Darline Graham and her victim mentality

Are South Carolinians really going to elect someone just because she keeps bringing up her parents dying early & her + her brother having a tough childhood? She talks about Trump like, “boys will be boys, and I’ll always love him.” She has no solid plans from what I’ve gathered, but feel free to share, if I’m wrong.

LINDSEY Graham commercial!?!

1 PM on 11 October. Just saw a 30 second commercial for Lindsey, not Darline. WTF! Does someone think folks are dumb enough not to notice a different first name or know that he's dead?

My company laid off people for Israeli contractors.

I work for BlueCross BlueShield based in Columbia, SC. Last week our company laid off about 200 employees, they found out 2 days before the end of the workweek and many of them were not given severance because our policy is to not give severance if notice is given.

Our company just signed a $5 million contract with an Israeli contracting firm, based in Boston but the contractors are based in Tel Aviv. We have a part of the company that contains software developers, cybersecurity experts, and plenty of technical specialists. Why the HELL are we hiring contractors outside the US?

Not only are these contractors operating outside the US, but they have access to current and historical medical claim data. Employees are vetted and certain barriers prevent us from working overseas due to state regulations but we did not vet this company. We have no way of knowing what these people do with this information.

I tried reporting them but was ghosted, the next best option was to create a Reddit account and inform the people of SC. I don’t want to scare anyone but with the way things are headed I would prefer people know before it’s too late.

Let’s say Dr. Annie Andrews (D) wins the Senate race. What are some policies, actions, or initiatives you’d like to see from her that will benefit South Carolina?

Personally, I would love to see her take some action advocating for improved transit and urbanism. South Carolina is undoubtedly a growing state, yet the state is very car centric. If the state doesn’t start thinking long term, traffic, especially in urban areas, will become even more unbearable.

Greenville, Charleston, and Columbia would be GREAT candidates for fully dedicated bike lines, improved streetscapes (including sidewalks at all roads and burying overhead electric wires), and potentially even maybe getting one of these cities a BRT or Streetcar system.

Simply put, South Carolina CANNOT afford to be left behind when it comes to transit, urban planning, and public infrastructure and I hope soon to be Senator Dr. Andrews can advocate for this in the senate.

On a national level, if she could pull a reverse Fetterman and become a progressive firebrand instead of the relative “Moderate” she’s running under, it’ll be the best vote I ever casted.

Please help! This is a really fun project for the middle school kids.

For those who have commented that I am “doing” the project for her…I’d like to provide some context. We cannot have 10 year olds online soliciting cards from strangers without adult supervision. This is why the post cards are mailed directly to the school and reviewed by the main office first. Once the post cards are approved, they are shared with the class. Each card leads to a productive discussion and essentially..a research project! Each student will need to pick one state to write an essay on.

Monarch Butterfly flock visits backyard

Got a couple dozen monarch butterflies migrating thru and chowing down on my Mexican sunflowers this morning.

Fun fact, we’re in peak monarch season as they travel south, so be on the lookout!

Triangle Ecycling is offering free bulk old computer ewaste pickup for Louisville organizations (businesses, government offices, etc.) and processes everything through an R2-certified zero-landfill recycler. Comes with a serialized inventory and certificate of destruction, which matters if you have compliance requirements.

They also run a program that trains public school students in computer refurbishment and IT skills, and they donate 500+ refurbished computers a year to nonprofits and families. They're a nonprofit and direct 10% of proceeds to other nonprofits supporting education, families and the environment.

Request pickup via their web form or by phone and they try to respond within an hour.

There are cases where it becomes more of a low cost scenario, like 20 big ancient Cisco phones or something like this.
