Reply to comment by JiminyDickish in City of Toronto puts up sign limiting barking at dog park, removes it following public scrutiny by nimobo

Notice how disturbed wasn’t in your rebuttal? That’s cause your confused. I specifically said disturb because we’re talking about disturb, what you just did is a strawman.

So while it’s possible I’m wrong ( I’m not) this comment does not have anything to do with what I just said

I’ve been disturbed by the roofers working on my apartments roof, that doesn’t mean it’s illegal

Reply to Ontario man who declined rental insurance 'panicked' when told he must pay $50K for stolen truck by phishieee

Once I had my car in the shop and they gave me a brand new Cadillac CTS loaner car. I knew the repair was going to be thousands of dollars and really didn’t want to spend any unnecessary funds so when they asked if I wanted insurance I declined. The next day I got paranoid and called them up and said I’d like to add the insurance. They were surprisingly cool about it, thought I’d have to bring the car in for a full inspection, nope. They just added it. I could have already damaged the car

Reply to comment by QuestionableAI in Fairfax County Board of Supervisors vote in favor of giving themselves a massive raise by Pantherax_k

In Fairfax? Yes $3 billion annually for schools. $5b total budget. They spend more than two states and about as much as Montana does on their own.

Fairfax definitely spends on those things. They spend $70m on parks and libraries. $611m on public safety. They spend over half the budget of Delaware on school operation alone.

57k is not a modest living in Fairfax. Fairfax is the 5th wealthiest county in the country.

The median household income there is $127k. Falls Church is right there as well. It’s median is $146k, the second richest county/city in the country by a margin.

They’re making about median if they’re the sole earner. That seems right for people running a county more populous than Montana.

As an edit, those median incomes are a few years ago. Wages have gone up in VA since, both on min wage increases and in general. 130k is probably the median now.
