Very few things in life are truly "free"... luckily air still is

Just like paying taxes towards public schools, police & fire departments, and public transportation and never using them... it's part of being a citizen in a civilized society.

The owner of the property needs to contact them to schedule an audit

What is WJAT?

I did this when Pride Hyundai failed my car for brakes... I checked the brakes beforehand and knew they were a little worn but within specification. The DMV confirmed they were OK... went back to Pride with the DMV paperwork and asked for the service manager, but they sent out the tech who failed the inspection. He apologized and said they tell them to fail brakes if they're close. It's pisses me off because most people will just say "I need my car" and pay the $1200. It's usually an easy job any shady-tree mechanic can do for less than $500.

My teenage years in a nutshell

"the stars just arnt as bright at the beginning of the night as they are late late night, like 430 or 5 on todays date"

Don't believe this is true... I'm up at 5:30am everyday and some days (like today) the stars are spectacular. But a cold front came through overnight and there's less moisture in the air making the skies appear clearer. That's why stars look so much brighter in the winter.

Can't get local news or programming or NFL games

Well, consumers don't have a choice but energy companies have to buy power from the power grid... contracts are negotiated well in advance. Like anything else, it's sold to the highest bidder when the demand is high.

If you are not part of the majority, you can't change anything without compromising. It's f'ing scary how many people watch and believe everything they hear on Faux news

Not my point of view, but please remember Fox News has been the top cable network for the last 6 years... you need to better understand your opponents

Watch Fox news, they will show you. I often feel like there are two realities.... the one shown of Fox News and the one on CNN. Both are garbage in my mind; it's not news, more like 90% opinions and party bashing. Sucks. I agree things need to change, but if you demand it all at one time you're going to get resistance from those who want things to stay the same.

WTF are you talking about? You scream, the zealots on the opposing side scream louder. Doesn't change anything but increase the division. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Regardless, assumptions like this weaken your message and escalate the rhetoric from both sides

"Take off your privilege glasses" make assumptions often?

Yet here we are where our government can't do a damn thing because of the party-lines. Total BS and it's destroying America. We need elected officials who will work together rather than only support one party. Sometimes you need to give a little to get what you want

No easy answer... between the Russia BS, OPEC and the Energy Companies record profits, there's no way around it. The governor can't stop a free market increase. Even if she found away to reduce the cost to consumers, they'd have to find the funds to pay for it. Car tolls and higher taxes are coming

Still say party zealots get candidates elected...ranked-choice voting would eliminate the extremists

Not just RI... look at the POTUS candidates. That's the main reason we're so divided as a nation... mostly zealots vote in primaries and they elect the extreme candidates to further their agenda. Wish more people would realize this.

Ashley Kalus won't say if she wants Donald Trump to run for president again in 2024

Democrat Dan McKee says Joe Biden should run for re-election

ARE THESE TWO ARE ONLY CHOICES???? Ugh

Ashley Kalus wants to stop the utility rate increase... by doing so, Rhode Island Electric would lose money. How long until they close and leave RI if they're not making a profit? Rates are going up across the country and the world. The increase sucks, but it can't be ignored or overruled... nothing is free. Kind of ironic a GOP candidate does not understand how a free market works.
