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.MORE
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

And management lets HR get away with this sh_t every time.
I tried to get a job in HR once. But it turned out I wasn't qualified because a background check discovered that my parents were married at the time of my birth.
I detect a certain level of hostility.
Sorry to hear that, but not surprised. I'm betting 'she' would have played the race/female cards hard, loud, and dramatically... Your son, the quiet one, went without a fight... sigh
He has contacted a lawyer but doesn't want to pay the retainer until he has another job. He can be outspoken when he wants. I believe he did so after he was told he was fired.
"... behind a semi on the Interstate passing other semis with a 1-2 mph speed differential."
A fairly regular occurrence, especially on both I-70 and I-80.
Here's some good news, finally some sanity:

That is good news. Regeneration and/or limp mode in a Wyoming blizzard is dangerous. A cousin does hot shot with a Ram 3500 and goose neck trailer out of Casper. He had several occasions that put him in jeopardy. He now runs an illegally altered truck. Man needs to feed his family.
