could make you one!

I understand your grief - but you sound super entitled.

Don't feel bad I'm a native and people don't recognize my last name until I get into the nitty gritty of my family tree, having to explain it is tiresome. Once they are like "oh I know your uncle" I'm good but still please stop asking if I just moved here LOL

I guess the question is - what exactly would satisfy his critics?

I have no horse in the game, just curious what a pound of flesh in this situation looks like.

I kept reading and re-reading this post trying to find something actually awful that he said. Still looking. He made a dumb gaffe and then sob-storied apologized for it. There are much worse people out there.

I'm sure Peter Welch will get to the bottom of this!

We recently stayed at the Hyatt Regency on One avenue de Lafayette, and it was $41 for 24 hours of parking in the garage. The garage is not associated with the hotel. We then walked everywhere.

Interesting! good info thank you!

The T is the way to go.

For Sox games I'll usually park overnight at Riverside on the Green D line.

I know that. The author of the article suggests that he could have made a sincere apology instead, and my point is that no apology is ever sincere enough in these circles.

"We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

A sincere apology has multiple parts:

• Expressing regret

• Accept responsibility

• Making restitution

• Requesting forgiveness

• Genuine promise of change

This guy's non-apology statement was along the lines of a toss off "I'm sorry if people were offended but..."

You’re seriously asking for proof that apologies make people feel better? Are you 5?

This article reads like a tumble hate blog post and while the man did make a gaffe, the only real problem socially is that he said what he said without first identifying as an ally and supporter of civil rights. I guarantee if kendi suggested this with the exact same wording, people would cheer for it.

If you want to actually drive to Mass and take public transit into Boston, you could park at a public parking garage on the commuter line in. Eg, park at the Lowell station and take the Lowell line into North station. I have no idea what the "real" availability of parking is at these places though. https://www.mbta.com/parking/stations-and-rates

There's a megabus that goes Burlington --> Montpelier --> Boston, but it only runs on Fri and Sun currently: https://us.megabus.com/route-guides/burlington-to-boston-bus

There's also Greyhound, though it's a bit more expensive: https://www.greyhound.com/en-us/bus-stations-in-vermont

There's also the Dartmouth Coach from Lebanon, NH to S Station in Boston. Reasonable price, lots of trips per day to Boston. You still have to drive to get to NH, pay $5/d to park your car, and pay for the bus itself, but it avoids the driving and parking headaches in Boston: https://dartmouthcoach.com/route/upper-valley-to-boston-logan-airport/

An alternative to the Dartmouth Coach is Concord Coach lines, but you have to drive the longer route to Concord, NH: https://concordcoachlines.com/route/northern-nh-to-from-boston-logan-airport/

You’re conflating things. Apologizing would have worked at defusing tensions. It would not be a free pass to going back to normal like nothing happened.

That’s the mindset of a “nice guy” — “I was nice, you owe me sex.” “I apologized, give me what I want and stop judging me for my actions.”

Accountability is still a thing and no one owes this man anything, certainly not a position of authority.

You can print off a temp.

This place is really great. Bring a mask! And you will find helpful people and lots of choices.

"We have investigated ourselves and after a very detailed investigation we found ourselves completely innocent"

Show me one case where a white man like him ever apologized to the satisfaction of his critics.

That would have worked.

What doesn't work is white men acting like owning up to their misguided beliefs or apologizing emphatically is tantamount to death.

They have a strong union, too. Good job to apply for

Drive to the Dartmouth Coach bus station in Lebanon, NH. Take the bus to South Station. You’ll be right in the city and can take the T, Uber, or walk to wherever you need to go.

Mail delivery has sucked in Waitsfield for a while, too. Ridiculous might be the new normal.
