Reply to I live on the south shore and had no idea self service was illegal in Weymouth. by noble_29
Full service gas stations are super popular on the south shore for some reason, so I guess it makes sense.

Oof, I appreciate this post. We're trying to decide where we want to settle in MA and I would not have thought the western MA healthcare was so poor.

Dang I didn’t know they’d closed down. I’ve never been (always go to BMC) and I wouldn’t have known it existed except my brother was born there.

If you compare per capita income, by county, to life expectancy, by county, it’s almost an exact correlation. Otherwise, Suffolk county would have the highest life expectancy in the United States, or maybe the world. It’s completely urban, and it’s home to tremendous medical facilities.

Oh yeah, there's just an emergency room there, the hospital closed almost ten years ago. And for anything serious I think you'd just get sent to Pittsfield anyway.

Then why is 100% urban Suffolk County 11th out of 14? It’s home to the finest hospitals in the world. It really comes down to economics more than anything.

Lots of cancer clusters in the Berkshires . Possibly long term issues from GE?

Consider getting a realtor to do the hard work for you. Free to renters in this state, they get paid by the landlord.

You probably won't know until it comes up. That having been said, I've never seen a conductor ask to see the CharlieCard for any student, senior or disabled mticket. They'll usually check for active ticket and the zones you're traveling and move on.
Edit: Same goes for the CharlieTickets as well. But you'd have to get them from the ticket office and those guys will check.

Yeah I put my “normal” school ID code in the app and it went through but idk if when I used the ticket and they asked to see my card if they’d be like “that type of ID doesn’t work for that”
Edit: I use to have a M7 in the app (so maybe it just used that code, I doubt it but a possibility) I believe bc my boy gave me to it bc I was poor as shit 💀 but I might apply for the youth pass program I know that would work

You'll still probably need the actual card regardless on if you only use the commuter rail or not since discount fares only show up in mticket if you've linked a CharlieCard that gives a discount. That's how it works for seniors and the disabled.

I don't know Jason Wood or anyone on the NAPD.
I'm am not trying to embarass him either as of this morning at 5am all of Berkshire county knows about this anyway and his non renewal of contract has been known to us for a week.Although the reason why was not known until early today.
If I had to make a guess he'll take a job with an upstate NY sheriff's dept where this story is less known and the local council's aren't stocked with woke SJW's

I think you really gotta look at it from the position of the guy who filed complaints finding the police chief at his house. It’s bad enough to deal with an affair; imagine finding out it’s someone in a position of extreme power in your town? What if it was a Democrat mayor? I think if it was a regular police officer they might’ve been able to let it go quietly but you can’t hide this one if it’s a town police chief. That’s a hell of a person to find your wife with and I’m not a man but I imagine it would make me nervous. It doesn’t look like he’s even fighting it either- sounds like he’s embarrassed and so is the woman. I don’t know if you’re friends with him or not but it’s pretty embarrassing I imagine for him so maybe this isn’t your hill to die on. If you’re trying to embarrass him by bringing attention to it than that is succeeding. I’d be willing to bet that he wants this to disappear and to quietly work somewhere else once his pay is finished.

If they had an affair with a student they are losing more than just a job.
I'm not defending adultry per say ,I just feel this is more woke SJW's mindless police persecution.
In Amherst three or four long time officers have taken a pay cut to work at other departments because they were so persecuted by the Woke's of Amherst.

What school?
You can buy a student card within the school easier.
