"Tiny Trains"

*moves to a beautiful small island that some how got a massive ugly suburban development on it*
*enshrines the fact that the island is for HOME OWNERS and not filthy renters or tourists through the island's zoning*
*complains non-stop that the island just doesn't have enough infrastructure or services to live there full time with a family but fights tooth and nail every possible property tax increase*
*complains non-stop that the ferry to the island is too expensive and the government needs to subsidize it even more than they already do*
*complains non-stop that local shops on the island are closing down due to lack of local customers and tourists and how it feels like a ghost town and how every other "cabin" seems to be for sale*
*votes no on every attempt to relax zoning to allow people to rent their cabins out on airbnb so that the island can attract more tourists since the few official places to stay are really expensive and half the houses on the island are for sale because people can't afford to let them sit empty for 10 months a year*
*continues to complain about the lack of shops and services on the island, but at least they saved it from renter scum that would destroy everything*

I dedicate this to the goon talking smack about it earlier. Edible at worst, great when stoned/drunk at best. Would za again. Not the cheapest by any means either, but a few steps above Little Caesars (which is 30 minutes away vs 30 seconds away)

I go to pender sometimes and get to hear all the whining from the rich people who can afford to leave their houses empty vs the desperation of the actual locals. The rich people are 100% fine with everything that supports the full time residents dying off so long as the proles are kept out.

Yes. That's the one bad thing about that pizza, impossible to reheat afterward or eat anything but freshly because lettuce wilts in no time.

Also here in small town usa the Cardinals Cubs game is getting way way more heated arguments going than the entire presidential election. (Which I'm mostly cool with)

My town has duck races on ice the last Saturday of January. It's a huge drunk fest and thousands of people come to it. 37th annual. Its the main fundraiser for the volunteer fire department for the year.

All the locals leave and go to the bar in the next town over for the day.

*notices that all parking in the first two rows is taken, pulls out handicap parking pass from glove compartment, walks briskly to ensure they get a good spot in line for the buffet*

Oh and here is someone I work with

*wears knee brace, won't take the steps up one flight, uses elevator, has expensive ergonomic desk*
*complains to HR who give her a secondary, standing desk*

"Doctors says my knees are like glass! I barely have any cartilage left!"

*dives Ford F350 to work, has to step up 14 inches up in order to enter vehicle*
*Parks in the handicap space closest to the front entrance*
*Meanwhile, two other employees in wheelchairs park in normal spots and never ask for accommodations*
