I’ve always thought a popular adult amusement park idea (and I don’t mean pornographic!) would be to have a raw land site where regular people could rent an excavator and run it (or try to) and dig ditches or otherwise shove piles of dirt around with bulldozers, etc. Most boy kids (there I go) are pretty fascinated by this kind of gear and watching people use them. I’m sure plenty of guys would like to do this and probably some womyn. But the liability would be huge and those machines have to be making pretty serious money to justify their upkeep and maintenance. Would some random guy pay $250 an hour to run an excavator around?
I myself have never operated any such gear, but I’m modestly interested in it. The guys who are good can perform frickin open heart surgery or flick the top off a bee bottle. That of course requires tremendous experience. There are lots of YouTube videos with guys running this type of gear. As fun/interesting as it looks, much of the work in the real world is clawing up a bucket of dirt, turning to the side and dumping it, then repeating that fifty or 100 or more times.
Walmart has self checkout and self check-in
Corrected headline:
Florida Man steals construction excavator and drove it into a Walmart, police say
No matter how much damage he did with that excavator, he couldn’t f**k up Butler Plaza worse than it already is. That place is a soup sandwich and whoever designed it should be flogged in the public square for their crimes against aesthetics, traffic engineering and humanity in general.
Unless that’s a sword or dagger instead of a cross.

Among others. For decades, rural legislators in Florida vied for state prison facilities and the jobs they brought to isolated small towns. Some years ago, a friend who worked for a long-serving Florida state senator who was chairman of the Corrections Committee described a large part of his boss’s job as being to mediate and keep a balance between the families who effectively controlled the Florida state prison system.
That’s possible but highly unlikely. I was mocking him, not Christianity.
Thank goodness he didn’t forget his machete.
Interesting, I had no idea it was a thing to control.
I will say when you leave the area near the coast, Florida gets “interesting”.
He looks pissed off at something.
Not to worry, didn’t think otherwise.
Gotcha, just clarifying.

The problem with your idea is that a person with no experience can do a lot of damage to an expensive machine.
I have a compact tractor with 120 hours on it.
I am still learning.
I hired a guy with an 30m# excavator once.
His business card said 40000 hours experience and counting. He was amazing to watch.
Cat used to have a deal they called “Day in the Dirt” you could sign up for and go run equipment in a test area somewhere in Arizona. Not any more.
A really good operator could have made a much better showing before he got shot. Walmart’s just aren’t that strong.
This sorry retarded bastard needs to be locked up and the key thrown away. This maggots who live life like they are in a movie are dangerous to other people. LOCK THEIR GOATSMELLIN’ ASSES UP.
In the years since WW II, the explosive growth on Florida's coasts often left small towns and cities in the interior with an old and stagnant feel by comparison. Yet even that is passing as the Interstate and other roads knit the state together through better internal communications and massive population growth and development give most of the state a new and shiny feel, or at least a feel of having been renovated, repurposed, and updated.
