The tenant never showed and the lib magistrate threw my case out anyway. “ I am not satisfied that you properly served the defendant “ I guess certified mail was not good enough. To evict a deadbeat in Delaware, you must hire a lawyer to make it work. Represent yourself and the scum magistrate gets annoyed. I hired a lawyer, and six months later, I had my totally destroyed and unlivable house back. I sued the deadbeat and attached his wages when he refused to pay. <br /><br />I fixed the house up and sold it. I tell people to never buy a rental in Delaware unless you are “ in “ with a lawyer. I used the money to pay off all my debts. <br /><br />Recently, I read about a lack of affordable housing in Delaware. I wonder if that had anything at all to do with the difficulty in evicting deadbeats? Nah!

Up to 12 or more in the really big stores, like Walmart.<br /><br />You know how many of those lanes are actually open at one time on average? TWO. That's right, TWO. Maybe three at the major outlets, maybe four on a really good day at Walmart. THAT'S why self-checkout is popular.<br /><br />Sure, self-checkout has its own pitfalls at times. Sometimes the computer crashes. Sometimes you arrive during amature hour when every self-checkout is being used by people who don't have a f'n clue what they're doing and it takes them 10 minutes to scan three items. It happens.<br /><br />But don't give me this crap about self-checking "taking away jobs". You obviously never had that many people apply for cashier positions to begin with. Either that, or the stores aren't hiring them. I KNOW this, because I see mostly empty lanes all the damn time.<br /><br />It's bad enough that you don't let people pump their own damn gas. This is almost as bad as the knuckleheads that want to ban drive-thru's to "save the climate".<br /><br />Shut the f'k up, and let people live their lives.<br /><br />That is all.David Whollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-57295251265981181742020-01-28T06:54:13.635-08:002020-01-28T06:54:13.635-08:00I can sort of understand the logic behind it - you...

Gee, how about giving us a law that limits 1 car per family? This will enable all those horseshoe, buggy & buggy whip manufactures to get back in business & employee people. Just think how many workers we’ll need to make all that stuff so we’ll all be able to get around. And think of the reduction of pollutants we’ll save using horse transportation (ooops, strike that, horsecrap has methane gas – but then again, think of the pooper scooper jobs we will need!) <br /><br />And since when does a govt entity get to tell me how to run my (or anybody’s) business? If I am the owner & I paid for it, then only I have the sole control & dominion over it. And if I want nothing but self-checkout counters only for my store, then that’s my decision and no one else’s, especially govt’s. And if you don't like it? Tough Shit! Go shop somewhere else. It’s my store, not your’s. <br /><br />This proposed ballot measure is the stuff of banana republics, not the USA I used to know. Since Oregon borders The People’s Republic and with all the Californiacs moving there for the last 30 years, is it any wonder Oregon is trying to set a new standard for liberal lunacy?Buzzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-25804081858489273282020-01-27T15:09:21.863-08:002020-01-27T15:09:21.863-08:00It already surprises me that, given the amount of ...It already surprises me that, given the amount of shoplifting going on in California and Washington metro areas, convenience stores haven't simply restricted customers to a walled-in foyer area and made the cashiers do the shopping for customers behind walls. <br /><br />I know that Wal-Mart is already experimenting with fully automated stores that are, in effect, gigantic vending machines, where you place your order online and simply pay at a kiosk out front, where some bags and crates are dispensed with your goods after payment. No staff, no janitors, no shoplifters, far less overhead; just a couple of robotics technicians to keep everything running and a couple more to load merchandise. Then customer service and sales labor restrictions can bite the big one. <br /><br />I, for one, welcome our robot overlords. I'm fed up with our corrupt fleshy overlords as it is.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333577934420526059noreply@blogger.com
