      - That's funny. You don't think Putin could get a guy on a plane and not announce it? Putin? -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 16:44 5
        
        I think Putin would rather just keep him in limbo to entertain the US without fully acquiescing -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 16:46 4

Republic Services [the local garbage men] are about to cut service to 1 day a week, and no price change. I am pissed and wrote the local CBS consumer - peglegpete Jul 2, 14:57 28
- I can't believe you all pay to have your garbage picked up and they only come once a week. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 16:42 4
  - Once a week for garbage and recycling (two different trucks) , Once a week for yard waste in season. -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 2, 16:58
  - It's three times a week here and it's just enough. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 16:44 2
    - Just how much trash do you generate? -- nm - TWuG Jul 2, 16:51 1
      - multi-unit dwelling, I assume. we have a dumpster. they pick up... sometime. -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 16:52
- at the house, they did garbage (2 bag max.) every other week and recycling/organics every week - zork Jul 2, 16:00
- Republic does 1 day/week around here, and I sometimes have trouble filling up my garbage and recycle bins. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 2, 15:50
- Heh We get garbage pu and curbside recycling once a week. It's amazing how little real garbage you have when you weed out paper, plastic, and glass. -- nm - Trish Jul 2, 15:25
- thank you all. I had no idea our service is good compared to a lot of other areas. I am less pissed, -- nm - peglegpete Jul 2, 15:11 5
  - I iwll say that I am willing to pay twice as much if I have to to *not* use Republic. - Spawn Jul 2, 15:19
  - I do think there's a valid complaint there for you, so hopefully CBS helps you out. There should be a price drop in tandem with service drop. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 15:14 3
    - they increased the recycling service and made it less work for customers, though; so it's not quite a simple doubling in price. I would question - b. Jul 2, 15:22 1
      - I just checked and san francisco's (recently dumped due to issues) deal was for 10 years, too. -- nm - b. Jul 2, 15:26

- ... you had trash service more than once per week? -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 15:02 12
  - that's true in a lot of cities. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 15:05
  - ... you NEEDED trash service more than once per week? - Beryllium Jul 2, 15:05 10
    - Three to four bags for me. Recycling I only need to bring out every other week. - Krusty Jul 2, 16:45 1
      - what the hell are you buying that you generate that much trash? -- nm - zork Jul 2, 16:51
    - Exactly on all counts (except the compost thing, which I do not even understand). -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 15:07 4
      - places around here give you a special green bin that closes (blue for regular recycling) where you put food waste -- nm - zork Jul 2, 16:42
      - Just start throwing veggie and fruit trash along with lawn clippings and leaves in a pile in the corner of your yard. - Trish Jul 2, 15:31 2
        
        My mower mulches as it goes so we have no leaves or grass. And our garbage disposal eats the food trash! -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 15:33 1
        
        We had our garbage disposal removed rather than replaced ... but now we're reconsidering. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 16:02
    - yah, most homes here are once a week, condos and apartment complexes once or twice; and everyone is meant to separate one way or another. -- nm - b. Jul 2, 15:07 2
      - Same here, except that the condo doesn't provide for recycling. - Meg Jul 2, 15:35 1
        
        huh, hardly ever hear of that anymore, outside of some more urban areas. - b. Jul 2, 15:41

- His biggest political achievement and he hasn't done shit to get the country ready for it -- nm - Bacon on Google Nexus 10 Jul 2, 14:51 26
  - Let's see...several governors have made sure they aren't ready. - the liioulu with Jul 2, 16:14
  - I wonder if others will be as reactionary as you in this regard. In reality, this is the obstructionist Congress' central achievement. - David Jul 2, 15:05 18
    - Members of his own party have said he's not doing enough. - Bacon Jul 2, 16:04 12
      - Baucus is also one of the senators who killed the public option, which could have made implementation much simpler and cheaper - charlie Jul 2, 16:06 11
        
        Is that what you wanted? -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 16:08 10
        
        The Public Option not him shutting up -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 16:09 9
        
        of course -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 16:16 8
        
        or a comparable private plan at similar cost. there are other variables, like which providers might participate in any given plan -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 16:18 7
        
        and what are you going to get stuck with now? -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 16:32 6
        
        "stuck" with full coverage through the California exchange for probably about $150/month -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 16:36 4
        
        I for one am glad you are getting insurance. After seeing something unexpected happen to Secretstalker, I want everyone to be covered. - Bacon Jul 2, 16:38 3
        
        i've had it since March through the Pre-Existing Condition Plan -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 16:42 1

        Did you say you were going to pay the penalty at one time? -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 16:33
    - [deleted]
    - See my note below. This has nothing to do with Congress. No one worked on it until SCOTUS review and the election. -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 15:07 3
      - You can not be serious. - Spawn Jul 2, 15:18
      - You say it's not Congress and yet -all- the budget chaos is self-inflicted by then. -- nm - David Jul 2, 15:13 1
        
        The President's budget didn't help fund the IRS either. - spamlet Jul 2, 16:40
  - My guess is that the IRS is simply overloaded as Congress keeps passing crap and cutting their budget. - spamlet Jul 2, 15:03
  - Better to delay than get the implementation wrong. -- nm - TWuG Jul 2, 14:56
  - HHS has spent this entire year setting up the health exchanges for all the red states that refused to implement their own -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 14:56
  - Well, seeing as how the house votes every three days to appeal it, he probably did not think it would make it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 14:52 2
    - He would have to sign the bill on any repeal and my guess is he wouldn't not to mention the Senate would block it first -- nm - Bacon on Google Nexus 10 Jul 2, 14:53 1
      - No one did anything prior to the SCOTUS review and are playing catch up. - spamlet Jul 2, 15:06
Spawn you are wrong on the backboard. Jacobs Ladder gets a D -- nm - Bacon on Google Nexus 10 Jul 2, 14:47 4
