It's been a full week guys! FINALLY got decent internet connection on my phone to make this rant!

So the entire time, besides tree removal, there was virtually NO electrical work being done that wasn't in direct line of traffic. Virtually no work at all. Me and my wife drive around a lot and the only thing we seen one them fixing one line that didn't even look bad, driving around 3 trucks deep doing absolutely nothing and standing around in 6 man groups trying to get over time.

It seems by easy deduction that they PURPOSELY chose Gary and it's connecting cities to be fixed last... 100k people's sounds about the Ball Park of the entire Gary, griffith, portage and a few orher places.

Not one neighborhood here had power when in reality Gary was one of if not the first city built on the power grid. Im TIRED of hearing "it's not racism" yet from MY VIEW any time black people are affected ( New Orleans comes to mind instantly) black people and whoever connected to them (I think of the racist term for white people who like black people) get shafted. Its pretty simple to see.

Why would the ENTIRE CITY be out of power for a whole week so far, half of the people have no internet service on their phones... This isn't the first time in history this has happened and Id also like to point out that Nipsco has been found to have conducted racist practices and actually had to pay fines for it a few years back.

Its kind of crazy, I wouldn't even BE making this post if it wasn't for the ENTIRE CITY (I am not being dramatic, no one here has power) not having power. I wouldn't have even cared if it was me who didn't get power first but this is sickening.

America needs to change. Im tired of this country, the corporations, wealthy or wealthy ISH surburbanites and the selfishness of people and the racist tactics used against black people that are constantly justified ESPECIALLY here in Indiana.

Just look at how people tried to justify a multi million dollar corporation pulling out (all work? Wasn't long but meh) of here because ONE truck got shot at? Foh when is that ever an acceptable tactics? Only to the quiet racist who are vocal online.

Another thing, if you don't like Gary or black people, stop using ours streets and using Gary as a detour smh.

Edit: An hour after I wrote this my power came on and they were working all around my area.

You can literally tell someone directly what you feel on a subject and they will have their own interpretation to what you "ACTUALLY" mean. Everyone has this idea that they are the "main character" in any situation and that is understandable wheb everyone has their own thoughts but when it gets in the way of you understanding a solid talking point, it's more egotistical than anything.

I'm not even sure if I personally am really trying to make real connections anymore because everything in today's world is so combative and competitive even when it doesn't have to be.

Everyone has opinions they push like factual information and want to debate everything they dont agree with instead of actually researching if their own points are right.

I see why certain groups and clubs mention they "don't talk about" XYZ and just try to find a space where they can enjoy and connect with people, it's the same thing with religion to me but that seems like a cheap and fake way to find happiness to me.

I want REAL connection like back when I was growing up before the internet but when it was just starting out. Life was fun when you would meet people and genuinely want to be their friend. Everything wasn't an argument, everyone wasn't trying to be #1 in WHATEVER space they were in.

The internet has ruined society in a warped way. I LIKE the idea of the individual and the "think for yourself" mentality but when so many people think that, for better words, matter more than they do or don't want to be "a part" of anything but WANT TO be apart of something it's hard to meet people who are fully genuine and not glazing their own ego.

So I'm not a novice at all. I've done them plenty of times over the years but every time I am going to do over 2.5g I have this fear that consumes me and sometimes I just decide not to do them.

What do you guys do to get over the fear of the onset? I LOVE how I feel afterwards besides the body feeling. FYI I do have a lot of anxiety and mental anguish normally. Is it normal to be scared even after doing them so many times?

Ok so I had an idea. If I COULD get 3 to 4 shipping containers and use them to store fireworks while selling through marketplace and doing set buys, is it worth trying?

Like I really think I can do something here where I am. I'm just trying to see like, If I have the storage space and can sell through multiple avenues, how much money would I need to buy the first shipments? Where do I go to find the right suppliers that have the things I need?

Ok so I bought the car without the speaker working. Changed rear speakers both work, the right speaker is the door works but is blown. Front driver side speaker doesn't want to work even after being replaced but Im pretty positive I can hear the tweeter underneath the windshield working. What gives? I've installed amps and speakers into my other cars but this premium audio bullshit has been a headache since the start. Car does have a factory amplifier. If anyone has delt with this please help.

Title says it all. I'm a passenger and my wife is driving and gas is 4.99????????? IN FUCKING INDIANA? THANKS TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS!

Now where's the people claiming it's better than Iran having a nuke or something something Kamala, Biden and something, something, something Obama every other strawman, gaslighting tactic? Be honest you selfish people! WHO'S WINNING!?
