Anyone on Social Security or Disability should know, Project 2025 and the legislation and budgets it has inspired would directly raise costs on the middle class to give the wealthy and corporations billions in tax cuts. One proposal would let companies stop paying overtime; another would cut Social Security benefits by raising the retirement age
Let me put 1 thing in perspective - it regards women & abortions & the death penalty or liable for homicide charges - you've most likely heard a rumor or 2 about it before.. as well as health providers performing abortions or providing care can be imprisoned longer than a rapist... yes these started out as rumors but they are on the table for Project 2025 discussions, is this still America?
Here's a few truly amazing 12" firework shells

@Ironworker229 @corlin oh yeah and this made me laugh one day and OSHA inspector came right out and told us it really depends on the mood of the inspector as to how severe an inspection can be. We thought he was bullshitting and he looked right at us and said he was dead serious...
@Ironworker229 @corlin And then said company would once again fall back into old habits... If OSHA actually made more surprise inspections a lot of places would be heavily fined or cited, possibly even shut down depending on the severity I've been employed in places that were real bad safety-wise
@Ironworker229 @corlin yeah this is kind of what I was alluding to when I originally said a lot of times it's overkill... Another thing is a lot of companies do the hurry up and fake it routine before an OSHA inspection, and then the inspector will find something that wasn't addressed but also was very very minimal, sometimes it would result in a fine and sometimes it would result in a general citation..
@corlin After the notification of the citations, I disputed one that was classified as "Serious". On a concrete deck (poured by others) there were protruding 5/8" allthread to be used to tie down structural framing. 2 or 3 out of 100 did not have protective covers over them. They protruded 3" above the concrete. The inspector determined them to be a Serious Hazard of impalement. (Fucking ridiculous) We appealed and got it reduced to a general citation. @duglop 2/2+
@corlin I was specifically told by the CAL OSHA District Manager during a dispute conference that they they had one mechanism in their mandate: Issue Citations with fines.
We were issued 4 citations from a site walk 2 days prior to the deadline of 6 months from the date of the walk. All of the cited issues were addressed immediately on site except for a scratched sticker on a piece of equipment (replaced the next day and documented to the inspector). 1/2
@duglop
@duglop love it and we love chickens. They’re very smart and funny and loving and the hens we had would lay 1 sometimes even 2 eggs per day so we always had fresh eggs but keeping them when raccoons, foxes, skunks, coyotes and mountain lions are around means throughly securing the coop.. that means putting chicken wire beneath, as well and they still manage to get in. We don’t have the space to let them roam anymore and they can be very messy so we don’t keep them anymore. It’s a commitment!
@purrrism actually it is on my bucket list :)
Yes I am the thing that goes bump in the night!
