Front plate ticket

[eightsandaces]

sorry up front for the h/j but someone has to say it:

You're going to have a tough time finding morality and profit pursuit acting in tandem in the fortune 500 world. My company once did something knowingly so heinous I won't even type it. I will say it was on the magnitude of the recently revealed shipments by GSK of known mis-marked medicines. Capitalism and working within it is like a soul gristmill, it's always going to be a personal journey to stay away from the tines on the feed rollers, pick your spots where you can make a difference and do the right thing. You can be a great person who works for whats best within the context of the script each of our employers writes.

Sorry about your experience Jake, especially if you WERE profiled in some form
as a result of your appearance.

I'm in Massachusetts where they do require a front plate. Every time I go to get
an inspection sticker I screw mine on, or they will fail it. Guaranteed. ALL of them
will fail it. No matter how many different places you try.

If I ever get pulled over for not having one ? I'm gonna ask the Cop to stand
there with me and watch traffic go by for a couple minutes. I guarantee 25%
of cars, trucks, SUVs or whatever going by don't have a front plate. At which point I'm gonna tell him " You must be one busy dude".

Jake, might I suggest a move to Los Angeles where a dude in a Porsche with a mohawk might be the most NORMAL thing that I see in day!

On a serious note, sorry to hear about the job situation. I had a similar experience with my previous employer who was violating Federal law. As a company exec, I had a duty to protect the company so I talked to the CFO and the CEO and got nowhere. Then I called the Corp office and was politely laid off within 5 days.

I negotiated the best deal I could (9 months full pay) and walked away all the wiser about good corporate citizenship (perfectly fine as long as it doesn't interfere with profits).

Hope something good shows up on the job horizon.

If plate lettering is green, one plate is still legal. have had the same plate for over 11 years. it's legal.

I think I've gotten at least three of those. I haven't had a front plate since 1997. My previuos car was also two seater.

I don't have a problem paying the ticket if it gives the state troopers one less thing to aim their lazer gun at...which would be a lot more expensive as far my insurance goes or the time to go to court to fight a points ticket.

Finally decided to call on the front plate ticket.... $120. WTF? I was planning on going into court, but court cost is $110 so theres no real point. I'm pissed
