Reply to Burlington had 5 murders in 2022, the most since 1960 by BoringAccountName78

If we're going to do a comparison, here are some other cities in the area we can compare Burlington to:

Burlington, VT, 5 murders, murder rate: 11.2/100,000

NYC, 419 murders, murder rate: 4.8/100,000

Boston, 41 murders, murder rate: 6.1/100,000

Here's a list of more rates around New England:

Once again, this could just be a statistical anomaly. But if we're going to compare cities, we should look at the rates, not just the totals.

Summer of 69 was definitely Bryan Adams' greatest hit.

This is some interesting research here.

This may back up my original theory:

Reply to comment by Animallover4321 in Do you think Charlie Baker will run for President? by BoringAccountName78

I wonder if he'll leave Beacon Hill, have a contrived "come to God" moment and leave the GOP for the Dems - Basically, he'll have his Michael Bloomberg moment and then run as a conservative Dem.

Reply to How do you Granite Staters feel about having the first primary in the nation in your state every 4 years? by BoringAccountName78

I'd imagine that for political buffs it would be kind of fun to have every four years.

How often do the most famous people in the world come to small towns?

But I think I'm just opposed to the primary process as it currently stands, so it's hard to support NH being first.
