Safe Roads

 Bad Trucking

Disclaimer. For those who read Virtual Mirage, LL beat me to this.

On just I-80 estimate place 6,000+ big rigs traveling daily through Wyoming. The operation below lasted three days, targeted trucks using county roads to evade the ports of entry, and resulted in 20% of the trucks taken off the road either for illegal operators and/or defective trucks.

 Given these drivers were willfully breaking the law; it is difficult to tell how many trucks pass the ports using pre-pass are not in compliance.

 PrePass is an electronic clearance system for commercial trucks that uses a transponder or mobile app to allow qualified vehicles to bypass weigh stations and ports of entry at highway speeds\

1%, 5%, more? As everyone clutches their pearls about how the turmoil in the trucking industry will raise costs of everything, this citizen will pay more for safer roads and professional drivers.

 I would put down a bet that everyone who might read this has been behind a semi on the Interstate passing other semis with a 1-2 mph speed differential. Professional drivers don’t do that, often.

Wolves + LGBTQ

 Seems the current CPW director is stepping down. Not to worry, he is staying on the state payroll, just in a different position. The interim director will be a National Guard Major General.

Campaign Violations?

No worries, just the current Attorney General (who wants to be Governor) and the Secretary of State who oversees elections. There is nothing to see here folks; just move along.

Pareto’s Law

Came across this on LL’s Virtual Mirage and thought of variants.

My middle aged son is high on the Asperger Scale, with a near photographic memory and the ability to do complex math in his head. Likewise, he is far down the social ability scale. Worse, he can’t be bothered. At work, he is reliable, on time, and will go all shifts without talking unless it is directly work related.

 He was recently fired from a production job because he didn’t get along with “fat Mexican women”. The HR department, tired of their bitching, decided to get rid of him instead of dealing with the bitches. Decided to get rid of an 20%er to keep the 80%er's happy.

 Modern management practice.

Placate the 80%, who are causing 80% of your personnel problems, by getting rid of the 20% who makes you a profit.

 As always, YMMV
