logging is like one of the deadliest businesses to be in to this day

my father in law got major back surgery a couple of years ago and the last day he was in the hospital they life-flighted a guy in from the middle of loving nowhere (like, literally more than an hour away from the nearest podunk hospital, and four hours out from Tulsa) after he had badly mishandled a chainsaw while on a logging job - he was apparently trying to cut a log or branch that was above him, dropped the chainsaw, and it basically half-cut-off his arm at an extreme angle, like it entered the arm just below the wrist and shredded his entire forearm and part of his upper arm too

apparently they tied a belt off on his arm, drove an hour at extreme speed to podunk hospital, then put him on a chopper which took like another goddamn hour to get to Tulsa

he survived but there's no fuckin' way he is ever using that arm again, lol, they hadn't amputated it yet by the time we left but from what we heard about the injury and what we grasped from overhearing the doctors entering the room he was sharing with my FIL, if he kept the arm he'd have been extremely lucky if he could even wiggle his fingers after that, the sheer damage a chainsaw can do to a limb is pretty much impossible to repair or recover from

Not even Trump, though, can stop what’s coming, he added. “Just looking around, and putting two and two together, a little bit of business savvy, a little bit of street savvy, a little common sense, a little bit of education, you kind of deduct different things,” he told me. “I think we’re going to see the end of the world in our generation.”

When I was in EMT school about a thousand years ago one of our instructors had been a paramedic at Kennedy Space Center and told us a story about having to have a five minute argument with his supervising physician about why he wasn't going to do CPR and stabilization on a lady who got decapitated so hard they had to look behind a bunch of machinery to find her head.

Basically, yes.

I heard so many times when Obama went on these trips, like Donnie is currently on, that it was because he wanted to go on vacation on our dime.

you should understand rurals are the enemy you face. Aunt Bessie with her delicious cookeis? Voted Trump. Cousin Duane who fixes your breaks for free and always has a spare beer? Voted Trump. Uncle Billy who's always offloading summer sausage for free? Voted Trump. Old Man Fergus who's always on his porch and waves during your morning commute? Voted Trump. The enemy is among you and you let their smile distract you from the fact that their vote is a spectre slowly sneaking its knife behind you.

Run screaming from Trump because they survived by the strength of gerrymandering and it might not work next time.

Or triple down on Trump maybe? IDK. I know that after the statewide numbers last night no one who's running in a statewide contest in VA is going to get in without motherfucking Donald Trump to his face.

In the rurals, sure.

Last night just proved there is no such thing as a GOP floor with college educated whites and there's a huge enthusiasm gap and people kept their jobs with gerrymandering which is gonna be gone the next time they're up for election and they know it.
