‪We currently have a mental health crisis and citizens of the Commonwealth only have past Governors to blame for closing most of the State Hospitals over the years. We have so few left and the largest- Tewksbury State is in desperate need of repairs & improvements. ‬

Wow, that's too bad. This is important info missing. Did you make a switch or call places?

In 2022, my overall gas payments were 40% supply and 60% delivery. We may save a lot of money by switching to a cheaper supplier, but because 3rd party supplier pricing is not available, I have no idea how much.

Specifically, I paid an average of $0.92/therm for supply and $1.36/therm for delivery.

Its definitely a nonsense smokescreen. BPD’s job is not to kill people as you stated. An astronomically low percentage of the time it happens and an astronomically high amount of time it is justified. The police also do have oversight. How’s this you even elect the people who oversee them. But again getting back to the core of the question…if some other folks at your company are illegally dumping somewhere and the EPA fines your company a million dollars . You’d be ok with paying the fines out of your pension/401K correct?

Not to mention if you use the PayByPhone app as a guest, you can still get ticketed and the app as well as the MBTA apparently don't have or keep records/receipts of guest pass purchases and PayByPhone doesn't text or e-mail you a receipt. Ask me how I know!

I spent 2018-2020 working on Albany and Mass Ave. Used to get to Kendall at 5:40-45 AM. Then SHTF and that slowly kept creeping up. Thankfully, I haven't had to work in Cambridge since 2020 but unfortunately now I am once again working in the PRC. Routinely show up at Kendall at or minutes past 6 AM. It depends on how long the doors stay open at each stop to let the freezing cold air in and then those nice mid-tunnel dead stops so the train can remember where it's supposed to go.
