I would start looking now and be fully prepared to live with several roommates.

I would look in all Boston neighborhoods.

And you’ll need a plan to find these roommates. Or start looking for rooms to rent (lots of folks rent out a room as a summer sublet)

Cool. Can you tell me how he differs from the 2-3 other guys EVERY DAY who shoot their intimate partner to death?

I suppose they could all find a different way, but guns are what they choose.

Weird how that works.

Almost like it’s way easier to kill someone with a gun.

Especially when they are driving away like this poor woman was.

This is really disturbing. Why the hell would the EPA let this pass scrutiny?

So…you’d think.

It I’m pretty sure the SCOTUS has held that it does not violate the 4th amendment to be arrested even when an officer doesn’t know the law and is literally making up an arrest-able offense on the spot.

As long as they have a good faith belief you are breaking the law (even if what they allege you are doing doesn’t violate a law)…they can arrest you.

Compete insanity and I don’t agree with SCOTUS there.

My guess is the DA drops the charges.

And then the cops will low key harass and target this guy until he leaves town.

Millennials are 27-42.

Every teacher I know started around 22. But I mostly know teachers who went to BC and local schools and am not as familiar with folks who transitioned into teaching at age 40.

So yes - there are a whole shit ton of 15-20 year teachers in the millennial age range. I wasn’t referring to 65 year olds but I can see how you might read it that way.

And maybe you missed the “early” in the retiree part.

Boston has a stunning amount of folks who made a lot of money in tech and finance (or who have family wealth) and who leave full-time work in their 30’s / 40’s. Especially to have kids. I saw it all the time back when I did big law. (I left full time employment at age 37).

The millennials right in the middle of this median - the ones who actually do make around $105k as a household and who are between age 27 and 42 - are a very diverse and weird mix of folks with all sorts of different economic and family circumstances in my experience. It’s really hard to lump them into one bucket and generalize.

(Two line cooks who are 40 and who make $50k each are very different than a single 27-year old renter who makes $105k at State Street. Etc…)

One thing to keep in mind is that salary progression for different folks change at VERY different rates.

A teacher who has two decades of experience in Boston who is close to maxing out their top end pay at $105k (and about to maybe get replaced by a cheaper younger person) is very different from a 30-year old who just got out of grad school and their first job is paying $105k with potential to double that salary in three years.

They will be looking at very different types of houses.

And also…elephant in the room is family wealth and assets that barely show up on your income statement. I know lots of folks who are early retirees and only make $50k per year in dividends. But they have $5-$10m in assets and own their home outright.

Boston also has lots of international money and wealthy parents buying condos (for kids who are students or just to park money as a cash alternative). Seaport is rife with empty condos sold to globally wealthy folks. Same for One Dalton.

Boston is a weird city like that.

Most regular households earning $100k with kids have a shitty commute and live at least 40 minutes away by car.

Youbshoood look into Shewersberry or Worsechester

Okay…but these are emergency vehicles that are on the side of the road and stopped.

Literally the excerpt from the NHTSA report I pasted says these emergency vehicles were stopped on the side of the road to help folks.

The flashing lights on emergency vehicles confuse the Tesla AI. It’s been a known problem for years. Elon and his fanboys try to gloss over it or play whataboutism games to avoid having to address it in any substance.

Can you put me to the press release where the Ford CEO guaranteed that Pinto owners could fall asleep behind the wheel and safely arrive at their destination?

You are less informed than your think.

Elon talks about autopilot and full self driving interchangeably.

Go listen to him in 2019 when speaking with Cathie Wood’s Ark Podcast:

“My guess as to when we would think it is safe for somebody to essentially fall asleep and wake up at their destination: probably toward the end of next year. I would say I am certain of that. That is not a question mark.”

It’s 2023 now. Not 2020.

And Tesla isn’t anywhere near capable of having someone fall asleep and arrive at their destination in any safe manner.

Elon didn’t speak unequivocally back in 2019 about this. He didn’t say “hey we are working on something cool that might happen someday.”

He guaranteed it: “I would say I’m certain of that. It’s not a question mark.”

He has promised consumers for years that they can do these things.

He’s a liar and you’re being duped. And more than one person who believed his statements are now dead.

It’s not my statistic. It’s the NHTSA investigating crashes.

If you think your hand waving is enough to overcome the legitimate concerns the NHTSA has here…please see if Tesla will hire you as their general counsel in charge of regulatory oversight.

They all had autopilot engaged. You can ignore reality if you’d like.

How many of those cars claim to have “full self driving“ and have people doing everything from reading the newspaper on the highway to taking a nap while the car is going 70 miles an hour.

Sure, the fine print says “but there has to be a human ready to take control at all times!“

But there’s only one auto maker that brags about their self driving hardware. And so yeah, it is newsworthy when the one company who claims they can do it is failing spectacularly at it. And getting people killed.

