Believe me I know. I used to live in Pittsburgh, which is better off than a lot of former rust belt cities. And did environmental law while there. That's why I said close to Boston not the water although that's the bigger attraction.

But I grew up in Everett and lived there now. I know some people who worked for Wynn during the cleanup. And that area was horrific.

You weren’t being dramatic. It wasn’t technically a superfund site but it was really bad for a long time.

Imagine other cities letting property that close to Boston lay fallow.

By allowing time for the community to speak they are creating a public forum. And then if they do that they can’t restrict certain kinds of speech but allows others. If they don’t let anyone speak no public forum. They have no obligation to create a public forum. Neither Mass law or the Constitution require it.

It will surely be a law suit but they are on pretty firm ground of content neutral time, place and manner restrictions then. As long as they enforce the time restrictions equally.

There are always details in Downtown Crossing.

Sorry. Lawyer.

My friends are in tech and consulting.

I was five days a week no exceptions.

A lot of friends in cooler industries had one or two days a week hybrid.

Now I’m hybrid and those friends are mostly remote 100%.

But they can't prove it if you don't comply.

Some people might not even be using their high beams. Headlights have gotten brighter.

Most of the sub does not care about this drama.

I didn’t remember that so I just googled it (because salacious!) and the top hit was the Mass GOP site. And it’s a claim brought by a group of first responders opposed to Covid measures. Not any troopers involved with Healey themselves.

I am ambivalent on Healey but seems suspect to me.

She was the state’s top prosecutor. She did nothing beyond the bare minimum. She’ll do nothing with this chance.

I was not a Baker fan but signs point to her being even worse on this particular issue.

Are you taking the commuter from South or North station. If it’s south st I recommend high st food hall.

I had a stroke about a year and a half ago. Went to Melrose Wakefield. All the signs of a stroke (slurred speech, BP through the roof, disoriented) and I waited in the ER for 7 hours. (I know I should have called an ambulance but I wasn’t exactly thinking straight.) Finally they admitted me. And I was in-patient for about 5 days. Didn’t tell me what was going on, nurses were rude and dismissive.

I don’t recommend it.

Always fucked. It’s why I never go to the southshore.

I’d be seriously impressed if the owner of Archie’s own that sky scraper and still works the grill.

I was at malden around the same time it sounds like. Took forever to get the train. Then they were going super slow because of “track work”. Then they stopped right before Wellington because someone “fell in the pit”. But we were only held up for a couple of minutes because of that.

But the DA isn’t part of the city. It’s the county which for most of Massachusetts, including Suffolk, was taken over by the state.

Negligence suits are also capped at $100K for the city but these police suits are not.

It’s still a huge sum of money. Just weird how it is framed.

110 in Malden too.

The Dubliner in Government City has tables outside still. Haven’t seen anyone at them though.

It’s been like that all week. It is so fucking frustrating.

Especially since there were so many people on the T today. Going to Boston for the Winter classic and pre-First Night stuff.

Exactly! They have to give their servers all tips although they still don't. These fees are all gimmicks to pay more.

Kitchen staff should earn more. They should get more from their employers but I'll happily pay I eat the food. But no way are they getting this money.

Wiring you the 1.9 m in bitcoin right now. Don’t sell to anyone else.

Honestly I regret getting the real ID. Because I’ll have to renew in person.

Well I'm no royalist but that would put them one ahead of Governor Baker.
