This is National Works Zone Awareness Week.

I'm a victim of being ran over by a semi-while flagging.

The person wasn't paying attention, and they hit me with their vehicle.

I've seen an accident where we were the first people to walk up, and that picture will never leave my mind.

Construction zones on roadways and bridges are more than just cones and equipment.

They're the workplace for thousands of dedicated union laborers. Everybody has a family that they need to get back home to, so please just pay attention to us out here while we're working. We all have family, and I know it's a pain in the ass. We're trying to make the roads better for y'all. We're doing this for everyone.

adjective you could use to describe a dystopian authoritarian overreach and power grab.

Yeah, no, that's one thing you could call it.

But these are the kind of policies that you invite when you do the dance with the devil

and invite socialized medicine to provide for your health care because now the government,

now the provider has a stake in what you do

with your daily life and how your health is maintained. Now, fundamentally, I think that this ban

is going to be unenforceable because if they're banning tobacco products for those born after
