i guess the fact that i've never considered going back means that i prefer the dysfunction of this job

it is incredibly, incredibly depressing to come face to face with the depressingly mundane failures of local government though. i expected it in a corporate environment, but this job is exposing me to some shocking stuff

"Government should be run like a business!" is a very common thing said by conservatives up here so Im not surprised a bunch of failed businessmen get elected to fail just as spectacularly in local government.

My city is a very good example of what happens when business takes over. :smith:

not me, no. but there are real questions i need to ask about how much identifying information i've shared in the past and how that could be used against not just me but my loved ones if some extremely online psychopath decided to take out their very specific grudge. christchurch has shown me that this is not just america's problem anymore, they're well and truly everywhere at this point, and while these beautiful stupid forums mostly get overlooked because we're so small and old, we do have a history and attention is inevitable

You can fit 3 Californias into Ontario.
