Only partially. There was nothing very special or egregious about this derailment; it could have happened anywhere, anytime over the last several decades. The Lac Megantic disaster was much worse in terms of lives lost, community damage and railroad negligence.

Yeah, if the only place in New England you've been is Boston, you might not understand that Lowell and Worcester are definitely grittier than Boston in my experience

Democrats, including Biden, the "most pro-union president in history", are just as complicit with the Ohio disaster as Republicans are. Only 8 Democrats voted against the Railway Labor Act, which forced rail unions to accept a contract that benefitted railway companies instead of the workers and stripped them of their bargaining power.

Too good to be true. This is common in every town.
They're.going to get you to lease them and claim your electric savings will pay for the lease and your electric bill

To be honest, I would have expected their CEO to be worth billions, not millions

It says his net worth is at least $11 million, way higher is not ruled out.

Really broke but still have many blessings to focus on. Hang in there everyone.

The motto is too long in my opinion. It doesn’t really have any oomf to it. Especially considering next door you got New Hampshire with “Live Free or Die”

Utilities and groceries cost itself confines us at home most of the time now. I want to bring the kids out but everything is just so expensive. Hell even stopping by McDonalds is like $20 for the family.

Reply to comment by SideBarParty in Solar Panels by Technical_Pay9104
That’s the deal I have from a friends solar company. They do well with incentives and overproduction. But I have a nearly zero dollar electric bill these days. I didn’t pay anything now will I ever pay anything. But the biggest bill I have seen in the last few years is like $8.
Great for me in my position because I won’t be in this house forever and I knew this when I signed up for it. My next house I will buy the panels outright and they will be on the ground. That’s what my parents did like 12 years ago and they make lots of $$$ off them.

Too bad Republicans in Congress voted against the Democratic plan to give the workers what they wanted, you mean.

And the Worcester Art Museum. Worcester Historical Museum is free all this month. Highland Street Foundation usually sponsors free Fridays at MA museums over the summer, but those days are packed.

You can, but you need to be financially eligible. And it’s not hard to make too much to qualify.

Railroads are common carriers. They don’t have the option to not haul vinyl chloride if customers need it moved.
