Most people who trip and fall put their hands out in front of them and don't use their inflated chests to cushion the fall. Those must have been some airbags!— December 23, 2017 7:40 a.m.

A crystal-ball view into San Diego’s 2018 economy
The typical hourly job in San Diego pays $12 -$14 an hour for 30 hours as listed on Manpower San Diego's job list. There are some jobs in the $14 -$17 hour rate. To put this in perspective a Walmart worker getting paid $11 an hours, 40 hours a week is $22,000 a year. With the average rent at $1800 is $21,600 a year. Two Walmart workers would have to live together just to survive and they still would be below the poverty level and still need welfare to get by. One of Manpowers's $14 an hour jobs (advertised at 30 hours) puts them at the same income level as a Walmart worker. Even with the so called middle income tax cut most of the non salaried jobs will leave the 200,000 restaurant, hotel, tourist and service employees living well below the poverty line. In San Diego the middle class does not include anyone who is employed by the hour. The Tax Bill my lower the payroll taxes but for those working in the $11 - $15 range the money will not result in enough increase in income to enable those workers to buy a coffee at Starbucks.— December 20, 2017 8:17 a.m.

"Landmark" pine tree the culprit
Let me see if I understand this. The tree that fell was a landmark tree on public right-of-way and the City is counter suing the HOA. What could or should have done about the tree? They had no control over the tree or it's maintenance. I hope the City has to pay for the death and that they have to pay for the HOA legal fees. They better hope I am not chosen for the jury.— December 20, 2017 7:39 a.m.
Gas thieves drill truck's tank

Tegna's big San Diego media play
The article led with "As San Diego Republicans fret over organized labor's rising clout," but nothing was mentioned in the article. Just what "clout" are the San Diego Republicans fretting? Are the Republicans worried that employees might want better wages and benefits or that they my want a contract with their employers? Or that they might want a voice in the workplace?— December 20, 2017 7:31 a.m.
