  1. Every company alive is using technology to automate. There is nothing w/tax reform or their expenses that have triggered automation. But people sure as shit expect you to pay your employees more when those people still have to get govt assistance when corporate tax rate just fell 40%. It shouldnt take an army of bad press to see the "trickle down"

    Can we talk Beto/Willie concert parking?  I see the list of garages, I'd like to steer clear of all of that.  Normally for ACL I park on South Congress and pedicab in.  Any ideas where the pedicabs might be set up tonight?  Other ideas?

    Go to Hooters beforehand and leave receipt in between windshield wipers.

    Deserve’s got nothing to do with it, Little Lord Fuckface.

    As an heir to the Randall’s grocery fortune, which aside from sacking a few bags of groceries during your formative douchebag-in-training years you contributed nothing to, you should know this.

    He worked hard for that. Gonna get himself a ranch in South Texas and celebrate once 50 and he can crack that inheritance open.

  4. I've said before, maybe in this thread, but it's unreal how fast teenagers in DC suburbs get exposed to shit. I'm friends with a girl from Chevy Chase MD and the stories about her 2 youngest brothers partying balls because their parents "already took care of the girls" is way harder than most people partied at UT. 

    One brother came to Chicago and partied with us in Chicago at 14 with a fake and I thought nothing of it except an awesome fucking story. He intentionally wrapped his car around a pole at 18 trying to kill himself and I can only think it was coke fucking his head up from early exposure. There's a reason nobody stays there

    I am for these guys earning as much as they can.  I think police deserve more as the jobs are different.  Based on this site (no idea if accurate), base salary for fire fighters in Houston is essentially the same as Austin and Dallas.

    https://www1.salary.com/TX/Fire-Fighter-Salary.html

    Almost every firefighter I ever knew (almost all good guys/gals) had a second gig doing something mechanical related- sprinkler systems, light furniture manufacturing, yard work etc.   Stuff that could be done in garages and similar and that there was not a deadline for getting something done.  None of the cops I have known have second gigs as the schedule does not allow it.  On average firefighters have 20 days off per month but technically work more hours than 8-5ers because the hours are in 24 hour blocks.  On average, firefighters work 240 hours per month versus  184 for others.  There is also an almost unlimited ability for OT.  

    If they got promised a pension in exchange for salary and that changed then they deserve to have the difference made up.

    There are approximately 4000 firefighters in Houston with an average salary of about $46K.  A 32% raise would cost the city about $56,000,000.

    The pay is not the same. What Austin pays it's probies is what Houston guys make. Austin guys make 70k after  3 years. Dallas just went to 60k base.
