Reply to Hopelessly shoveling extremely heavy and wet snow out of my driveway out at six in the morning when a front loader operator driving by feels like saving my life. Absolute hero. by West_Ad_8279
That's funny, my neighbor got the opposite treatment. Just as he was nearing shoveling his driveway the plow came by and pushed 2 more feet into his driveway. Win some lose some

Some towns have transfer stations or swap shops. You would have to live in that town to use it.

Is that what used to be Mad Mike's or whatever. Looks like the building but not the surroundings? Haven't been to Lisbon in over a year due to gas prices but I would check this place out.

You say "he's literally blaming Maine's housing shortages on migrants". He didn't say that... at all, anywhere.
Pointing out that immigrants and single mothers can move into affordable housing is not blaming the housing shortage on migrants. You're making insane conclusions based on an incompetent interpretation of one sentence, focusing on the migrant portion of his comment more than single mothers likely because of your own personal bias.
I'm not sure why you're interpreting what he said the way you are. He's not wrong in saying migrants move into affordable housing. They do. As he pointed out, so do single mothers. As I pointed out, so do vets, elderly, etc.
You're the one that's somehow interpreting these facts as migrants being the cause of Maine's housing shortage. That's not what he's saying. That's not what I'm saying. Your interpretation of our words are woefully incorrect; you are wrong.
He's tried to respectfully explain this several times to no avail. I'm trying to clarify his words for you too, but instead of referring to anything he actually said or have intelligent debate, you're just being rude.

He’s literally blaming Maine’s housing shortages on migrants despite Maine receiving a grand total of 900 migrants per year. If you don’t think it’s racist to immediately blame minorities for problems then you’re probably a typical mindless LePage drone too. Go move to Texas or something.

this used to allowed all the time but towns have caught on to how to leverage the revenue stream. it doesnt pay much but properly separating the scrap helps then recoup some operating costs. not all of it can be resold but they have to have an all or nothing is ok rule to keep the scrappers from raiding their piles.
brunswick used to have a free for the taking table but that went away when they closed grahm road landfill.

A high school buddy named his Fisher plow "Clarence" after another high school buddy who went to work for Fisher.
As with the dude, the plow never saw a tree it did not like.

Scotland also names its plows and gritters.
Gritta Thunberg, Grit Expectations, and it tails off from there.

The Scots have you. Plenty of good ideas here - my fave is Creedence Clear-Road Revival, but I can see the case for Gritney Spears.

he clearly said "and I am not saying they shouldn't be" after pointing out the fact that yes, a lot of affordable housing does indeed go to immigrants and single mothers.. it also goes to firemen, waiters, veterans, disabled, and elderly/retired people.
That user said absolutely nothing derogatory about immigrants despite a few closed-minded commenters like yourself trying to make it seem that way.
