To walk, sure.

Why shouldn’t people with untreatable mental illness have the same option as people with untreatable physical illness?

Gotta stay vigilant though.

Is this insinuating Boylston St is bad? Because it’s pretty damn nice.

Only in America were someone be like just kill me because i don't want to leave my family in debt for years.

Even just across the line in CT when I watch the national weather I think "who knew central New England would become the country's garden spot?"

Yeah, I'm still in favor of this because I think it moves society to a generally better place if we allow people die quickly with dignity without stretching it out and suffering but, between existing inequities in our system, and concern about potential for abuse, there's a lot of pieces that need to put into place and fixed before we're anywhere close to an ideal

Your entire industry in the us exists because people were fed up with lack of choice, and don't stick to what they know is safe and what they will like.

I like collecting downvotes from our MAGA contingent so I will say that I see crazy things like what is going on in the bible belt and yes, very thankful.

For 2023, more people than ever paid for the whole season just a few miles north in Foxboro, where attendance is over 20k / game.

Another aspect of USL is that you will have dozens if not hundreds of traveling supporters coming to Pawtucket for these games.

Yeah, soccer tourism is a thing, even in the USL.

You literally said “soccer doesn’t make shit in the US”. Last I knew, LA is in the US.

Why are the markets not comparable?

USL has 34 game seasons; we can assume 17 home games over a spring/summer/fall with very little entertainment competition.

Compare that to a 150 game season for minor league baseball; 75 at home.

Scrolled past this...

Yeah, except we have our own loons trying to pull that shit in this state too. Remember to get involved in your kids school boards so that crazies like that woman in SK don’t get their way.

Correct - no proven demand. They do not have record breaking “season ticket sales”. They have record breaking season ticket deposits - deposits are only $24 / seat, and there is no info provided about how much those tickets will actually cost or how many games will be scheduled, meaning you have folks who made deposits who are unlikely to actually buy tickets when they find out how much they cost.

I used to be 100% for assisted death but then I had a conversation with a disability justice organizer that really made me nuance my way of thinking. She said that unless we have tax-funded healthcare that is free or low cost at point of service, some folks that may otherwise want to stick around might choose this to not leave their families with huge medical debt (assuming surgeries/hospital stays/hospice costs more than what this procedure would). There are a multitude of reasons as to why someone may or may not want to end their life, but cost should not be one.

With all the negativity I see from my fellow Ocean Staters on places like FB etc. it’s actually nice to see

Fuck the Pawsox. Why should taxpayers pony up to keep a wealthy team in the city?

I grew up in NYC in the 80s and 90s. It was different then. You can check the crime rates

AllTrails is also a pretty nice app for public hiking spots.

Yeah, because the LA market and the Pawtucket market are comparable. Why don’t you just post some articles about European markets? They’d be just as relevant.

The deposit was $24 per seat. Let's see how people actually pay for the whole season.

More like waiting for the hammer to drop - hopefully our turn for bullshit doesn’t come anytime soon!

new york has one of the lowest crime rates of any major us city
