    I just got a disturbing phone message on the land line (I ignore certain area codes I don't recognize/anything from the States).

    Electronic voice trying to sound normal."Yeah...give me a call. It's about a check we have for you...thanks very much."

    Holy creepy

    I think some companies do this just to wear people down. At one point he gave up, but not after saying to me about halfway through trying - It's the principle of the matter!
    Pretty sure they make all those hoops you have to jump thru and super long lead times to send them back to you so you give up and they get to keep the rebate money.

    Imagine Stephen Hawking telling a bad joke while trying to sound conversational

    Another cop shot and killed in Colorado (and three others shot and wounded), this time down in Colorado Springs, about 70 miles south of Denver. That's three killed in the last 5 weeks.

    What I don't get, honestly, is that people see the results of their desire for "progress" over and over again all over the place, and yet they still keep pushing for it. Are people really this stupid?

    Yup, the failure of the liberal policies keep piling up, but the bad stuff (of which there is a lot) gets swept under the rug. Denver is turning into a crappy place. I've watched it go steadily downhill in the 20+ years I've been here and there are no signs of it stopping. Especially since Colorado has had an uber liberal governor the last several years and the mayor of Denver (as well as other surrounding suburb cities) are openly pro-illegals and declare themselves sanctuary cities.

    They just double down and claim that if they pass even more liberal policies it will "fix" everything.

    That's really sad that you have to change jobs, sell your home, change everything...uproot your entire lives for that reason.

    If you come to Canada, you have a reference

    It is kind of sad, but in the long run I think it will be for the best. I'm over city life, I'm sick of all the people.
