AKA Canada Douche. Perhaps you’re not aware that they trap and skin coyotes for their fur to line the hoods of their jackets. There are plenty of other high end high quality jackets at the same or lower price point that should be considered over this company.

so the guy hasn't even started yet and we're already making excuses for why nothing will get fixed?

This is helpful to know! I’ll see if I can find the shuttle schedule! Is it not pleasant because of some of the crossings or something else that makes it unpleasant?

A nice patchwork madras jacket for the spring will make you look spiffy at Easter mass.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money, Superdry makes a decent quality parka. Get one with a faux fur hood and you'll be set.
Otherwise, LL Bean is probably the best quality for your dollar. The coat will last a lifetime.
You will also want a wool peacoat, which you can get anywhere. For when it's too warm for a parka and too cold for much else. Great for late fall as well. And perfect for formal functions, since it's still stylish. You will wear it more often than your standard winter jacket.

Wu basically isn't in the conversation for the MBTA. She can exert influence, but has not jurisdictional power.

I don’t require that everybody like that. Can you conceive that many people do like that. And accept that civilly?

Wu can't do anything, the T control board answers to the governor (which is a whole issue of its own). Baker created the control board to manage the T’s finances, management, and operations to ultimately "fix" the T. This idealism was thrown out of the window in 2021 when he appointed the current board, so we're left with a powerful board that does jack. Healey would need to directly intervene and appoint a new board or even create some form of new governance, which she seems totally uninterested in doing as of now.

I had never heard of this brand outside Boston, but see it everywhere in the city. Looked their raincoats and was shocked at how expensive it all is.

Thank you! My parents lived in Alaska so my mom and I were looking at silk long underwear. Do you have any gloves recommendations?

you're literally the delusional person im talking about... you claim Boston is a walking city but also enjoys going on 4 mile sanity walks. not everyone likes that and selling Boston as a walking city just because you're used to walking 4 miles at a time is just ridiculous.

He's making a reference to The British. Redcoats was a pejorative used during the American Revolution.

Personally I prefer real down filling. Get something waterproof too.

I really like them because you can take the liner out and wear them over a sweater or something for those 37 degree rainy windy days.

Yes, it's absolutely shocking that white people know so much more about other cultures and races. How they're oppressed and misrepresented and assure those cultures and races that they indeed do know better, while having zero to limited exposure to those races and cultures. Of course it's not racism and prejudice of the highest order, the white people just know better. /s
