You can shop around, but that's pretty average for cost for splits all around. I wouldn't trust a non HVAC person with it. I'm sure you could find someone who will do it for you for cheaper, but you'll have to buy the units and then you get what you pay for. Might as well have it done right and warrantied at the same time by a professional.

"Criminal acts to survive"

Are we still talking about US here? Nobody has to crime to survive in this country.

edit: people seriously expect those living in poverty to commit crimes? you people lack respect for those trying to climb the ladder in areas of concentrated poverty

I find it astonishing how CT just likes throwing money for solutions instead of making enforceable and equitable legislature to help solve the root problem.

Got a drug problem? Here is $100 bucks. Good luck. Cant find a job because you got a record? Here is some money, good luck. Suffer from mental illness? Here is some dough, good luck.

Because unverifiable anecdotes are worthless to the conversation. If it is true, great good for him. It’s still an anecdote and again worthless to the conversation. There’s more than enough proof showing that just sending prisoners out into the world with no support increases recidivism.

Reckon it ain't just that, but more. The govt needs more data for the surveillance state. They already track the movements of cars in cities, covering about 70% of adults as per Georgetown Law Center on Privacy & Technology. Time to get more data from the suburbs and rural areas by covering highways. Maybe towns next? As usual, the pretext tugs on the heart strings. Think of the children road workers. Why if you don't agree, you must not care about dead people.

Speaking of the workers and revenue though.. this is going to rinse lower-class workers. June 1 min. wage goes up to $15/hr. Get caught lacking on your way to work because your brain was mindlessly on "autopilot" for a wee bit? 2nd offense: 12% of your weekly take-home. 3rd offense? 30% of it! That's fair.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. How fitting. Fuck this pilot project and all automated enforcement.

PS: I love how your comment brought out a literal shill. Can't make it up.
