This is such a dumb comment. People shouldn’t be rejected opportunities just because the people before them didn’t have those opportunities.

You really hate poor people that much, huh?

Are you having to explain to coworkers? I’m confused by what the overall motive is of your post. I completely sympathize with long commutes in this area. If you are remote, and it works for you and your employer, that’s all that really matters. You shouldn’t have to justify it to anyone. Sometimes optics are more important than productivity, which could be the reason why many places are requiring more in-person work. I encourage anyone to advocate for telework. You’ve done nothing wrong and if you are getting your work done, it shouldn’t matter where it gets done.

Nothing. But a Reddit post isn’t the place to do so. Call the county and provide your input. Posting your opinion here just opens the door for criticism and won’t result in any action, if it is just.

You’re right. However, what you just stated didn’t actually happen, and a helicopter needing to take person(s) to shock trauma did. You are not an EMT, you are not a police officer, you are not an EMS employee, so please stop acting like you know better than the folks who’s job it is to do this stuff.

My brother, a helicopter had to land on 29 to take someone to shock trauma. You getting your jalapeño poppers shouldn’t be prioritizing over trying to save lives.

While I understand your frustration, "picking them better" is just not a good solution. Until there are manufacturers with better QC and a passable overall product, we are stuck. Runners and/or companies that you speak of are not the problem here.

The above question is irrelevant to this conversation my man. Since you think you are reinventing the wheel here, I’ll answer it. Small business take out business loans. That being said, if I was running a small business, and my customer were willing to pay me up front (similar to a group buy) and I didn’t need to take out a business loan, I would 100% do it. But why aren’t small businesses doing this? Because their customers won’t pay for it. In the group buy model that we have here, they do. That should tell you straight up that these two things are very different and that a solution for a small business is not going to automatically be a solution for a group buy.

Keyset designers are 100% never going to take out a business loan. It will never happen. And as I’ve said before GBs are in shambles right now, but I’m not going to advocate for something that is arguably worse.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Running a keyset group buy is very different from anything you are suggesting. The group buy model for keysets has been around for years and has only really become a problem since lead times have gotten out of control.

This is a terrible idea. Even if I take months and craft what I think is the perfect keyset, and hell even if I do an interest check and get 1000 entries, there is no guarantee of a return on investment. I’d also have to pay interest on said loan which means the cost of these sets would be higher than they are now. People who run GBs knows that they are in terrible shape right now, and they also know that the alternative is much riskier and worse for everyone. Terrible idea.

Google Maps. Just draw a line from each runway. It’s not going to be perfect since take offs can really go anywhere but landings are going to likely be a straight line for a good number of miles

Clearly, no!
