City of Lawrence begins using new automated trash truck
The wonders of technology!
Soon the truck won't need a driver. There are already driverless cars in existence.
More jobs eliminated.
There are already too few jobs for those who want and need them.
And to think I used to scoff at the idea of Singularity.
It's real, it's here, get used to it.

Attorney general seeks $1.2 million to defend new laws
There's no understanding these people. They scream about too much government infringement by way of too many laws upon their lives, about the government wasting their money. What do they see themselves doing?
I don't believe anyone believes in abortion, per se, but it is at times necessary. Restrictive laws such as they have passed only hurt poor women. Wealthy woman have always had access to and will continue to have access to abortion.
Oops, I forgot for a minute that this administration hates the poor.
Oh and be sure not to miss the aticle in today's paper about the huge tax deficit we are facing. Again, this burden falls on the poor.

Editorial: City salaries
If you are concerned about people being paid fairly, then surely you would support an ordinance (or whatever it should be called) setting the minimum wage in Lawrence at at least $12 an hour. $8-$10 an hour is not a living wage. There are many more people than students and second incomers here who must try to live on that wage.
$12 an hour might begin to meet the bare basics.

Departing commissioner urges debate on increasing pay of Lawrence city commissioners
Amen!

Departing commissioner urges debate on increasing pay of Lawrence city commissioners
Some of us exist here on $25,000 and less.
Sound impossible? We find it hard to believe it, too.
Before anyone starts screaming about social services, in this case there are none.
Before the recession, had a somewhat decent wage - no longer.
When our leaders are treated like kings, they begin to believe they are, and those lesser become invisible.

Departing commissioner urges debate on increasing pay of Lawrence city commissioners
Sure, how about a pension and life-time health insurance.
While the city pays a little better wage than businesses overall, I'd be more interested in a city backed initative to raise wages overall in Lawrence. $8-$10 an hour is not a living wage.
Allowing them to raise their own wage is stupidity.
But then, this is a rich man's town.

Amyx, Farmer, Riordan win election to Lawrence City Commission
Why do I even bother to vote.
Wish I could leave this rich man's town.

Letter: USPS response
The USPS was having financial problems before the internet.
Too much administration and not enough workers.
Top heavy.
