good dude , rip

We are way overdue. Bring it on. Get truck prices back where they belong

A lot of the increase can come from water bans . I see it all the time . The area I work in isnt far from the now partialy closed fort devens army base. Yrs ago all local firefighters trained there with firefighting foam . Fast forward 35 yrs and we find out the foam had p fas forever chemicals in it. Towns start installing $100 million filtration buildings and pumping systems . Before they were finished, water could only come from wells that were not contaminated, resulting in limited available water. Now this is where basic math comes into play . These are just number to explain what happened and are not accurate. Say the water dept used to sell 100 million gallons and doing so generated 3 Million $ to run the water dept. Now with water bans on outdoor water use they only sell 15 million Gallons . They still need to generate $3 million to run the water dept. And then more money to pay for treatment facilities. Then add on that the cost of running the dpt goes up every yr with increases in employee pay , hc ins cost increases for employees , truck and equitment replacement cost increases ect. So a lot of people would say " fuck em , it's my l;awn , I pay my , bill Ill water whenever I want . Then they get their bill and lose their shit as it cost 3 times as much as it did before the ban.

.

Yes they do. And I am a fool for wanting them to respect how hard I work for my money . But 3/4 bill on one item does seem a little exessive

No, we are talking about 3/4 of a billion fucking dollars

USS Vicksburg, a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, is heading from Philadelphia toward Brownsville, Texas, for final dismantling after years in the U.S. Navy’s modernization program. Vicksburg entered the modernization effort in 2016 and received more than $750 million in upgrades and related work. Navy data reviewed by the Government Accountability Office placed the expenditure at about $745 million through September 2023, with later obligations bringing the reported figure to approximately $754.1 million. Despite reaching an estimated 85 percent completion milestone in 2022, the cruiser never returned to active fleet service. Officials cited the ship’s age, material condition, legacy systems and the additional resources required to complete the work. Vicksburg was formally decommissioned in June 2024 after more than three decades of service. Its departure highlights the difficulties the Navy faced while attempting to extend the service lives of aging Ticonderoga-class cruisers through extensive modernization
