North Island Navy jet repair depot hit by audit
I worked for the rework facility, part time, for 3 years as an engineering student. At graduation, they offered me full time a job. But, a military contracting company beat their offer by 60%. So where do you think I went? And besides being trained there, and a being a veteran myself, to boot, they couldn't even pay me enough (as a degreed electrical engineer) to afford to buy a house in San Diego. With the contracting company job, I bought my first house a year after graduation. So I'm not at all surprised. You get what you pay for, right?— May 14, 2019 2:54 a.m.
Union-Tribune online numbers plunge 22.44 percent
Fascinating. I used to pay UT for weekend deliveries and online access. I gave them access to my credit to bill me regularly. Then the billing became irregular. Different amounts, different times of the month. I was suspicious, but I didn't question it. Then I retired. I had time. I pulled up all charges from 2013 to 2018. Yearly, their automatic charges went from $220 in 2013 to $660 in 2017. So you betcha I canceled those suckers. That's the reason I don't trust them.— March 30, 2019 5:26 a.m.
South Park woman's anti-scooter crusade
It seems to me, that if these are indeed a motorized vehicle, and can only be operated legally on the street, then their parking should be restricted also to the street. That is, they should be curbed, or in a driveway, or a designated parking spot. I ride a motorcycle and I can't legally just park it on a sidewalk anywhere (although I know many younger riders do). If that requirement was initiated and enforced by local authorities, then at least the walkway blocking problem might be solved. Just an idea. More burdens for the police.— February 11, 2019 6:55 a.m.
Transient beat down at Pedro's Taco Shop
I probably would agree on the worthless trash part, though— November 18, 2018 11:47 a.m.
Transient beat down at Pedro's Taco Shop
Not sure if your Mayor Kev boy has a lot of pull in Oceanside.— November 18, 2018 11:44 a.m.
Saldaña hits Dems on private prison cash
While I agree somewhat on that assessment of her weight and confusion of his attraction to her, my question to you is, are you married? And while your comments are usually informed and insightful, why in the world are you getting completely off-subject here? If you're so concerned with appearances, show us yourself. Surely that's not your photo we're looking at.— June 20, 2018 5:16 a.m.
Engineer falls to death at Qualcomm
Had not heard of this in local news. One question I'd like answered: Was he an H-1B hire?— June 20, 2018 4:56 a.m.
County unemployment rate keeps rising
Poff. A carriage without a horse?!. Poppycock. Whoever heard of such a thing. It's a fad. It'll never catch on.— August 24, 2016 8:28 p.m.
Issa introduces bill to thwart H-1B abuse
I'm not an Issa fan, but I'm glad he's doing something about this. Surprised, too. I have an EE degree from SDSU, but it was relatively useless here in San Diego competing with every Tom , Dick and Jugdish from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. My salvation is working as a field engineer, which is essentially an electrician/mechanic. Not a lot of H-1Bs fighting for my job (it's sometimes dirty,nasty, and requires a strong ability to work alone). I wish this bill was prominently in the news. Even in our local paper. Tanks for posting it.— July 25, 2016 11:35 p.m.
San Diegans live well but pay for it
Have been a San Diegan since 1975. Moved here (from Detroit) at age of 22, with nothing but a vehicle and about $500. Got a job (and apartment) 2nd day here. Joined the Army, (from here), served one tour overseas, and came back with GI Bill to help pay for Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from SDSU. I own 2 properties in San Diego, and two elsewhere in California. If you work hard, study hard, plan ahead, don't expect everyone to give you a handout, and don't spend all your time bitchin', then you can make it here. I'm proof. Surprising as it may seem, even with all my hard work diatribe, I still lean way left politically. Which is a another benefit of San Diego. This place becomes more my town with every election. As for lack of housing, read the Sac Bee writers about all the NIMBY rules on land availability (or lack of) in our State. Free up 5 % more land and you'd have a housing boom like Texas.— July 13, 2016 7:45 a.m.
