Reply to Could ‘magic mushrooms’ become legal in Mass.? Lawmakers are looking into it by ak47workaccnt

Slightly misleading title there, GBH.

Some state senator who has no experience with the drug gets to arbitrarily decide how much is worth going to jail over:

>“This is different from legalization,’’ Jehlen said. “This is allowing personal use up to two grams. I think that’s probably enough for most people to use all the mushrooms they want to in their life.”

Reply to Massachusetts laws that go into effect in 2023 by ak47workaccnt

>The Massachusetts Blue Law controls which businesses can operate on Sundays and on some legal holidays. For some retailers in the state, they are required to pay employees a premium rate on Sundays if the business employs more than seven workers.

>However, since 2018 this rate has been slowly declining and by January 1, 2023, that premium payments will be eliminated.

I didn't know about this one. I get that state shouldn't legally treat Sunday as different than any other day, but it sucks that people are losing that extra pay.

Reply to Proposed permanent housing building for those experiencing homelessness raises concerns with some Dorchester residents by ak47workaccnt

Will the nimbys win this round?

>"I have a huge heart and I definitely am for these type of projects, this just isn't the location," said Mancuso. "Our kids, I want them to be safe ... As a parent, I couldn't feel safe with my children walking the streets with this kind of homelessness, drugs."

She doesn't realize this is an effort to reduce homelessness and by extension, public drug use and crime?

>"We're maxed out, we don't need it," said Dillon. "Find somewhere else. There's a ton of places in the city that this can go in and, better yet, go outside the city. Why does Dorchester, Roxbury always have to take the brunt of this? And we're just ... we're done. We've had enough."

Yeah! Ship our homeless somewhere else. That's the solution /s

Reply to Texas man charged for threatening Boston doctor who provides care to transgender patients by cryptnificent

>“You sick motherfs, you’re all gonna burn. There’s a group of people on their way to handle [victim]. You signed your own warrant, [victim]. Castrating our children. You’ve woken up enough people. And upset enough of us. And you signed your own ticket. Sleep well, you f****, c***,” Lindner allegedly said in the voicemail, according to U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins’s office.

This is what media is doing to dim-witted boomers. Turning them into terrorists.

>Lindner was charged with interstate transmission of threatening communication, which can lead to a sentence of up to five years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000, officials said.

Should be fired.

>Quilty remains on unpaid administrative leave from the Natick Police Department. The Natick Select Board will meet as early as possible to fully review his employment status and make "an expeditious determination," according to Ryan and Hicks.

It shouldn't be this hard to fire a cop.
