I'm sorry the Globe isn't using all its resources to validate your vague conspiracy theories

You're not supposed to deep throat the boot

It's pretty odd that "human trafficking" is what jumps first to people's minds. As if trafficking is the most likely reason a creep or criminal would accost an unknown woman in public.

When you hear hoofbeats, it's more likely horses, not zebras.

This weirdo could any of many unsavory motives, but human trafficking is not anywhere near the top of the list. That's not how trafficking happens

Thanks for sharing this! Didn't know about it, just installed.

The shit alleged in the Whitehead/Sabatini report is insidious in academia and biotech. Academia and biotech are the primary driving force of the economy in the Boston metro area. Far more people in the Boston metro area are impacted by this type of sexual harassment on a day-to-day basis than anything else you cited. Also, it isn’t a zero sum game. Newspapers can write about many things. Other papers will write about national issues. Only local papers are going to did into local stories of corruption (and yes, long running, systematic sexual harassment is a form of corruption).

You know, your 60,000 comment had me curious, and the first hit on Google seems the likely source for your claim.

Ironically enough, the very next paragraph goes on to describe how your stranger danger panic is entirely misguided:

>...the reality is that nearly 60,000 people are trafficked into the country every year, and the majority of those are females, trafficked for sexual exploitation.

>Another common misconception is that human traffickers are kidnappers who drive large vans and swipe unassuming people from back alleys. Again, the reality, sadly, is far worse. Human traffickers operate in public, and will use all sorts of tools and tactics at their disposal to get what they want. These efforts often come in the form of psychological manipulation.

I would simply not spread bullshit about the problem of human trafficking if it were something I actually cared about, but I suppose that's a matter of personal judgement. You're not doing anyone any favors getting all worked up about make-believe instead of the real thing.

That site has some useful info, might do you some good to come out of the extended Taken fictional universe and deal with reality going forward

>Human traffickers use any tool available to them to connect with potential victims. Contrary to popular belief, these predators rarely kidnap victims, but rather employ psychological manipulation to get what they want. The following are some of the signs of grooming for human trafficking employed by traffickers.

(Not a broker myself nor a landlord, just an economist) The broker fee actually lowers the total cost of renting for those who stay in a place a while. A landlord covering the brokers fee, has to add it to the rent, and you pay it to the landlord every year. If it's not included in the rent, you only pay it when you move. So you may pay $1200 up front but starting year two you save that $100 a month every month going forward. If you stay in one place 4 years, that broker fee saved you close to $4k.

I had an economics class where we studied that people will pay more for an item if it has free shipping, even if the item+shipping is cheaper elsewhere. Kind of the same principle with brokers fees.

I said "your mind" was emotional. So you're wrong there. It reads like a lifetime movie. My point is the value of the Spotlight team vs. the story overall. It's like using a blow torch to toast your bread, a chainsaw to cut the butter and a fork lift to carry the plate to the table. The spotlight team could be used to more difficult investigating tasks. I wasn't clear enough earlier, my apologies.

this didn't happen. i was at the 2020 protests, nobody was shot

That’s not what a logical fallacy is lol. Man, that term gets thrown around a lot.

Why wouldn’t you be fully jealous?

Buddy, you compared sexual harassment to a lifetime movie, and just called a woman emotional and reactionary. If you can't see how that's wrong, I don't know what to say...

I said it was important Kara. You do not lend value to your argument to call someone a "woman hater". I am pleased to see the increasing focus on the poor treatment of women by predator men being addressed and I have seen the data to support the fact that every time a society increases the protection freedom and education for women the overall society improves, without exception that the fact. A better world is made with more women being empowered to contribute and assume leadership. But minds like yours are another matter, your mind is emotional and reactionary, and that flaw has nothing to do with what's between your legs. I realize more than you assume.

My dude, which PR firm do you work for?

Parking garage by AMC at Assembly Row. Free for a couple hours. Gorgeous view.

melrose. rent in melrose. nice town. easy orange line access

He man woman haters club. You do realize this type of stuff happens to women on the daily and it's way more common than anything you just mentioned, right? Women in the country can't walk down the street and buy a cup of coffee no matter try and advance their career. If you can't understand why that story is important YOU are the problem.

Cool, you got any recent statistics on that?

They have a blog where they report on their doings. What evidence of uselessness do you have to counter with?

I have, and it doesn’t look like OP’s story

Especially because it is extremely easy to take the WR Parkway to Jway right into Boston after 5PM from Rozzi, W Rox and certain areas of HP.

I will say though, Dorchester is much more urban than WR,Rozzi and HP IMO.
