Everyone forgets about the tunnel, but I don't think op is a resident so can't get the sticker.

And on the flip side, having extra daylight late at night tricks your body into thinking it’s earlier than it is and you take longer to go to sleep (which is why the experts who proposed the act said people lose an average of 30 something minutes of sleep per night during DST).

And the majority of outstanding mortgages are under 3%. Everyone and their mom refinanced in 20-21.

Which is the better choice. Sunlight in the morning is more important to the sleep cycle.

For sure. We’re definitely in the second Gilded Age but the robber barons don’t wear monocles anymore. I think a lot of it comes down to the misalignment of power where a business like Amazon is able to lobby and dictate the terms of contracts while providing very little in concrete guarantees to these local governments.

Reply to Union Jobs information.. by givingup3579
Pretty much every state job is a Union, if you go to the mass careers website and click on a job you like it’ll say what bargaining unit that job is for. I’m an accountant with the NAGE Union. The state is also desperately hiring

Reply to comment by Yestattooshurt in What's the Western MA Market Basket Equivalent? by TittyMongoose42
there's only one reason: it's cheap as hell when compared to everything else. you can only sometimes get slightly cheaper by going to costco or something.
my only gripe is S&S and its ilk have a larger selection of goods than MB. obviously this impacts the price, but again, my only gripe.

Same thing in my town. They started building one in a strip mall (bought a bunch of units and demoed them, worked on the exterior and electricity inside, etc.) It was supposed to be ready over a year ago. They never finished the inside and it’s just been sitting there.

Ask him to describe the projects he loves best.
Do FB, google & Reddit searches to locate posts from people looking to have that type of work done. Make a list of the words they use to describe the work, the questions they ask in posts and Google search terms they use.
Create a FB page for his business and craft posts using the words/questions/search terms from your research including before/after images of the work - and his location. Bonus points for video clips.
If you see posts in local FB or next door groups have him answer questions or drop a link to his FB page.
Triple bonus points if you can build him a website and create posts using the same tactics.

Nextdoor. The app is a hellscape of suburban anxiety, but the business referral piece seems to be really effective.

A year or two ago I had a sharp pain in my lower leg. I went to the ER (Emerson Hospital) on a weekend told them my symptoms. They did an ultrasound on my leg that day and found I had a small blood clot. I was prescribed blood thinners and had a follow up with my primary doctor and soon after a follow up ultrasound. The clot resolved itself and was no more.
FRICKIN' how did they not order up a simple noninvasive ultrasound for this man?

oh, i absolutely agree. i just think in this case it's not explicitly malice, although i could be convinced otherwise. i DO think that the way tech companies are run are somewhere between stupid and malicious, still not sure on which side of the line they're on yet. but i doubt there's any corruption happening at a large scale.
