Reply to comment by gregra193 in New Haven Board of Ed. security officer fires gun at teen who was breaking into his car: PD by EasyE0287

Some of the recent car break-ins, the thieves shoot at the homeowners while they retreat. His claims certainly are possible. It’s also possible he’s making it up to justify his own actions. Other evidence lacking, I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt as he was not the instigator.

Reply to comment by Prestigious-Tie2049 in A Bill Would Require Insurance Companies To Provide Equal Coverage to Dog Owners by NewsHugh

How about car owners and violent hit and runs? We should get rid of all cars. There is a certain amount of risk you have to accept in a society. The elimination of that risk always comes with an elimination of freedom. No matter how much freedom you give up, there will always be some level of danger. I have made that consideration in my life. I don't own a pit, but I love dogs and would own a pit of that was the dog that spoke to me. I also don't like the idea of being shot, but I also don't really like that coyotes come out of the woods next to where my kid plays and like that I have the ability to shoot one if I have too. I'll keep my freedoms, I fought for them and I get the feeling you didn't.

  1. Your argument about pitbulls is ridiculous because the problem is not the dog, it's the owner, as proven by the 99.99995% of pitbulls that attack zero people ever. 2 your gun comment was pro gun. If you don't understand that, learn grammar. And 3, if you think someone on the internet, who you will never know the real name of, could threaten you, you need to go outside.

Reply to comment by gregra193 in Connecticut’s gas tax is returning incrementally. What’s going on? by NicoleMcIsaac

I’ve been saying this all COVID. People forget Amazon has owned Whole Foods for awhile now, and the entirety of what that means.

Just like any other business under the Bezos empire, Whole Foods is now the king of loss leaders…in the grocery space. Food staples like eggs, beans, milk, in the store brand are often cheaper then what I see anywhere except Aldi, and haven’t shifted significantly with inflation. Amazon is attempting to use the current environment to grab market share.

Not to mention the fact that the Whole Foods store brand is better quality then other store brands, and equivalent or better then many boutique brands in other chains, like S&S, BigY, or Shop Rite.
