Just an FYI, correct me if I'm wrong, a few years ago Worcester changed the supplier from Ngrid to their own (Direct Energy) and by default everyone's supplier defaulted to them unless you opted out to stay with NGrid supplier. If you look at your utility bill you'll see "DIRECT ENERGY" as your supplier.
Also, the rates they're talking about is only the supply service, there's still the delivery/transmission rates which is owned by NGrid which adds another ~$0.13/kwh

"Vystar, a publicly traded company, acquired a majority interest in the company in 2019. Steven Rotman is CEO of Vystar. He previously said that Rotmans ended 2021 at around $30 million in sales, two to three million less than prior to the pandemic. ". From the article that was posted. He's not a retiree, he's the majority shareholder of vystar, which owns rotmans. You are exactly what my first comment was referring to, somebody that looks at the parking lot once a week and thinks they know what's going on over there. Vystar s financials are public and you can see the 30 million on their annual financial statement. It's a holding company he created to sell air purifiers, latex mattresses, condoms and to operate rotmans. This article also pretty clearly says they turned showroom into warehouse with the renovation to have more things in stock at the time of purchase to ship faster

For the record, I think rotmans sucks, but they've been stacking cash for the better part of 100 years. If they are closing, it's probably because they feel like it.

I still go to UMass for my primary care doc. And I hate them. I never see my actual doctor. I get charged for “urgent visits” that they then schedule a week out. I had a follow up for a cat scan that was 3 fucking months after the scan. And it wasn’t even with my actual doctor. Just an NP. I switched my OB/gyn to St. Vincent and my experience there has always been so much better.

No reason not to do it, you literally just save money.

Omggg😍😍😍😍😍😍

I’m not conservative. Texas isn’t a blanket red state, it’s extremely gerrymandered and highly under organized. There’s a lot of really good community work going on there. And not to mention my home city passed one of the most progressive police budget reform bills in the country. It just got rolled back my our Shiraz’s governor, like everything else good here.

Their ads said it was their showroom, they were on ever street corner in eastern MA. Just Google Rotmans remodel 2021, all the articles say showroom. Not to mention their building is falling apart, not sure why that was neglected in the "remodel". And they're a publicly traded company now, have been since 2019. No way those board members are just going to let a "30mil a year" company just dissolve because a retiree got tired of running the business. They'll either turn into a e-commerce company or rebrand. Or in true Rotmans fashion, suddenly not be closing anymore.

Just to note I've never been inside or bought anything from them. However I have lived almost directly next to it for the better part of 6 years and have seen the shooty sales tactics they use first hand.

I barely got into my last apartment with a cat.

TLDR: the average user will save about $42/month under the Worcester aggregate rates

(note: I just signed up myself, I don't have any specific knowledge of the program)

Edit 10/19: National Grid doesn't formally switch you until your next meter reading, so look on your bill to see when that is to have an idea of when it will take place. Luckily mine is in early November, but if yours is later, you might still be paying the higher rates for multiple billing cycles.

At least it doesn’t look like there’s penetration.

It depends.

My kids mother had a c section in both.

A part of the process after the surgery a doctor would come in and physically check the location of the uterus by pushing forcefully on her belly.

It's incredibly painful, so I have been told.

At UMass they did this to her 3 times a day for 5 days. A troop of doctors would march in and a new one would push each time.

St Vincent's it was done once a day by the OBGN on duty.

We finally realized that at UMass, those were students or residents coming in and doing a necessary procedure more frequently than needed.

Honestly, I think UMass did a great job, just need to be aware that it is a teaching hospital.

St Vincent's... Never even got my kids mom's negative covid test until day 3 and did not quarantine us or anything until she got a random fever on day 2... They all went into a panic

But we all lived.

I'd recommend the Highland St. location. Grove St. is fine, but not as good.

This is what I was going to suggest. My local branch has about 10 video games (nothing newer than WiiU), but my kids will request games and get them from all over the CW/MARS system.

When I've needed to call AAA in the past two years, it always takes FOREVER for someone to be routed to me (even if the call itself is simple).

It's worth it to call back if you've been waiting a long time and get a new ETA.
