| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.jalopnik.com | Even Illinois State Police Can't Afford New Cars | Apr 05 04:35 | |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Apr 05 04:35 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: The COMPLY OR DIE people from the state can't afford a new fleet of cars. | Apr 05 04:35 |
| IsambardPrince | "The Illinois Department of Central Management Services recommends that vehicles in the ISP fleet be replaced every eight years or 150,000 miles, but it's taking much longer, ISP Director Brenden Kelly told a Senate appropriations committee last month. | Apr 05 04:36 |
| IsambardPrince | "At this rate with this funding mechanism we have, it will take about 18 years to replace our fleet," Kelly said. "So while we're not expecting a miracle in terms of some legislation to solve that for us permanently, we recognize that we're going to have to continue to, piecemeal, find those sources of funding where they can be found."" | Apr 05 04:36 |
| IsambardPrince | ---- | Apr 05 04:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, my mom has no idea why I had the muffler shop rebuild my entire exhaust system including the catalytic converter. | Apr 05 04:37 |
| MinceR | PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON. YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY. | Apr 05 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I asked her if she had lookd at the price of cars lately. | Apr 05 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Ed, YOU'RE FIRED! | Apr 05 04:37 |
| MinceR | YOU ARE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF PENAL CODE 1.13, SECTION 9. YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO COMPLY. | Apr 05 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Err, Dick. | Apr 05 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | It was Dick Jones. | Apr 05 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Why was I thinking Ed? | Apr 05 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Anyway. | Apr 05 04:37 |
| MinceR | FOUR... THREE... TWO... ONE... I AM NOW AUTHORIZED TO USE PHYSICAL FORCE! | Apr 05 04:37 |
| MinceR | ED 209? | Apr 05 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh yeah | Apr 05 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | The malfunctioning tank thing. | Apr 05 04:38 |
| MinceR | the real RoboCop | Apr 05 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | The guy did put down the gun and it shot him anyway, about 600 times I think. | Apr 05 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Which was a little much. | Apr 05 04:38 |
| MinceR | yeah | Apr 05 04:38 |
| MinceR | even the killswitch didn't work | Apr 05 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | "The rising cost of vehicles is the most obvious problem, but it's not the only one. Kelly says the main problem is that State Police Vehicle Fund has not been funded enough to keep up with rising costs. While lawmakers have appropriated $30 million to the fund each year since 2024, the actual amount available has been a fraction of this amount. That comes from a $1 fee on all license plates, plus the sale of retired police cars. This | Apr 05 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | income typically hovers around $11 and $12 million, but sank to just $7 million last year. It may sound like a lot of money, but when a fully outfitted police car costs $120,000, that $7 million will only buy 58 cruisers of the 1,067 currently overdue for replacement. That also doesn't take into account replacing perfectly good cars that are destroyed in the line of duty." | Apr 05 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | --- | Apr 05 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I think 58 cars a year is fine. | Apr 05 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | They need to maintain what they have better. | Apr 05 04:40 |
| MinceR | especially if they're cruisers! | Apr 05 04:40 |
| MinceR | maybe they could buy a few aircraft carriers too. | Apr 05 04:40 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: They should do better fleet upkeep and replace the 58 worst every year. | Apr 05 04:40 |
| IsambardPrince | It sounds like the government needs to just do more with less. | Apr 05 04:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Like it forces us to do every year. | Apr 05 04:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Thanks to their shitty tax and spend policies. | Apr 05 04:41 |
| IsambardPrince | And the policies that ensure there are not enough jobs. | Apr 05 04:42 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: So if I'm reading that right, they could add $1 to the vehicle plate renewal every year and they could afford 116 new cop cars, right? | Apr 05 04:43 |
| IsambardPrince | That certainly wouldn't be the worst tax increase this state has ever imposed. | Apr 05 04:43 |
| IsambardPrince | There was that one about 8 years ago where they raised the state income tax from 3.5% to 4.95%. | Apr 05 04:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Ouch. | Apr 05 04:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Or the ones where your property tax might go up 27% in a single year if you live in Cook County. | Apr 05 04:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It seems weird that they'd be bashful about one dollar on a license plate. | Apr 05 04:44 |
| IsambardPrince | They've never had a problem with stealing so much more from us every year like the band of pirates that they are. | Apr 05 04:45 |
| MinceR | :> | Apr 05 04:46 |
| MinceR | it's more robbing than stealing | Apr 05 04:46 |
| MinceR | they use weapons and the threat of violence to get money from the people | Apr 05 04:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Yep. | Apr 05 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Nobody in this state seems to care how high the taxes go. | Apr 05 04:47 |
| MinceR | i guess they're rich | Apr 05 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The Democrats only have to point at the other party and say "They | Apr 05 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | "They're insane!" | Apr 05 04:47 |
| MinceR | or maybe they're stupid, like most hungarians | Apr 05 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | And they're right. | Apr 05 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | And so I even vote for the Democrats. | Apr 05 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Knowing that it will be harder to afford to live every year. | Apr 05 04:47 |