Weird how Teslas keep crashing in to emergency vehicles. Happens so frequently that NHTSA launched an investigation:

https://www.autoweek.com/news/green-cars/a37425353/another-tesla-hits-police-car/

> The latest Tesla crash into a first responder vehicle comes just two weeks after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into 11 instances of Tesla drivers hitting parked emergency vehicles while using the Autopilot driver-assist system in the US. The incidents date back several years and follow a surprisingly common pattern: First responder vehicles, including police cars and fire trucks, stop to assist disabled vehicles on road shoulders or traffic lanes, using emergency lights to direct traffic around them, as Tesla vehicles with Autopilot engaged collide with them either with or without attempts by the driver to brake in the seconds prior to impact. Some crashes have resulted in serious injuries, as they happened at highway speeds.

It’s like when the Pope says “hey, be kind to gay people” and every asshole Catholics responds with “welp, he’s not MY Pope anymore!”

The only appeal Trump has for some folks is that he validated their antisocial and horrific viewpoints.

But by that same token, anything remotely reasonable that Trump might say (like “vaccines work”) is going to cause these assholes to flee to a more insane figurehead.

And that’s how we get Ron DeathSantis and Marjorie Taylor White Fur Coat.

So you never went to Massachusetts high schools yourself and won’t let your kids go.

But you’re an expert on them more than me (and the hundreds of thousands of households that don’t home school in Mass).

Weird how you think folks who’ve lived here for decades, and who are intimately involved with the schools somehow have zero access or knowledge how MA high schools work.

Cool beans.

Enjoy babysitting your kids. Best of luck.

1. We all have our kids in Mass schools. You act as if we aren’t aware of how they work?

2. You struggled to finish high school? Are not from the US? That explains a bit of your jaded takes.

3. Maybe had you gone to Mass high schools, and been surrounded by peers who go on to top universities (6 of the 12 kids in my calculus class went to Harvard, I went to law school and had a great wall st/big law career) you’d realize you have no goddamn idea what you’re talking about.

Kids are most definitely not just “passed along” in Mass unless they have brain dead parents who wish that to be the case.

Kids who come from well resourced households or households where education is a clear priority thrive and have an absolute abundance of top notch AP courses and extracurriculars to choose from.

Not to mention all of the social benefits that being in school can bring.

But maybe we’re all wrong and maybe a starving r/antiwork starving artist knows better than the all of us. I’m fine with those odds.

May your kids reap the benefit of your short temper, your ranting, and your false narrative.

Nowhere in Massachusetts are parents told “straight up” they are babysitters. Maybe you interpreted COVID mandates that way. Maybe your insane Facebook homeschool groups convinced you of that, but it isn’t true.

And even if the school district DID for some weird reason call you a babysitter, it’s pretty apt…because only someone who has the minimal investment in their kids that a teenager making $10/hour does would think that homeschooling is going to be a better path to success than Massachusetts schools.

And may a non-existent god have mercy on your kids souls.

> “The only way to change someone's mind is to make them think it was their idea.”

Oh, then I am fucked. Because I already try that most nights:

“Babe, remember how you were thinking about jerking me off tonight?”

“No. Did you remember to set the alarm?”

Being able to admit I’m often wrong and frequently dumb is probably my biggest life skill.

And I am happy as hell in life. Also very happily married.

I always feel sad for folks who are so insecure that they can’t admit fault or wrong.

Almost 20 years ago, I was on a trial team that represented an iconic global retail brand (multi-billions in annual sales, you probably own their stuff, you’ve DEFINITELY heard of them, and it’s been around for over a century).

The CEO, who was of Swiss-French descent, fell TWICE for Nigerian Prince scams. He was very old and not very wise about the modern world.

It was both highly embarrassing (it cost him a very significant part of his net worth and was off limits by mutual agreement during depositions) and also super sad. He legit fell the second time after folks were begging him not to send the money.

• The FBI has not commented on the search.

• Biden’s lawyer made a statement that no classified documents were found.

That does not equal “FBI found nothing” or that they were just doing it for optical purposes.

But I can see why you’d press that angle so hard with your obvious bias. Feel free to keep doing so.

• Mike Pence was Trump’s VP.

• Chris Wray runs the FBI. He was appointed by Trump.

How is this “two sides” attacking itself?

It’s one conservative Trump appointee (Wray) overseeing a search of another conservative Trump appointee (Pence) in relation to classified documents and other evidence of potential crimes.

And Trump said he would be “tough on crime” and “drain the swamp” of “Washington insiders” who were “corrupt”.

Are you not satisfied that Trump’s FBI appointee is trying to do EXACTLY THAT by searching Pence’s property?

Biden and the Dems have ZERO to do with what Chris Wray decides to do.

And unlike Trump (who fired the former FBI director James Comey when Comey wasn’t doing Trump’s bidding) Biden isn’t going to fire the FBI director just because that director is a lifelong Republican who was appointed by a prior administration.

So it’s exactly how you’d want it to go.

There is no “government war” here (despite the empty rhetorical claims that you and numerous other idiots on Fox News and Facebook claim).

So it is rare that’s the FBI would conduct a search like this. But the FBI is run by a super conservative Trump appointee (Chris Wray) and the FBI isn’t going to search the property of a former Vice President unless they absolutely have the goods.

It is notable that Pence isn’t fighting this.

This has no indications that it is a fishing expedition and every indication the FBI knows what it is looking for.

That’s so fucked. Wow. Those judges are awful for that.
