We’re glad you’re here!

You also have a well educated workforce in general, both technical and professional, excellent access to 2 huge ports ( NYC, Boston), a well developed transportation network, and a concentrated, relatively stable ( ie non transient) population.

But in fairness, most of this can be said of a lot of areas of the country.

That’s a good point, what came first: the train or the manufacturing? The history of the CT railroad would be an interesting read.

I'm no economics expert, so this is probably heavily generalized and comes from my point of view, not necessarily facts. If that makes sense. Freight lines make it easier and cheaper to transport large amounts of manufactured stuffs. Being located near one decreases the cost of transporting goods to the freight station. If that didn't your question, people also generally don't like living next to a noisy train line.

I love how the hype it this is my favorite a forcsst with a snow flake and a temp of 39 degrees. Ummmmm I learned in 1st grade that’s to warm

So you get banned?

Manufacturing really never disappeared. It has ups and downs, just like anything else. And for a lot of it that might use big, heavy or difficult machinery, you're not likely to want to have to move it all that much, so if you can still stay put and make money, you might as well stick around.

I'd wager the train line is where it is because of the manufacturing, not the other way around.

I wish I could just give you a hug dude. I am proud of you for surviving that and having an empathetic spirit for others. It reminds me of a quote: “no one will understand the violence it took for me to be this gentle.”

Hey OP,

I'm a woman and when weather is bad ie) icy, slippery I ask my husband for a ride! His car is heavier than mine and he's a more confident driver. I hate driving in snow, sleet or ice!

Gas light much? How was that not a response. You make an accusation while providing nothing to back it up. You’re called out on it and respond with me having no response? And you call me a troll? 😂😂😂😂😂

Art F Or Spray paint can?

Excellent non-response. Please go troll elsewhere.

Daburyford. Bridgeford, new haveford, Waterford.

Where are you? I’ve mostly seen the weather folks say it should be fine everywhere but maybe issues in hill towns. I don’t think they’ve overhyped that I find people just don’t actually listen to the specifics of what they’re saying. They’re still saying more freezing rain coming before/around sunrise in hills! As I live in a northern hill town I will be telecommuting tomorrow. I don’t f with freezing rain of any amount. A month or so ago 84 out here was a total skating rink death trap for about an hour due to a tiny bit of drizzle that froze. Nope nope nope on the freezing rain.

You want to know how when you state something out of context how it’s inaccurate? Touch a nerve? No. Although I don’t agree with people who twist words and create false constructs, I support their 1st Amendment right to do so.

Did I touch a nerve? Was what I said inaccurate?
