>Trump ate them from the inside out and they didnt even feel it coming
Sure they did. Most Republican insiders were castigating Trumpism in 2015/early 2016. Then his cult of personality crescendoed with the braindead zombie masses (and some help from Russian bots) and they felt forced to jump on the wagon or be left behind. Now they are trapped, can't win many R primaries without Trumpism and can't win a general with it.

What about the Dock Square Garage, right next to Quincy Market?

Agree with the sentiment, but I'm guessing you have your order reversed and they put the airport a mile from the blue line.

There was a huge accident with a tractor trailer on 93S right around 2/3pm yesterday - it wouldn’t shock me if commuters decided to take 90 to 95S instead to get out of the city.

By way of indicating the level of French presence in Wisconsin, know that one of Milwaukee's summer festivals is called "Bastille Day Mardi Gras."

And the audacity to call the stop "Airport".

I always find it strange that with the abundance of fresh curds everywhere in that state, poutine is impossible to come by.

Garage under post office square. It's cheap on weekends, and perfect location

It’s not terrible if you have constant buses running to and from the terminals which is far more achievable than making the silver line have a dedicated bus lane, increase frequency, etc

Owning multi-million dollar property that you bought decades ago for next-to-nothing allows you to do a lot of things.
And selling $30 sandwiches to a corporate crowd for 3 hours a day (because that’s the only goddamn time folks eat lunch) is one of them.

Basically, bus bunching happens because when a bus gets behind it creates a self-reinforcing feedback loop.
Say a handful of strollers happen to get on a bus near rush hour and make loading and unloading slower than in the average situation. Now the bus is behind, and the further behind it gets, the more people are waiting at each stop, the more overcrowded it gets, the further behind it gets, and the cycle compounds until the next bus catches up and possibly jumps ahead to start picking up the excess passengers who are waiting at the stops.

There’s the Boston Common Garage, would probably be most convenient.
If you are in town for multiple days it will be much more convenient to utilize public transportation and avoid driving in town. Especially if you are coming during 4th of July.
is this just a day trip, or are you staying in town multiple days at a hotel or something?

Weekday or weekend? As others are saying, parking outside and taking a train in is probably universally your best bet. If there are other considerations that make that a disfavored option, I would highly advise against trying to park in the North End. You won't find any street parking in the part of the city that you're looking at that has 6+ hour parking, so a garage would really be your only option. Metered parking IS free after 8 and all day on Sunday, so you could technically do it from 6:01pm-8pm (it's usually max two hours) and then be fine if you stay longer. If you're coming on a weekend, I've never had any trouble finding parking in the Financial District. That said, there are some very cheap (like $10 all-day) garages that I would still recommend for ease of having an actual address to navigate to.
