Those racist little bastards!

View attachment 8138995
I just had a thought. Wouldn’t we all be happier if we didn’t take everything as racism? What if we changed our attitude and took all “racist” things and looked at them as terms of endearment? Shouldn’t we celebrate and be proud of our cultural and racial differences? After all, variety is the spice of life.

If you aren't at least three isms, ists and/or phobes, you're doing something wrong.

Alert, alert...

A few years ago I subcontracted for a contractor that did insurance work. Because of the building boom he had a difficult time finding subs in all of the building trades. No one had the time or man power to do his jobs. They were too busy with the contractors that were giving them year round work.
A person that was building their own house was shit out of luck for any tradesman. No way was I going to get involved with someone that couldn't keep a schedule and trying to work around other unfamiliar tradesman.

Edit: I would be burning the ears off of my insurance agent and up the chain.
@DarnYankeeUSMC What's the situation like in the trades these days? I inherited a house build project that my cousin was doing in 2021. He got the foundation done, before he died. At the time, I reached out to 6 or 7 generals to finish the build. Got zero bids.

Since then, been dealing the the estate, courts, and some issues with the building permits; but i about ready to start again. Is the contractor situation is a little better in 2023?
 
That's a lot of fish.
Maybe you own a store or a restaurant and sell commercially.

No to the restaurant. But live in a coastal fishing town with wife, 3 boys, a father, 3 brothers and we all fish. So we usually do a few batches a year to can and freeze.

My compliments to you sir
well done
I had a good friend that canned smoked salmon.
Sadly, she passed away.
If you need some of that canned smoked salmon properly disposed of PM me for a shipping address.

That’s exactly correct. Once upon a time it was perfectly fine to be happy with who you are and even make fun of the differences between peoples. The turning of tolerance into intolerance is one of those things done to create friction where there was none and divide us as a country. It has succeeded remarkably well.

Not right now in my area. There's very few small contractors. Most of them are doing subdivisions, Apt complexes and multiple town houses. So the subs are busting ass to keep up with the schedule. Besides, subs can't find anyone that wants to work.
The contractors that were doing 8 to ten houses a year are gone.

I work alone. I've got 4 houses backed up with 3 more after that. No signs of slowing down just yet.
