Well if 156,000 people got $1000 each it would be $156 million. You're right each worker could have gotten $673. $91 seems pretty far off from $673 to me, but I don't know what your yearly salary is.

Maybe you were at the upper end of qualifying applicants?

Sorry for the diatribe haha Based on the 5 CT towns I’ve spent significant time in as an adult, I’d have to say West Hartford has personally been the best experience. There’s a good sense of community, people seem to be more accepting. It’s fairly upscale and safe, but lacks the sting of snobbery. There’s comparatively more racial, cultural, and social diversity, the schools are good, and the downtown/blueback area has a lot going on. It’s a great place to raise kids, as most of the neighborhoods are very walkable and are set up in a way that seems to promote social interaction. The town radiates with opportunities for kids to grow up well rounded and learn life in a safe (but not insular) environment

Or and not saying this is the case, just lending some insight. Perhaps OP might have debilitating mental health issues, autism, or just shell shocked from life. Not everyone can be as pragmatic as most. I do agree that it's lame that no update as given ( I was the original helper) especially after many offered help and solutions but who knows what happened. While Noble, not sure if sending him Venmo would be the right move. I would hope that he did the right thing with the cash but something about him gave me the feeling that he might be in recovery or actively engaged in some sort of opiate use. I dunno

Hey man, I moved up from Florida a couple of years ago and my friends are all back home. Looking to make new friends my girl and I live in New Haven, which is still probably like 25 mins from you. I enjoy craft beer, comedy, basketball, football

Correct me if I’m wrong but almost all the 156,000 workers qualified would receive 1000 if the total funding was $105 million. With that math technically all 156,000 qualified workers could have gotten 673.08.

They're designed to be able to remove stripped torx heads. There is also a set that does stripped hex heads. Stanley black and Decker owns the tool brands Mac and Proto, as well as the patent on these two types of sockets. As a result, they sell the hex set for about $115 through Mac and about $70 through proto, however the torx set is $200 and is exclusive to Mac and of course it's the one I need. No other company stateside has a product even remotely similar and I'd rather give the local owner operator the business than ordering through Mac corporate. My current application is a T40 with stripped cams on a pressure plate fastened to my engine. There isn't any clearance next to the bolt head to use the standard $18 bolt extractors, and I'm not chancing an e-z out to make it worse. I've been in this position before, I'm sure this won't be the last is how I've justified it. Frankly, if they work as intended, this set will pay for itself at its first use.
