What’s a ptsd fracture? I’m very familiar with ptsd but never heard of a “ptsd fracture” before. Honest question.

Set a profit cap, this will sound a little crazy because it is complicated, but hear me out. Brand new idea. Instead of price caps, you set a profit cap, any money not directly reinvested in expanding utilities and growth has a cap. Set max profits to 5% of the company's value, and anything over that is taxed 110%. The tax over 100% is important so the company isn't incentivized to fund the state.

Well and the pay wall makes it virtually impossible to get any responses or send out anything

There was a Columbine survivor at Virginia Tech.
There was a survivor of a Canadian mass shooting at the Aurora theater shooting.
There were survivors of Oxford High(in Michigan) at this shooting.
I think America has a gun problem.

Great my faith in humanity has dwindled even more now that people are surviving two mass shootings in one lifetime

Yeah more money goes to shareholders when you stop upgrading your infrastructure and cut repair/maintenance staff. Cheaper to spend for out of state repair crews when the poop hits the fan.

He would’ve been prohibited from purchasing firearms from any store, since they’d run background checks and fingerprints. Whatever guns he had prior to the 2019 incidents, he would’ve likely have had to surrendered them.

Just curious I don’t know this trying to learn like when he was arrested and prohibited from having guns are all the guns he owned logged in with his lis so they should be able to go get them and know what he has?

Most people don’t understand the concept that a criminal will not obey any additional laws if he isn’t already obeying the existing laws. And laws are pointless if they aren’t enforced. Both of these can be true.

And people don't see that as a problem. By all means lets make new laws rather than enforcing the ones that are already on the books. I can only imagine the field day that our idiot senators are going to have with this.

The ads paid by customers are generally promoting efficiency and conservation programs that are funded through hidden taxes on your bill; Eversource is mandated to run the programs, advertise them, and notify customers about where the money comes from.
Eversource would have to pay for ads that simply promote the company using shareholder dollars.

more info on the shooter. his prior FELONY with a firearm was reduced to a single misdemeanor, but was still prohibited from possessing firearms

"shift responsibility for some costs" ... y'all remember when sandy came through and eversource was bailed out by the state to cover the cost of repairs because they can't be bothered with infrastructure maintenance? what a fucking grift. it's painfully obvious where our elected officials' interests lie.

Profit that is distributed to shareholders should come last in the hierarchy of how things are paid for. Especially for fines for bad response, rule breaking etc, that should come from their profits.

How would that work exactly? I mean I agree but can you just say “you can only pay the fines with the money you already have and you aren’t allowed to change rates (which needs approval to do anyway)”?

I swear you just pick a random assortment of towns and throw a poll just to troll people. Naugatuck was always going to come out towards the bottom. Only thing to do there is play Pokemon Go around the town green.

Well, you’re kind of missing the point then. The message she delivers in her video is that there needs to be change in the way of legislation. It’s time to stop empathizing (read- sending thoughts and prayers) with how it must feel to have lived through this or lived through it twice and start listening, conversing and debating on how legislation is the only real way to make any impactful change to something that everyone and their mother knows is only an issue here in this country.
Kudos to this young adult to have the strength to send a message during a time that is no doubt incredibly painful for her.
