Feel the Bern

People on the Nextdoor website in my neighborhood complained that the city wasn't plowing the streets, but at the same time fdidn't want to pay me to shovel their walks. Figures.

Aren't homeowners responsible for the sidewalk in front of their house?

They are in Boulder. Has to be shoveled within 24 hours after the snow stops. I've heard of multiple warnings, I'm not sure I've talked to anyone who has actually been fined.

Socialism at the state level, I'm ok with, let the idiots determine their own fate. If it's at the federal level, I just can't move to a different state to escape it.

The city has the power to fine homeowners for not shoveling, BUT there has never been a civil suit in Colorado holding the homeowner liable for an injury on the public sidewalk in front of a home. The attorneys at the big insurance company I worked for gave a big presentation about it and basically said, "You can get a fine for not shoveling, but chances are very slim you'd be held liable for an injury on the public portion, assuming all you did was not shovel." Meaning, if you clean your fish tank onto the sidewalk the night before, or point your downspouts to drain onto the sidewalk, etc, then you could be held liable for an injury. They said that local legislation puts the shoveling of public walks onto the city, but the city turns around and tells the property owners to do it.

I think you're asking about the difference between the road and the sidewalk, but people were also complaining about how much snow was in their driveways and backyards.

Those people are morons, they should be sterilized.

How old are you? Have you been contributing to this Ponzi scheme for over 40 yrs? I have, I want my FN money back!

Socialism a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

Road maintenance and fire protection could certainly be privatized. Police fall under the executive branch of the government, law enforcement, police protection is not socialism. Social Security is a legal ponzi scheme administered rather poorly by the government and we should dump it.

I didn't give specifics and yes I want my effing money back too, unfortunately there is no money, they spend it as soon as they get it. There should be a cut off, say now, anyone over 30 stays in it, anyone under 30 gets out.

I operate like I'm not going to get it though.

Next question is how many Bernie supporters have paid into it?
