North Island repair shop busts Navy's budget
An awful lot of that expense is going to be for administration, bureaucrats, multiple layers of procurement people, etc. Any government program becomes an enormous rice bowl, with hundreds or thousands of people all dipping their beaks in. Hammers and toilet seats don't cost the government $600, but that's what they wind up paying after all these layers get involved.— July 8, 2015 12:41 p.m.
Child beggars of Point Loma
This has been known for YEARS. I hope everyone stops giving money to these worthless parasites. And yes, that's what they all are. Even the ones holding "disabled vet" signs. It's all BS. They're liars and thieves and drug users who have one goal... to get over on you. Oh, how I wish we could go back to the days when "panhandling" earned you a one-way ticket out of town the first time, a beating and a ticket the second time, and a trip to the ER if you were dumb enough to come back again.— July 8, 2015 12:16 p.m.
Welcome to Mexico. $22.50, please
I'm guessing they're looking for people to pay for the visa in cash on the spot?— June 29, 2015 2:50 p.m.
Swiss secrecy bolsters soccer corruption
Not to mention, the only ones insisting that a new stadium is a necessity are the Chargers. Everyone else is content with the Q and the rent they pay there as opposed to the rent in a brand-new facility.— June 24, 2015 12:38 p.m.
Dishonor among Varrio Fallbrook Locos
Legalize it. We'll cut the gangs and cartels and smugglers off at the knees while saving billions in "enforcement", courts, prison, "treatment", etc.— June 24, 2015 12:23 p.m.
Stuck in the rough
I fully support SITR & Michael Schlesinger over the ECCHO attempted land-grab. However, so long as we're supposed to be in a drought, there should be no building permits issued. If a single permit is issued in the County, then I completely reject the idea that I should cut my water use by one drop.— June 24, 2015 12:21 p.m.
Swiss secrecy bolsters soccer corruption
What's really funny are the people who say, "We should build a stadium, it isn't just for the Chargers, it can be for soccer, too!" Like we don't have enough corruption and handouts now!— June 24, 2015 12:16 p.m.
Learn Latin or buy bicycle insurance? Hmm...
California's liability requirements are absurdly low. They should be raised. Yes, that will mean some people can't afford it and can't drive. Tough. Anyone who crunches someone else and can't pay should sit in prison until they make their victim whole, and if that's "never", well, it's a long time for their victim, too. Besides the $300K liability he suggests, get an umbrella policy, too.— June 24, 2015 12:14 p.m.
But what are we manufacturing?
How on Earth could teachers be considered "unemployed" when they're still being paid? Sounds like another move by the CTA to bleat for more money, fatter benefits, and spiking pensions higher.— June 19, 2015 3:58 p.m.
Three of clubs
"A former employee of 4th&B says the City of San Diego is losing $40,000 a month in sales tax, a figure based on previous 4th&B revenue." That implies that the City is somehow "owed" that money, and the fact that it isn't rolling in is somehow "wrong". It also presupposes that every dollar that would have been spent at 4th & B isn't being spent somewhere else. Language like that sounds suspiciously like the excuses used to justify an attempt to subsidize a new stadium for the Chargers with hundreds of millions of dollars of public money... "There's this great fountain of revenue waiting for us, this is an investment, we should use tax money to make this happen, and it's OK that a private owner rakes in all the profits because we'll see more tax revenue!" Wrong. All we accomplish is rearranging where the revenue comes from. This is a non-issue.— June 19, 2015 9:20 a.m.
