It's crazy to me that your health care is dictated by your company that you work for.

Companies are known to try make money not spend it.

I say this sitting in a hospital now at 1am with my wife cause she's having very bad pains during pregnancy all for free, despite them saying we will likely have to drive 20kms to the next hospital because this one is underfunded and understaffed

Brilliant i say Brilliant

I hate were i live, it's our coldest time in the year and tomorrow's high is 32.

36 is normal during the hot time of year along with massive humidity too

Were you picked on at school because of it?

It's wild, I can't smell Def at all.

I'll give you the fact it's nightmare to repair especially on plant machinery.

Constant issues haha

To add to this as a Diesel mechanic,

Diesel engines are designed to operate continuously for the most part, the most wear and tear on the engines happen during start up and shut down.

They take large batteries and more effort to start so repeatedly doing that over and over in short intervals will lead to flat batteries and burnt out starter motors

Diesel engines run most efficiently I.e less pollution and better fuel economy when warm, cold engines cause more soot etc.

The engines wear poorly and develope carbon deposits from stop start operations too increasing fuel consumption and NOX emissions.

Lastly but certainly not the end of it is most Diesel trucks have what's known as a turbo timer, this keeps the engine running 2 minutes or more depending on settings after the ignition is turned off.

This allows oil flow around the turbo and prevents unnecessary heat damage to components.

Certainly if i applied some thought to this i could come up with more reasons and others could argue against but that's what I've got to say on the matter

Great write up, solid work thank you

No you're holding it up as a one item agenda, the marijuana party didn't get in either but tons of cunts love weed

Not based off of one issue.

I tried to read it to the tune of we didn't start the fire, and it kinda works you just gotta put some flavour in it and you can be the next weird Al

No, that's wrong.

You can't elect a party on one issue, three entire election is multifaceted you can't try claim because the greens said the were against genocide and no one voted for them it's simply due to that.

The greens could have lost on any of their other policies with their views on genocide being ignored.

Look at America, good old "genocide Joe", lost the election being supposedly pro genocide while trump was going to fix it.

No one is elected on one issue

Yes but governments can't make massive changes in legislation easily and small incremental changes over time can achieve the same results.

Like they say, don't let perfection be the enemy of good
