Caltrans officials love huffing car exhaust. One woman got tired of it.
“Ward-Waller alleged that Caltrans improperly described the first project as “pavement rehabilitation” when it will actually widen the road to accommodate new lanes. Because of that, she said, it’s illegally using state funds that are intended only for road maintenance, not widening.”
She’s a hero for blowing the lid on that. Super sketchy and gross misuse of funds.

If your anti car caltrans is a weird place to work. A real Ron Swanson energy
It’s CalTrans, not CalCars. As it turns out, there are other ways of transporting humans and things that are not cars.
and yet people are told that trying to change the system from within is more powerful than protesting…
Closer to they forgot that signing up for a gov job is inherently political, and you need to read the ebb and flow of the department. Subway focus for four years, cars the next, etc etc
She reported fraud. Caltran was trying to use maintenance money for expansion.
Why are there like 20 fuckcars communities, and why do you post in every single one of them? “All” is spammed with your posts.
Browses ALL, sees repeated content

Look, if four posts over three communities by two people on ALL make your user experience unbearable and prompt you to complain, maybe it’s time to talk to someone and take some time off the internet…
In the meantime, while you’re complaining, would you mind asking the Iranians (?) to keep it down, they’re sPAmMiNg ALL right now, thanks luv
I love how any complaint on here has to have an insult-laden retort by a pedantic little pissant like you taking it to an extreme and detailing that it’s time to get off the Internet.
If only the world was full of more people like you, then we’d never need to have new features or upgrades. Look, if one complaint makes your user experience unbearable to the point that you feel the need to be an insufferable blowhard, maybe it’s time to talk to someone and take some time off the internet…
Go be annoying somewhere else. Thanks luv…

Sorry sweetheart. :)
you know you can just block a user and you won’t see any of their posts? I don’t feel spammed by this user on the all feed but I have by others. I didn’t whine about it I just blocked them and now my feed is more to my liking. This platform is still young content is good.
Right, but by blocking them we lose the content entirely which is also not ideal.
Lemmy/kBin really need a system to merge duplicate links/posts across instances.
yes but Lemmy doesn’t handle it so put on your big boy pants, avert your gaze for a micro second, and don’t bother people who are actually providing content for us? Grue did nothing wrong and didn’t deserve to be accused of spamming.
Thanks, I appreciate the support.
FWIW, I would also love to have a merged view for crossposted threads – or for entire similar communities, for that matter. I suspect somebody’s working on it, but it seems like one of those things where the details start getting really tricky once you get into it.
You can block subs.