| MinceR | but yeah, that's one of the problems with the two-party system | Apr 05 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: They have to put some of the tax increases on the ballot. | Apr 05 04:48 |
| MinceR | especially one in which one party has already turned into an authoritarian monster party | Apr 05 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Like the Forest Preserve one. | Apr 05 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | I voted NO on raising property tax bills to give the Forest Preserves $3.6 million more each year. | Apr 05 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | They said "But it's only like $3-4 per property!" | Apr 05 04:48 |
| *MinceR puts some forest preserve on bread and eats it | Apr 05 04:49 | |
| IsambardPrince | And I said, "That's the problem. All this.... 'It's only...' adds up!" | Apr 05 04:49 |
| IsambardPrince | You do that a few hundred times and suddenly it's not chump change anymore. | Apr 05 04:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Then people can't pay their property tax bills, and lose their house, or the landlord says fuck it, maybe I raise the rent twice as much this year. | Apr 05 04:50 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: They have High Mileage everything now. | Apr 05 04:51 |
| IsambardPrince | 25 years ago it was high mileage oil. | Apr 05 04:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Now I see High Mileage ATF and High Mileage coolants. | Apr 05 04:51 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't really know what those are for. | Apr 05 04:51 |
| MinceR | fucking up a car? | Apr 05 04:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, I use High Mileage oil because I know what that does. | Apr 05 04:52 |
| IsambardPrince | It has extra detergents and it's usually a bit more resistant to burn off and it has extra seal conditioners to slow down oil leaks. | Apr 05 04:52 |
| IsambardPrince | It's just a bit more forgiving of an old engine that's not in perfect condition. | Apr 05 04:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Older engines tend to leak, develop oil consumption, and run dirtier. | Apr 05 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | So the benefits are easy to explain. | Apr 05 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | High Mileage oil won't stop a major oil leak. | Apr 05 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | But they can slow down the occasional drip or seepage. | Apr 05 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | They can help delay, perhaps indefinitely, a costly repair. | Apr 05 04:54 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I took a chance on an oil flush about a year ago, and it did cost me some of my gaskets eventually. | Apr 05 04:54 |
| IsambardPrince | It did not destroy the engine, but some seals that were not leaking before started to. | Apr 05 04:54 |
| IsambardPrince | I paid to have the seals replaced. | Apr 05 04:55 |
| IsambardPrince | I know someone that paid Jiffy Lube $100 to put in a can of oil flush in his 479,000 mile Dodge Grand Caravan. | Apr 05 04:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It went from leaking no oil at all to him having to put in a quart every week. | Apr 05 04:56 |
| *MinceR Dodges an entire Grand Caravan | Apr 05 04:56 | |
| IsambardPrince | The thing is most engines are a bit dirty inside after that many miles. | Apr 05 04:56 |
| IsambardPrince | And some of the sludge gets into a seal that's not good, but hardens and that's now part of the seal. | Apr 05 04:57 |
| IsambardPrince | If you flush it all out, that goes too, not just the stuff on the metal parts of the engine. | Apr 05 04:57 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a cute idea, if they could make something that got the sludge off metal parts but not the seals it would be great. | Apr 05 04:57 |
| IsambardPrince | But it removes the sludge everywhere it goes. | Apr 05 04:57 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: The article says that Kansas replaces their state police vehicles at 50,000 miles. Gives them to the local police. | Apr 05 04:59 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | Women post pictures looking at their phone (often mirror selfies) for a mix of vanity, validation, and curation. These photos are typically used to highlight an outfit, hairstyle, or makeup (showcasing appearance) while appearing casual, "candid," or mysterious. This trend also stems from a desire for social validation ("likes") or to show a curated, aesthetic lifestyle. | Apr 05 05:37 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | IBM for decades now has suffered from THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES (Robbie Thomas in hoodies and sneakers does not count) and THE PETER PRINCIPLE: The Peter Principle is a management theory formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter in 1968, which states that employees in a hierarchical organization tend to be promoted based on their performance in their current role rather than their suitability for the next level. Consequently, individua | Apr 05 15:42 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | ls continue to be promoted until they reach a position for which they are incompetent, at which point they no longer demonstrate the required skills for further advancement. This leads to the "final placement" or "Peter's Plateau," where the employee remains stuck, often lowering team productivity and morale due to their inability to effectively perform their new duties. | Apr 05 15:42 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | The principle is a critique of conventional promotion practices that equate technical skill in one role with leadership capability in anotherβsuch as promoting a stellar technician to a managerial role requiring interpersonal skills they lack. While initially written as a satire, research has validated the principle, showing that companies often promote based on past success, leading to poor management performance after promotio | Apr 05 15:42 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | n. To mitigate this, organizations are advised to provide targeted training for new roles, create non-management career paths for high performers, or promote based on potential rather than just past achievements." | Apr 05 15:42 |
