I felt it was safe enough to venture out to the dispensary, and get some pad Thai but it was slick in a few areas..
I've got at least a foot of snow everywhere and my power just came back on at 10:30 after being off all night....I feel lucky it is on so quickly....my sons neighbor in eugene had a tree fall on their house last night....
Made me go out and shovel out the drive and move my car out from under the tall trees at the end of the driveway....didn't want to see my car crushed and they're some big trees...one is a Sequoia Redwood
That's what happens when you allow media mergers until all media is owned by a few large corporations who care about nothing more than ever increasing profits. These workers listened to right wing shock jocks on the radio spewing hate disguised as news all day, every day.
I googled a few articles about that because of your tweet. A few things... Many of the drivers are seasonal. You have to have a CDL to drive a plow. Many states are having a shortage of plow drivers because they can make 2-3x as much driving commercially. Washington has 1500 snow plow positions. They lost 150 due to the vaccine. So this is a combination of factors with the primary being economics and the 2nd being the vaccine. Considering that 67.7% of Washington's population has received at least 2 doses of the vaccine the vaccination rate of plow drivers has considerably higher than the state's average.
