Once you get out toward Framingham you have a ton of towns and smaller places where people aren't using it to go to the east.

"Greater economic benefit" is hard to sell to places like Greenfield, North Adams, and Northbridge where there are other needs closer to the ground.

People overall seem to dislike seeing tax money spent on things that don't directly benefit them.

The overwhelming majority of the MA communities get no benefit from the MBCR or T. Why would they put their constituent's money into it?

The problem with the bike barn at South Station is anyone with access can take any bike. Security is non-existent.

A dollar bill and the motto "That'll show 'em who's boss!"

Not it's not, because you're deliberately and dishonestly conflating "Voting machine security if you can get your hands on the innards are hackable" and "the election was compromised by hacked voting machines."

I've also noticed the "election deniers" (read: The people who thin without a shred of evidence that the votes tallied were compromised) also think those elected from the GOP should be unseated as well.

If you have physical access to those machines, they're hackable. That's true of damned near every computing device.

There is no evidence that occurred, in either the 2016 or 2020 elections.

And assuming there are actual truthful sources for it, people didn't storm the capitol to kill Congress members, did they?

No one sane denied the 2016 election results.

The Kappy's nearest to me isn't any better than a package store.

If you take anything Diehl says seriously please do the rest of us a favor and don't vote.

Same deal here. I don’t see how it benefits anything but megacorps

Still going on from what I know, and the union will be taking massive fines.

Yes, unless it's covered by something else like Covid time, FMLA, or other regulations.

You can take the time anyway, and they can fire you.

I didn't say it was a union benefit. Which job (office worker, health care, state police, etc.) absolutely plays into the benefit determination.

I can check the documents I got from the union in the last two weeks; I'll grant it depends on the union and job scope.

After ten years the pension is 25% of your highest five consecutive earning years. This can go up to 90% with 30+ years in service.

The jail isn't bad.

Yes; it's your money, and USD 159 for an hour of sitting around isn't bad.

It costs nothing to not be a cunt.

Even on a month-to-month state law requires that the time of notice be equal to the time between rent payments or 30 days, whichever is longer.

If it's in a common area they may have thought/felt it was daddy's and not the tenants?

Be sure to hold onto your lease documents - even sold, you're still a tenant with rights.
