I would like to delete a lot and condense a lot. Then DEEP audits of spending. Especially on contractors that seem to empathize with ripping off the government.

Should be a 90% inheritance tax over a million.

Gotta keep up with the storm. Multiple trips out makes the work easier!

Yup. I even always try to do that "special hack" of snowblowing the snowbank about 100 yards before my driveway to keep the driveway from getting plowed in, but it never works.

It was different in different parts of the state. Heavy junky stuff in York County where there were intermittent periods of rain to weigh it down. I guess it was fluffier the further north it got.

Well it wasn't for nothing. If you hadn't done it at all, it would have been that much harder to do it all in addition to the inevitable chunks of ice that always come at the end regardless.

Where I live the snow was light, fluffy and clung together well. Made shoveling go by fast.

Yep. Snowblower is key. My driveway would take me a few hours to shovel, and that’s valuable skiing time!
Plus a decent Ariens blower is like $1200 and lasts 10+ years; cheaper than a plow guy (plus no lawn damage), and cheaper than your hospital/chiropractor/specialist visit from blowing your back out on the plow line.

Talk to the dense slush pack that slid off the roof... And the horrible compacted banks the plow left in the driveway...

The rich people now are definitely stupid and uninformed. Its called generational wealth and very few rich people actually got rich by their own merit.

Rich people, mostly, didn't get rich by being stupid and uninformed. They see the writing on the wall, the car crash you can't look away from. They see the collapse coming soon, they're extracting as much as they can from the plebs and "going home".

I’d rather shovel 4 inches three times than 12 inches once.

This right here. I was so pissed this morning after the snow plow decided at 3 am to widen the road a little more and blocked up my driveway with chunks of ice. All that work for nothing.

I am totally with you on this. I snowblowed around noon-thirty and didn't have to again. Unfortunately my neighbors with northeast facing driveways did not have the same luxury. Yesterday afternoon while it was still coming down I noticed a little sun trying to break through the clouds and my driveway just melted like crazy. They were like, wait, you never went back out, how is it shoveled?

Hopefully he’ll tell all his new Maine neighbors how much better things are in Mass and run for selectman and try to change everything.
