Lol, a thing of the past. What you're really seeing is a glimpse of things to come.

It might at least embarrass a few people into action. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and I feel like the FTA is probably very squeaky.

There's a few places in the Greater Boston area that I can spot but not sure if they're any good...

It’s particularly hilarious since one could make the argument that forcing Latinos to use Latinx is a form of “white colonialism,” which is the exact opposite of the intent.

I didn't know that was still a thing anymore? Same thing with paintball and airsoft. Are either one of those still popular or are the they all just another dying fad?

Budget not an issue?
Moncler, Canada goose, north face
On a budget?
Try sporting good stores like Sierra (I usually go to the one right across the border in salem so no sales tax)

The tattoo itself is anticapitalist. It’s an anticap tattoo, Im not seeking someone with my same values just someone who won’t mind making anticapitalist artwork.

This has got to be the least plausible plan to fix the T I have ever seen...
And that includes just demolishing it and starting over

I don't think he's the guy to say this. He was asked 2x at the press conference if he had Healey's full support including increased funding if needed. The first time he didn't answer the funding portion, the second time he said he would not use funding as an excuse and would work with what he has. It's hard for me to read that as anything other than Healey telling him that he will get no more funding for operations, which is reflected in her budget.

I feel like you are using the wrong words. Them not serving you in a discriminatory manner (my assumption based on the limited information) isn’t about their view of capitalism. If they don’t like your politics, they don’t like your politics but i guarantee capitalism and anti-capitalism has nothing to do with it. This comes off as someone saying they want a place that is okay with fuchsia because one place wasn’t when really they are asking about neon green.

Hey I lived there for a year. Had to try it once. Usually I got American but I gotta try everything. I actually probably didn’t live too far from you. I rented a second floor apartment on the 100 block of market street.

If you get cold in one of those, it's too cold to be outside.

It’s not a weird question at all? And I have a North Face puffy jacket that has lasted forever and keeps me nice and warm.

Because some shops make it very clear who is not welcome. I’m looking for shops that don’t have that kind of messaging.

I was born and raised in Philly, actually grew up a few blocks from Pats and Genos. I promise you, it's the tourist variant. LMAO. I try to warn people, I try so hard. But if it makes you happy, I support it... reluctantly.

What does that have to do with being anti-capitalist? I feel like those are separate issues in these modern times. Even non nazis might still be capitalists though. That seems like a harder find.

What would that have accomplished? The FTA taking over wouldn't have unlocked more resources for the MBTA, it simply would have forced the MBTA to use its existing resources to improve safety like it's currently doing. We're now seeing what happens when the MBTA starts to take safety more seriously while not having the resources in place to maintain service.
