    Caltrans officials love huffing car exhaust. One woman got tired of it.

    “Ward-Waller alleged that Caltrans improperly described the first project as “pavement rehabilitation” when it will actually widen the road to accommodate new lanes. Because of that, she said, it’s illegally using state funds that are intended only for road maintenance, not widening.”

    She’s a hero for blowing the lid on that. Super sketchy and gross misuse of funds.

      It’s CalTrans, not CalCars. As it turns out, there are other ways of transporting humans and things that are not cars.

      Closer to they forgot that signing up for a gov job is inherently political, and you need to read the ebb and flow of the department. Subway focus for four years, cars the next, etc etc

        She reported fraud. Caltran was trying to use maintenance money for expansion.

    Why are there like 20 fuckcars communities, and why do you post in every single one of them? “All” is spammed with your posts.

      Browses ALL, sees repeated content

      surprised Pikachu

      Look, if four posts over three communities by two people on ALL make your user experience unbearable and prompt you to complain, maybe it’s time to talk to someone and take some time off the internet…

      In the meantime, while you’re complaining, would you mind asking the Iranians (?) to keep it down, they’re sPAmMiNg ALL right now, thanks luv

        I love how any complaint on here has to have an insult-laden retort by a pedantic little pissant like you taking it to an extreme and detailing that it’s time to get off the Internet.

        If only the world was full of more people like you, then we’d never need to have new features or upgrades. Look, if one complaint makes your user experience unbearable to the point that you feel the need to be an insufferable blowhard, maybe it’s time to talk to someone and take some time off the internet…

        Go be annoying somewhere else. Thanks luv…

        Right, but by blocking them we lose the content entirely which is also not ideal.

        Lemmy/kBin really need a system to merge duplicate links/posts across instances.

            Thanks, I appreciate the support.

            FWIW, I would also love to have a merged view for crossposted threads – or for entire similar communities, for that matter. I suspect somebody’s working on it, but it seems like one of those things where the details start getting really tricky once you get into it.

      You can block subs.
