Offering me a half-price ticket to ride a train that may or may not come (flip a coin) when I depend on that transportation for my livelihood...the price of the ticket really isn't the main issue at heart is it?

Not saying it's half-price but you get the point. I don't remember her running on the promise of half-baked band-aid solutions? Was that a commercial of hers that I missed?

These are good examples because those things also look like hands holding a giant turd or horse penis.

Art is not sacrosanct and neither are artists. Art can be bad. It can resemble things its not supposed to and can have unintended interpretations. Art can be amazing, it can also be trash.

This is a $10 million dollar piece of art that many feel resembles hands holding a turd. That POV has garnered national attention because that POV is not uncommon.

Art can be trash. That's statue is trash.

In one of the most expensive cities in the US, with some of the most expensive colleges in the US, everyone is going to college to make less money and is super ant-capitslist while the feed thr beast...lol.

Meanwhile Biden's biggest political donors are Dan Crenshaw's largest donors.

The Overton Window only slides left. Its all a joke and thr hypocrisy is endless.

So everyone wants green spaces, but also wants those green spaces to be bulldozed for housing. Putting an airport in a major city is bad because it lowered property values, causes noise pollution andthe land could be better used for more housing.

Thus it would have been better to build this thing out west of 128 or 495 where green space would have been bulldozed for the airport and the surrounding property values would have dropped. Got it.

Dude, you live in a city, an expensive city. One of the great things about greater Boston is that its so darn small. So its virtually nothing to go get your green area fix outside the city.

But yes, paradise lost. Its happened all over the country. Look at central and western mass, beautiful old homes literally feet from main roads, rivers and lakes too toxic to eat the fish from, great woods for hiking and hunting bulldozed to put up a Target plaza with a 110 Grill and whatnot. Yeah, it sucks.

As for the whole anti-government and rebellious aspect of the article, I'm sorry but if Rage Against the Machine was Millenial or GenZ the lyrics would be "F$## YOU YOU BETTER DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU!!" So that whole aspect of the story isnt needed.

Finally, the environmentalism aspect, when people stop buying goods from India, South East Asia (countries we've killed our manufacturing for and essentially exported slavery) I may start to believe that people give a crap about the environment. Until then, buying goods that have to cross the Pacific on a ship that burns 12 gallons of fuel for every foot it moves is a HUGE indicator that people dont actuallu care about the environment.

Its sad, yes its a bit of paradise lost, and its not stopping.

Everytime something happens to people who arent me, caused by people who arent me, someone who is not me wants to go diving in my pockets.

How about this, open a GoFundMe for all of the victims. I assume that as outraged as you are you know them. Then, dump a whole bunch of YOUR MONEY into it.

See, there are a lot of people out there just making ends meet and you're advocating taking even more from them in order to satisfy some feeling of justice. Its gross.

So set it up, and dump in some of YOUR MONEY. I mean its the least you could do. Well, I guess the least you could do would be nothing...followed by coming onto reddit trying to get internet points.

LAME.
