On 63 you have McDonald's, BK, Taco Bell and a g's burgers. From Waterbury the only franchise worth eating in town is Frankie's or nardellis. Tons of small places are nice in Waterbury, but fast food is such shit. So easy to take a ride up to Watertown. I wish someone would do a live review of the difference in quality. They get paid the same shit wages, I don't understand why Waterbury has so little pride even their cheap food is shit. You think it would be banging. Sure the Taco Trucks are banging but franchise food is shit. Kfc isn't bad. Although we all hear the rat stories.

I was quoted between 8k and 13k. Settled on a contractor that did it for 10k. That's with rebates applied. You pay the loan back through your electric bill as a separate charge. No money down less than 1% 10k loan? For me financially it was a no brainer considering my second floor had no heating or cooling system when I bought it. It was our first project in the new old house.

How do you know what I do to advocate and fight for rights in both our state and other states from one comment? I’ve lived in several areas of the US, but truly came back because I felt that I could effectuate more change here. I work with some of the most helpless folks in society to help level the playing field DAILY. I foster children who need a home and give up any semblance of a personal life. But it’s worth it to help children feel safe and loved. I donate to organizations that can actually effectuate change in states where rights are being robbed. If everyone could get in there and make small grassroots changes, then maybe we could make some movement as a country towards a better life for everyone. One where EVERYONE’S basic needs are met. But until then, all I can do is try to make the most of this one life I’ve been given, to use my voice and advantages to advocate for others. Just wanted to share that you can’t make an assumption about someone based on 2 sentences on a Reddit thread.

Came here to say the same. Someone I was really close with was a felon and worked at a dealership for a long time. Multiple other lube techs also had records. It was good money & most are willing to put you through school or train you to get further within the job. They also worked for Amazon before their charges were cleared. Lots of people there also had something on their background checks.

Dude call the international union of bricklayers and allied craft workers in wallingford.

You'll start at over 20/hr. Pension, insurance, annuity and good pay.

They don't care about court cases or felonies, it's construction.
