritard Edition because I couldn't believe so many people would get their tinfoil hats in such a bunch. We've been driving trucks around that area for years because, as you might imagine, we need to stay proficient with our vehicles. There is a massive difference between my Elantra and a fifty ton armored Humvee, and it's nice to practice.

Back then, we were obviously training for the end of days and for when the darkie lost the White House. Or when he won and told us to go steal everyone's guns. There was a lot of odd logic going on.

What I do know is people need practice, and there is no reason we shouldn't do what we can to stay proficient with our equipment. I have to qualify on my rifle twice a year to make sure I can still hit a target because it's part of my job. It just makes sense.

I have an article from KSDK about Missouri snow plows being out on the roads practicing their routes for when the snow falls. Sounds great to me. I want those guys ready to clear the roads after a snow storm rather than just driving around like some loons with no plan or direction.

I do love the people who feel they know best about what the city needs. Obviously, the guy on facebook has been talking to the city maintenance people on a regular basis, and listens to their lamentations on the dire conditions of our bridges. Never mind that a new bridge is being built to span the Mississippi River, or that bridges are constantly being built and maintained in the city.

I'll make it easy for you. Here is the contact information for the St. Louis bridge maintenance people. Call them up and yell about the poor state of the bridges you've been painstakingly inspecting on your own. Then listen for the thumps as they bang their heads against the wall while they attempt to erase the memory of your call while they are still on the line with you.

Mostly with this one I question your parent's naming standards. 'Jenni' should be spelled with a 'y'.

Good thing Bob is here to cover the bases the city may have forgotten about, like cost effectiveness. With the way most St. Louis commentors think, I imagine he would be the guy to call Mayor Slay directly to ask about mundane things like "What is the energy efficiency of the waste treatments plants" and "When are you going to stop trying to irradiate my testicles with your brain microwaves?"

I have never heard anyone talk about how well things went with snow removal any year. There is always a metric buttload of whining and bitching that the roads have the audacity of being slippery. These are the same people who complain about inaccurate weather predictions while yelling at MoDOT for not watching the weather predictions and being as prepared as their misfiring brains think they should be.

Checking in with our nonsense word soup comment is Ava here. If it were me, I'd blame alcohol or cat typing for this literary abortion.

I imagine they would if the tax payer knew a god damn thing about city planning. However, the average tax payer is fooled by at least one (1) Onion article a year, so I wouldn't put too much stock in what you think you know.

Odds on the people who liked this comment taking it seriously? I'd put it at half with a two like spread.

Odds of this being a serious comment are too much for me to contemplate...
