100%. Courts have ruled in favor of police departments turning down applicants for placing too high on intelligence tests. They aren't looking for Columbo, they're looking for moronic psychos who will do whatever they're told. Add to that the direction of policing towards more military style units, strong turn from "here to help" to "here to fuck up your life"... what kind of asshole would want to be a cop now anyways?
They're all bad.

Reply to comment by three-ple in They’ve Been Warned: Attorney General Says Suburbs ‘Must Comply’ With Transit-Oriented Housing Law by psychothumbs
I disagree with law affecting other towns and not simply land within a short walk of a T Station. The AG may simply be doing her job. I have a problem with the law itself extending too far beyond the practical side of how best to create denser housing that has great options of mass transit. Forcing holden to build hundreds or thousands of units puts those people on the highways and not the MBTA.

I was surprised that this wasn't mentioned in the article since they mentioned specifically returning the firearms that were illegally converted.
Is he able to continue his gun shop? Because that license should absolutely be on the chopping block. There's plenty of folks that can run one without the direct history of illegality.

He’s a convicted felon now. Isn’t it illegal for him to possess a firearm?

Cool! Check out the Pioneer Valley and the towns and cities along the Connecticut River. Beautiful, laid back, relatively affordable, and progressive.

Unfortunately probably sooner. If you get sentenced federally for a year or less you serve the full time. Anything beyond a year, you can get “discounts.” So for good behavior, 54 days will be wiped off your sentence so it’s really like 10 months. Not sure if there’s any other discounts you can get but

I would see if you can get a consult with an orthopedic specialist. Ask your primary for a referral, your insurance should cover it. You may need a bunionectomy. A medical condition that may be covered as you may need to be in the hospital for a day.
Orthopedic shoes made to accommodate bunions can be very expensive. Plus, they are ugly.

Reply to State legal aid agency seeks more oversight when DCF removes children from homes without court order—I had no idea, DCF doesn't really ever need to get a court order to remove children from homes by dazzlingupstairz
The keep "families" together at any cost attitude is the main reason why we'll never be able to eradicate career poverty.

Housing is more costly of course and taxes are a bit more.
Philadelphia whipped crème cheese for 8oz here In Chicopee /Springfield is 5.59 The same thing in Marietta GA (which is a similar size city to Springfield is 4.79. I priced a few tools at Home Depot and they were the same price.
The food cost difference is similar at fast food and restaurants as well. So it can add up but it’s not bank breaking considering the pay increase.
minimum wage in GA is still 7.25$ when we moved my wife who works in the medical field got a serious pay increase for doing the same job. We have not noticed the increase in cost of living due to that. We have always been careful with how we spend our money . Kids are expensive as hell so we have had to manage money well to raise ours.
You can google stop and shop and put in our area code (01013) and price compare to whatever store you shop at at home and see how much difference you grocery bill will be every week. That will help you have an idea of the increase in food cost .

I thought correctly lmao this is so blatantly unfair and not right that they can just decide who to throw the fucking book at and who they decide to be lenient with. There should be some oversight or something. Crazy idea off the top....could they do the trial without letting the judge and jury know what the person looks like and does for a living and just judge the situation ?

There's a guy on YouTube who goes around I think NYC busting people that intentionally obscure/remove/fake their plate. Sometimes it's as easy as sticking a leaf over one number and the license plate scanners are "fooled".
