Looks like remote, if they own the property they can sell. From what I understand businesses generally lease office spaces for 10 years at a time so maybe they’re just not renewing

Reply to PSA: Your MassHealth covers dental as well by DesiOtaku
If you're an adult it doesn't cover much. I recently switched to OneCare (Commonwealth Care Alliance) and they have much better dental coverage including root canals.
I'm hoping since I was in the middle of implants they'll cover at least some of it- I can't afford to finish.
The main issue with CCA dentists/oral surgeons is they're difficult to find and are usually booked months in advance.
Any suggestions?

The problem is this is a vicious GOP/Fox/MAGA/republican rumor meant to ridicule the Trans community. This is not harmless. That’s why people are reacting strongly. It’s discriminatory.

So glad that I could help. I’m sorry that the other commenters were misunderstanding your intentions. One of my children is transgender so this whole situation with the hoax is very upsetting.

I’m not asking anyone to prove it ISN’T true. I know you can’t prove a negative. That’s why I asked if someone had first hand knowledge. I assume it’s not true. This is essentially a way for me to prove to this coworker thief wrong and believed a fairly unbelievable rumor. But everyone assumes I believe it. Which is absurd to me. It’s very sad to me how many people make assumption about me based on this post. Instead of asking me what I thought. As I said in another response earlier I think this judgement of people without asking pertinent questions is a huge problem in society today. I honestly makes me sad. I wish people would just be better than that.

Yes. The rumor is 100% true.
In fact, governor Healey has made it one of the centerpieces of her governor’s term. Ultimately her goal is to make every Massachusetts schoolchild into a lesbian cat-person.
This has been confirmed by Fox, OAN, MAGAPatriotEagleFreedom.ru and Newsmax, which are all quality news networks.
The only thing that can be done to stop it is to pray towards Mar a Lago daily while ritually applying bright orange bronzer to your face and torso.

If this question is asked in good faith - and I prefer to initially always respond as if it is and give folks the benefit of the doubt - then, no. For added context, this is broadly understood to be a made up conservative claim used to mock and stoke anger towards trans youths and schools systems that might support and care for them. People feel very frustrated and react strongly when they hear hurtful hoaxes repeated, and if this question was asked in good faith it’s a good opportunity to extend them the understanding and benefit of the doubt that you wished you had received.

I guess you must just have people over all the time when you have a crazy place like that? Seems like it would be depressing and a little eerie hanging out in that giant place by yourself.
Also, that has to be the most boring collection of luxury cars I’ve ever seen. If I’m going to spend that kind of dough on cars, I’m at least going to buy something unusual or interesting.

Ummmm read some of my comment responses. Your blatantly wrong. There’s a reason I asked for someone who had frost hand knowledge because I’m fairly confident that won’t happen. See I knew you were wrong. Don’t make assumptions about people. It’s wrong and kinda mean to be honest.
Edit: people doing that like you did is probably one the biggest problems I society today. Why you assumed that I wanted it to be true is beyond me. You should never assume anything, ask questions of people get their true feeling on things. Don’t go hating people for no reason. Be better. We are guilty of this at times I suppose.

One school somewhere in the country put a litter box in a class or bathroom (I don’t remember) in case a child had to go during a shooting so there wouldn’t be a flush to give them away.
In response to that horrifying concept the right decided to take it and weaponize it against trans people, teachers, and the schooling system as a whole by turning it into the most idiotic, unbelievable, and hateful meme of the century.

I’m sure it was! I honestly didn’t know how to react when my coworker said it! I ended just laughing and asked him if he believed everything he hears!
Edit: I get a little guilty for laughing at him but oh well I guess

It is in fact a stupid rumor. I would not trust anything these people say. They sound MAGA.

Really so what does it tell you about me? I love that if someone asks a question someone can just make assumptions about them. I have a really strong feeling your assumption is incorrect by the way. But I’d love to openly answer any questions you have.

No. I don’t work in the schools. This is why I am asking if someone says it’s true ti provide proof. I have time believing it and it seems anyone who says it’s true has always heard it second or third hand. Seems to me that it is in fact a stupid rumor.which is pretty sad actually

So the people who are telling you this should be the ones giving you the evidence. Not people who know it’s outlandish, but don’t have any evidence…because they aren’t the ones believing the claim. You clearly don’t believe it either. Would you ask the Massachusetts subreddit why people keep telling you Lizard people are really and ask for them to provide evidence when they say it’s a silly claim?

So in our society it’s spreading a rumor to simply ask a question and asking for someone who says something is true to provide proof?

As a parent with school age children I’d like to give you a genuine answer. I have a high schooler and an elementary aged child who attend school at 2 different buildings in a district in the Merrimack Valley. If there were litter boxes in the bathrooms I would know. My youngest would immediately tell me. According to my teenager, between that TikTok trend of destroying school bathrooms and vaping, bathroom use at his school is heavily monitored. And if there were litter boxes it would absolutely be all over social media. There would be TikTok videos and Instagram posts from all over the country. It is a hoax.
