Right that was I thought I was getting across.
I would think that with ready access to boosters we’d have less hospitalizations than last year, not hitting them quicker.

We’re hitting highs faster than we did last year.
And I would expect going into year 3 of this we’d know enough and have enough boosters to not hit hospitalizations annually.

Well that didn’t work because their vaccine didn’t work.

Hospitalizations are the highest they’ve been since January of this year, couple weeks ahead of last years winter surge.
Time to hunker down, test before gathering, and wear a mask in the grocery store for a couple weeks.
Or not, whatever.
I will, you guys do you.

Reply to worst area in Boston mbta wise ?? by kingreph3
Southie east of Dot Ave. Chelsea just purely due to its proximity to the downtown and total lack of rapid transit. (I know “cHeLsEa iSn’t BoStoN” but it’s Suffolk county and more relevant than the western Boston neighborhoods).

They are taken out of “a” learning environment, not all learning environments.

Less restrictive, absolutely!
Not total abolishment; some libertarian pipe dream of “build anything you want anywhere and it’ll just sort itself out.”

The solution to one extreme is seldom the other extreme, it’s moderation.

IIRC, Acela literally only has Business Class and First Class (I believe that gets you an attendant).

Assigned seats on the way down aren’t super important since the NE Regional starts at South Station and you have free reign… but assigned seats **are **nice for when you’re returning to BOS from NY and the train is already full with coming from DC/Philly, and you have to go hunting through a few cars for a seat, possibly facing backwards or next to the bathroom that smells like a hot morgue.

1: Book as far in advance as possible.
2: The NE regional business class is worth it (to have assigned seating) and it’s only like 20-30 mins slower. It’s totally fine.

Sort of making the argument that PR would benefit tremendously from Jones Act repeal, as it’s far closer to American ports?

>To add: It's absolutely insane it is illegal to fill a ship with LNG in Texas and sail it up to Boston Harbor. It has to be rail or pipeline by law.
It’s not illegal to ship LNG, it’s just that there are no American flagged vessels who can do it.
Only American flagged vessels can trade between America ports, which was meant to keep the shipping industry alive in order for us to be able to raise a navy.
This was decades before the military industrial complex created a mind boggling defense industry of shipbuilders that do nothing but build warships.
Since basically all LNG transporters are foreign, we cannot buy American fuel from an American port and transport it here.
We have to buy it internationally, from further away, and compete with international buyers who are in turn, squeezed by Russia.
Repealing the Jones Act would allow foreign ships to bring us domestic natural gas, and would allow foreign (cheaper) ships to operate between Puerto and the Continental US, driving the cost of everything down significantly, and opening them to more trade.
