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

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?

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 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.

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.
