Reply to comment by J-daddy96 in I guess we just don't salt/sand the roads anymore? by operator_1337

Wait. So we are responsible for spreading salt and sand on our own road that we live on? If so, I'd like all my taxes back that go toward the city's department of public works if they are no longer required to handle getting the roads in order after an ice or snowstorm.

No, but you are responsible for having proper clothing and a car that can function in the winter. Maybe even a snow shovel and some sand/salt. When we have an ice event, like we just had, all bets are off, so refer to instructions at the top. Were you not around for the ice storm in ‘08? Were you a little kid? All bets are off for acts of nature. Not recommended is complaining, because even if you direct it towards the ice, it will not melt. Forgive me, because it’s Sunday and my manager is not in. But if you can wait until tomorrow, you can reach her at 1-800-iamabigbaby. Her name is Mother Nature and she won’t be as patient and caring as I am. Thank you for understanding, Karen, and we’ll see you again this week, for sure…😘

So you don't have the reading comprehension to understand that this post and the thread is about the roads? It's not my fucking job to sand and salt my entire road, that's the job of the dpw...the dept my tax dollars go toward. If they can't bother sending a single plow or salt/sand truck to my neighborhood in almost 4 days that's off a main road, then I should get my taxes that went to the dpw refunded. I was here for the ice storm in 2008, you little twerp, and it was far and above worse than this latest ice storm on Thursday. But still... I remember salt trucks STILL going around after the storm salting and sanding all the roads AND clearing the trees that fell into the streets. I distinctly remember that because I lived on a steep hill and was happy my road got salted because I had to head to work.

Goddamn Aiden.... it's just not worth it for you to keep making alts. Spend your energy on turtleboy and your failing marriage.

What the hell is with you bootlicking the DPW? Do you work for them, and this is why you are so impassioned to disregard every single example of them not doing their taxpayer-funded job on the roads this winter? Does "harden tf up" translate to me spending a thousand dollars on dozens of bags of salt and sand only then to spread it myseld over the length of the roads I live on that funnel into a main road? If so, can I get a refund on the hundreds of dollars of taxes that I pay to the state to cover road clearing and upkeep? Being prepared for winter in NE has exactly zero to do with the issue of the DPW being inept and incapable of their jobs of salting the roads and plowing. If I'm paying for a service, I damn well should see people doing said service. And that has fuck all to do with what kind of winter clothing I have or my AWD car.

Truly....what the hell does "harden tf" mean to you?

Edit: Instead of replying or even clarifying why he's OK with the DPW not doing their job on the residential roads this winter... he's going into personal DMs to reply with shit like, "Why are you such a giant pussy? Are you trying to get an endorsement deal from Tampax?".

This guy is too scared to say anything on the public thread. 🤣 Plus, a tampon has much more use than this guy has.
