I grew up in Hingham, we all drove over the border for cheaper gas and not having to get our hands dirty; thank you Weymouth

No wonder why Bellingham has so many gas stations

Wait, isn’t Arlington also one of the few dry towns in Mass? Or was until recently?

Better for the corporations who issue the bill

Nobody is asking you to do it, but don't take that choice away from others.

> pumped gas while the engine ran to save gas by keeping the car running 24 hours per day

How does this work? Why does it save gas to unnecessarily run the engine for ~2 minutes?

Because people voted against it in 2012.

Assisted suicide? No thanks

Any answer as to why anywhere does this?

I fucking hate 18. Even with the lane expansions it is so painful to drive on unless it’s between like 8 pm - 5 am.

Drive out of my way just to not fill up in Weymo. So frustrating

I live a couple towns away from Weymouth and never knew it was "illegal" there. I feel like Weymouth is sandwiched between ~ 6 towns all very close by where probably most people that live there don't even know that it is a law.

I just started bringing my own Coffee, unless it's a dollar McDonald's ice coffee I won't bother. That money can go a long way over the course of a year.

Oh, I'm not a landlord, I don't want to deal with mao-worshipping deadbeats like you. When time comes to move I'll just sell my place to the highest bidder who has the resources to boot you to the curb as soon as you stop paying, be it some large local slumlord or BlackRock. Funny thing is I got my place cheap and could rent it out cheap because it m not hurting for money but since MA loves deadbeats you'll be renting it from some slumlord and having your wallet raped instead.

Also my other question still stands - got a million for a condo? Or $300 per night for a hotel, perhaps?

The alternative is to simply not give them a choice, so they end up with the 10k+ bill automatically. That certainly doesn't seem better.

We allow it for our pets...

I'd be less disappointed if you said you were strictly in it for the cash, martyr complexes don't tend to be appealing in anyone.

Given the current housing shortages caused by rampant NIMBYism and downright idiotic housing policies which make new construction incredibly expensive landlords get to be very picky when choosing tenants - why take a risk on a single mother with spotty employment history who is quite likely to fall behind on rent when there's 10 well-paid professionals with no kids and perfect credit score fighting over a pen to sign the lease?

Seeing a lot of videos here on Reddit I can understand why...

I see you need a place to live and landlords are banned - got a million or so for a condo?

It should be allowed. Period.

Because there are actually some progressive concerns against it. I recommend reading this:

I understand that someone would get to a point that they are suffering so much, they are near the end of their life and this is the decision that is right for them. I just think it is really tricky for the state to put guidelines though law the point in which that would be allowed.. especially when people that get a really bad diagnosis a lot of times get really depressed and we don’t want them to make rash decisions. There is a reasons that all disability rights organizations oppose this. Like- how to decide which disabled is bad enough to kill yourself? In Canada they allow this for chronically I’ll and mentally ill people.

I also think this article speaks to the economic factors- , “So to put it starkly, if you’re faced with the choice at the end of life where one option is between $50 and $150 for a lethal prescription of medication to end your life versus tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for long-term care, that’s a pretty draconian choice to put in front of people.”

Call the career center directly. The RESEA / seminar lady set one up for me, and she said so long as it’s scheduled I should be good. It’s a PITA though
