What was dug can be filled.

That’s how public services work, yes. Same way I have to pay when the firefighters put out a fire.

>just make the damn mattress recycling program a free city service. It's really that simple.

So I have to pay for you to dispose of your personal property?

Unfortunately for that, the main railway that used to run all the way to Provincetown, the Old Colony Railway, was torn up part Hyannis decades ago, and a lot of the rail bed has been turned into bike path or just paved over and turned into streets. Heck, the branch that used to run to Chatham is now crossed by the airport runway.

At larger mountains many of the lifts start further up the mountain, so they require all lift employees to be able to ski safely enough to get from one lift to another easily. With the exception of Wachusett, most places in MA have all the lifts starting at the base level so anyone can walk up to them.

There's also a lot more people in MA who want easy consistent seasonal work than there are avid skier/snowboarders who don't mind making minimum wage. With the work being seasonal they get away with not paying overtime, so many of the lift operators/attendants are working open to close 7 days a week

Woah!!!!! Had this exact same wallpaper in our kitchen in the 1970s. Bristol RI.

No solution is coming until it is in dire need and they haven't implemented the short term solution yet.

Nah. By getting bring the wheel you are taking responsibility in the same way that putting your finger on the trigger of a gun you are taking responsibility. If you brought a gun into a crowded space closed your eyes and just started popping off you wouldn't call it a 'gun accident' why should we kill it a car accident?

It’s very complex, especially as we are talking about a subject is nothing but opinions and interpretations. But I couldn’t agree more. I’m happy that black artists are producing more black art for us to experience, I just feel like the statue turned out how it did (headless) because it’s black and that’s why my complaint is what it is

We build canals to get boats to move faster - and then build bridges over the canals we built...

Why?

I agree that lack of representation is an issue and understand the point you’re making - but I think it’s made more complicated by the fact that Black artists are also vastly underrepresented in public art, and this is the work of a contemporary Black artist. I don’t think one issue negates or cancels out the other, it just feels complex.

When it comes to a statue of Martin Luther King, I’m gonna keep any opinions to myself

BS. I love the pike. Take it every day. Happy to pay the tolls to cover the O&M costs of the road. I would remove the gas tax and put tolls on all the divided highways.

Dr king looked at it from heaven shaked his head in disgust and ask for a shot of henny from heavens bar

You can't comment on something because of the color of your skin?

I don’t understand why more people don’t use the tunnel 🫤

• withholding judgement until I see it in person

Doesn't work that way. The Mass pike was paid for eons ago but the temporary tolls still remain in place. It's neither done, paid for, or made anyone happy

Thanks for that suggestion! What a trip down memory lane ;). My childhood home was furnished in 1950s through 1970s Ethan Allen. I still have some of it.

There's no option for "I don't really have an opinion."

It's nice to see my hometown on the news every now and then.

No good solution?

There are solutions, they're just not easy solutions.

Why do we keep waiting for the pain of the unchanged to be worse than just changing?

Trains, tunnels, get it done.

I find it unsettling. Like somethings not quite right about it.
