In modern construction there is no thing as a "shovel ready job" construction is now a high-technology industry with machinery using gps/agps computer systems and will become more so in the future.
Sorry. You don't need modern technology to rip a road up . You don't need modern technology to lay brick and mortar .

That is true but go find a contractor on a road project who doesn't have modern equipment and has a labor crew out there using shovels.

A little off topic but maybe not, you are the second person to mention 2 weeks of food is illegal.
Was this a hoax somewhere or is someone trying to say it is illegal to have more than 2 weeks of food?
I always have known I could have 2 MONTHS of anything as long as it is not harmful.
Being prepared for natural disasters makes you a possible terrorist nowadays, it seems. [/quote
Oh, for heaven's sake- Having more than 2 weeks worth of food makes us terrorists? And the government thinks WE'RE paranoid?!

I don't think that would explain all the power lines that are down that I have seen just driving to work yesterday....
it was a storm, which, I believe was due to the psychic energy of all those angry americans when they heard the supreme court decision on obamacare. I mean it started where obama's career started, chicago, and barreled through and didn't stop till it hit dc!!
we americans need to check our negative emotional energy is all....
It's crazy you said that. I was noticing that, too, and thought how strange that this storm started in Chicago and barreled its way to DC! SOMETHING was crying foul!!
