Reply to What is the cheapest way to get ductless mini splits or central air installed? by MormonReformist
I used Eversources financing option and got a loan for less than 1% interest for an energy efficient upgrade. Go to energizect.com and look at what they offer. You can save a lot using that route. I found many contractors there also and got mine installed for 10k last year. 4 headers (3 x 9000 btu and 1x 12000 btu) and 1 condenser at 45000 btus. That's parts and labor. Includes 2 years of annual service as well.

Money can't buy hapiness but it sure can solve a lot of problems!

Ok, what do they need to better reintegrate into society? A home, a shower, a job... But wait, they'd just spend the money from the job on drugs, so we can't do that... And limiting employers ability to ask about criminal history would be soft on crime, and homes with showers would be a handout... I guess it's an impossible problem
The only solution is a for profit private prison system with a monetary incentive to maximize recidivism, it's the only way.
Also anyone that ever does a drug has to go there too

For an 18-24 year old guy, $325/month is probably what you’d be looking at for full coverage. Past 25, that rate can go down to $80-$100.

The guns themselves where not inherently illegal, the modifications are, but also guns without serial numbers "ghostguns" are also not inherently illegal either, https://www.reuters.com/legal/ban-guns-with-serial-numbers-removed-is-unconstitutional-us-judge-2022-10-13/

Would you hire people with criminal record? Would your job,if u have one, hire people with criminal record?

Giving free money is not a solution. Making programs like help re-introduce criminals from prison to society would be more helpful. Give an addict $500 bucks, is going to be spent on drugs. Give an addict help, training, and a solid program for him/her to reintegrate to society is a better option

Worked there for 15 years after a 4 year stint in the Army. I never understood the culture of the company. It was really cool work. I learned many valueable job skills & took advantage of the education & job training benefits and great pay! Climbed the ladder to the top, then off to a 20 year State Job. CT has been very good to this NYC boy.

For the record I am for this pilot.
But I do not agree with the way that it's being administered and I don't think that you can make any conclusions/ establish proof through this type of pilot.
Article said over 100 people applied and 20 of the worst people were selected. That's not how the scientific method works to establish "proof". You just get 20 anecdotes. Without randomization and a matched cohort of individuals with the similar issues, this pilot is useless

Prison is a fixed cost, NOT a nightly rate.
But yes, prisons cost lots of money unless you can get by without building one.

That's so vague it's impossible to tell.
What kind of car. What level of coverage. Your age. Where you live. (No, not asking you to post them)
Those are the big ones that determine your rate. It doesn't sound horrible. Shop some of the online price quote sites and see how you fit there. That will tell you if it's reasonable or not.

I'm old folks, but pay $80/mo.
For $200/mo I would be driving uninsured regardless of age.

The fact that this is so downvoted, shows how completed blinded and delusional this sub is.

That title is irresponsibly misleading.
The first sentence of the second paragraph mentions that the program is privately funded.
