Yeah the defense industry lobby is strong. And its fortified by obviously people who rely on those jobs.

The change would have to come from a federal level. That is why I liked the idea of the Green New Deal because it would have injected tons of money into building infrastructure, energy, etc. that we need and might've given us an alternative to defense sector jobs.

It will take a massive cultural and economic shift for sure.

I'm actually happy I made the decision to travel to Madrid before the storm 😛

Amazon is destroying our country. Hard stop.

What's harder is catching it high as shit on boomskis

I think it's on us to make sure wars don't continue. Especially our own democratically elected government fighting unjust wars and oppressing people around the world. There is absolutely something we can do about that.

True, but doesn't surprise me in the least with how international the company is. Would be much nicer to spread good things from american companies but oh well.

Thank you!

It’s just socialism with extra steps, that’s why it won’t ever go away. If we stopped funding these companies rn we would become a welfare state. If the gov really wanted to change they would have to do some big investments in some type of new industry (energy?) but even then I’m not sure how many jobs would be there, we have Pratt, EB and Sikorsky basically running the state in jobs.

On the right hand side of this website is the school report cards. Provides demographics, performance, spending/pupil, and every other little bit of data about schools in CT.

The food store is open always, people need to work to keep the people fed.

I bought a house when I was making $18 an hour a few years ago, it was $245k at the time on an acre of land. I worked about 50hrs a week on average and anything over 40 was time and a half. I don't think I could afford the same house even at that price with the increased interest rate.

I worked there when it was SVGL, kinda sad it's not an American company anymore.

I got a puppy in september and I'm glad she got to see snow while she's still young enough to go crazy

It was open as of last summer and is in its usual winter slumber. I haven't been in years but last I heard it's still a blast in the summer.

That's really inappropriate to post here where people are asking about their RX meds for a diagnosed condition. Check yourself and ask why you would bring that disrespect to a very respectful post

Ive seen what these monsters say about Vaporean...

Its the insoluble fiber. Make a tea instead, worked for me. Now if only I could stop it from making my nose run.

Very clear... but bbblanket said they have never heard of....

Worked at EB for years. They are hiring 5,000 because they lost 2000 when they were trying to increase by 3000. Highest turnover rate I have ever seen and the average experience in the yard is now under 5 years.

Oh lol. U worked for PSUP? Yeah understandable that u left. And yes the lifers are rough. And the fact that upper management has no idea what the hell theyre doing.

Out of the entire USA you could visit, Connecticut is your choice??!!

You're going to be severely underwhelmed.

Seriously. There's so many better places to visit if you just have to pick one.

Shoulds don’t really factor in

Insurance companies will incentivize hospitals to do this.

The only bummer is they are based in Wilton. That will limit their future growth within the state just given the restricted housing options in the area. I've already seen billboards in BPT for them looking for more employees, but it's really not a great location to allow them to grow much bigger within the state.
