You must suspend disbelief in order for this story to work. Read it to the end.

The more you read the story the more infuriating it gets… put on your dumb and dumber hats for this one.

Ever since they installed these smart meters or wireless, I’ve had trust issues. I’m installing a energy meter on my side of the panel to figure out what’s what. Of course this winter we will be seeing a rate hike of what 47%? Something crazy like that. It’s totally out of control.

Reply to Move to Rhode Island? by ChickenRelevant4046
The cost of living is high and the taxes are even higher, however there are jobs out here and commuting from Rhode Island to neighboring Massachusetts or Connecticut opens up even more opportunities. The southern half of the State is notably quieter if you enjoy the woods, the middle is a big of a mix, larger city but still spread out, and northern Rhode Island with the city and outside Providence areas. No matter where you live, there are 420 miles of coastline to explore, rocky shores to Sandy beaches. Winters can be blah in New England, but Rhode Island being on the coast doesn’t see the large amounts of snowfall they they get up north. Oh, we have terrible roads, I know what’s in a name?

I said don’t worry about it.

Have you been paying attention to the amount of taxes in Rhode Island? Last time I checked they haven’t decreased.

Sometimes the truth will set you free.

I wouldn’t worry, because the State will get all that money back from you in your lifetime in the form of taxes. Remember nothing here is free, we all pay a price.

This is a great question, the short answer is many will likely become potential felons for Christmas. The law doesn’t pass constitutional muster, however until it moves through the courts firearm owners in Rhode Island are under their thumb. It can be pretty scary being a law abiding citizen one day and being jammed up on felony charges the next because you forgot a 15rd magazine in your range bag. It’s best to air of the side of caution and sanity to remove all the 11 plus round magazines you have in your collection and take them charter fishing before December 21. After the ban is repealed you can send a scuba diver down to retrieve them.

Propane is not the cheaper alternative in the long run. Propane prices fluctuate as well, less BTUs than oil. Heat pump and solar panels.

Ball joints are the go to item for many shady inspection stations, many people don’t even know what they are, they are not terribly expensive to replace so people usually go oh, ok. But like you found, it’s always better to get a second option.
Swamp_yankee_ninja t1_iwck7tv wrote
You are being taken for a ride. If they completed an actual inspection and found one issue… if you needed brakes they would have found that issue too, hence why it’s called an inspection. They are inspection points to inspect, brakes a wear item and a bit of a necessity are checked right up front. Then ball joints, frame rust, exhaust rust, lights etc. there is absolutely no way they “missed” the brakes. Something tells me, the boss man said, what you didn’t get them for brakes! What no ball joints! Are you crazy we have bills to pay! Tell him he needs brakes.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how it works, State goes out to bond, fixes infrastructure and collects taxes to repay the bond. That money will come from our pockets.

Well, they won’t be tolling trucks… so they will need to find another way to tax us. Unless the State defaults on the bonds.

I got some bad news for you, the Gina Raimondo Rhode Works infrastructure plan was bonded, the work has been done however it is not paid for. Trust me, they will get our money one way or another.

The DBR stated they have no proof growers used pesticides on the tested plants. Yet, every grower had a bizarre excuse, from leaky roof to spraying for ants and beetles outside for the contamination. They are lying through their teeth and the DBR is covering it up, because well… money.
