Don't be trying to ship them north. We learned long ago to avoid flood damaged cars

Something I read said there may end up being a million flood cars.

We have been sitting on over 6,000 re-called VW diesels ever since that program started. We have no room for flooded cars. I hope they are planning on scrapping them. There is no way to make good a car that has been submerged in water once it gets to the dash. I did have a friend whos new pickup went through the ice and sat on the bottom of a lake for over a week. After he got it out he bought it back from the insurance company, replaced a few parts and left it in another friends big dryer used to reduce the moisture content of lumber for a week. He got it running but sold it soon after. I never heard how long it lasted after that.

I know a guy who scored top in his firefighter exam. He got passed over like 5 times.

I knew a guy who needed to score in the 90's to get in but a minority only needed to be in the 70's.

He gave up after a couple of tries.

I know a guy............ Wait! That guy was me!

I was passed over several times for a civil service job due to race and/or gender. I realized that was the norm at the time.

Then, Parcel hired me...........



Oh, yeah. All the white guys who beat me out were vets. Like I said, those were the rules, and I accepted them.

They are never the same but you can usually get them to run for a while. Better to scrap them for parts.

with all the computer crap and electronics on the newer stuff no way in hell would you get all the bugs worked out for long.

Like getting passed over for civil service jobs in order to meet number.

I scored a 98 out of 100. Never got the call....

Irish are supposed to be cops instead of firemen anyway.

That's what I tried for.

I don't remember the numbers, but I scored high here in the Commonwealth (cue smart-assed remark from OnG), but I also understood the rules.

Those aren't the rules though. That's reverse discrimination at its worst.


Like I've said. No one truely wants a level playing field

I'm talking possibly before you were born.

I understood the justification, and just accepted it.

Because we all know there is no possible way a minority can score higher than a white male, right?

 

[Operational needs]

I highly doubt that's what he meant.

Well, maybe an Asian

Yes ... know stfu

No that's what that whole discussion is about. There is no such thing as reverse discrimination. It's a copout and proven to be a false narrative.
