Youre actually helping them out too. They’re selling energy you overproduce to your neighbors. They charge your neighbors the same high price as everyone else but it cost Eversource very little. Im all for solar, just not Eversource benefiting from it.

You are better than I could ever be. I like downloading massive games in 30 minutes with my 1200mbps plan. I hated how long it took when I was at 50mbps, sometimes I would take a nap and it would still be downloading!

Now that Connecticut's fiscal house is in better shape, Lamont should invest in some serious public transit and infrastructure projects for the cities (especially the one near NYC). If the cities had more to do, young talent would stay in CT.

You are correct! I think the brothers had fight or something that lead to the split.

Fun fact: Aldi is actually 2 independent companies, Nord and Süd (north and south), run by brothers but otherwise not connected.
Aldi Nord is the business that owns Trader Joe's while Aldi Süd is the company that owns the US Aldi stores, so the two businesses in the US are also not related.

Got links to that Republican bill?
Smells like bullshit.
E: Yeah it's bullshit. Not even a real bill. Just one sentence, practically written in crayon. Zero shot it's going to pass.
Most of this dude's bills are identical. Pie in the sky headlines, zero chance of passing into law without being completely rewritten by someone competent, or, I should say, even written in the first place. Full of tax cuts for the super rich and benefit cuts for the poor. https://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/cgabillstatus/cgabillstatus.asp?selBillType=Bill&bill_num=SB00171&which_year=2023

I've never seen any of the Trader Joe's or JosephsBrau beers in CT stores (I've most often been to Danbury and West Hartford).
Trader Joe's in CT used to sell a store brand of beer (at least an amber and an IPA) made by "State Line Brewing" which was contract brewed by Cottrell Brewing. Cottrell closed in 2022, so I assume that State Line is gone as well.
I would guess that Trader Joe's haven't done the paperwork to distribute their beers in the state and it was simply easier to contract brew a different line in-state.

Hell why stop there, think of all the promotions we're missing out on.
Buy an ounce of our new Connecticut weed and get a free abortion coupon.

Fun fact: in CT, you don’t need a Costco membership to shop at their liquor store and their store brands are often name brands in disguise.

Yes, it’s a thing. And yes, it’s really $3.
I used to live in a state where you can get any kind of alcohol at grocery stores, gas stations, etc and Aldi had a great selection of wine.

It is a thing in other states, for both stores. Trader Joe’s wine is famously called 2-buck-chuck, but I think the price is closer to $5/$6 a bottle now. I’ve also been to Aldi in Germany (it’s home country) and it was amazing.
