There were a few years at the beginning of last century where it wasn’t like that

I currently work at target. They’re paying three dollars more an hour at the Walmart just down the road.
Education wages in this country are a global laughingstock.

Yeah, no, I haven’t seen a job offering paying this in awhile. Even the stingiest employers are paying 14 an hour by now. They literally would not be able to hire an unemployed guy across the street if they paid any less. Most places are doing 15 at a minimum.

Guy, you’re the only downvoted person on the whole thread. You’re really gonna tell me “everyone else understood it”?
These things literally exist in New England, contrary to your original comment.

Maine is in New England, dude. You said “I live in New England so I don’t have to worry about creepy crawly shit like this.”
How old are you? You must be pretty young if you live in New England and don’t even know all the states in this region.

Reply to Creationism in Maine schools? by Shell58
Creationism might as well have been banned in all the schools I went to growing up. Graduated 2015. Anyone who talked about it got a more polite version of the “you’re stupid, shut up” treatment from whatever teacher was there. They weren’t teaching religion and they didn’t want students teaching other students their religion either. This was in rural central maine.

My great grandmother used to love Friendly’s. The start of the franchise’s slow death coinciding with her passing feels fateful.

It is, compared to their other food. But I had to know, and I don’t regret it

Best one I’ve had was at Eventide. But I haven’t explored that much of Portland’s scene. Will say it makes my top 5 burgers ever.

Can’t tell you about my current town, but if you go to Litchfield on Small Rd, there’s always two really huge displays; one’s right next to the road and one’s on top of an open hill. The houses are owned by a father (on hill) and son (by road), and they make their ranch-styles the prettiest buildings in town for like two months out of every year.

Look, man, I’ve been to a lot of places in this world in my short life. It may not be some sort of idyllic utopia to you, but the fact that people can just do stuff like this here and not expect it to go wrong most of the time is a pipe dream for many Americans who live anywhere outside of Maine and Vermont. Like, some would never even consider it a real possibility for society to get to that level of trust. If OP told this story to someone who’s never left the Midwest, they might not even believe it.
