There is possibility of such approval ,many places are considering either the abolition of DLST or turning ahead forever,not a total long shot by Congress

Let's just all agree, right here and now, to never adjust our clocks again.

Wish there was an x axis showing time. Looks as bad as 2022 was so far.

MA cannot stay in DST without an act of congress but we can elect to stay in standard time without federal approval.

MA and north of here in the US should really be in Atlantic time year round (GMT - 4) but for some reason we aligned with the rest of the eastern seaboard and it looks like we will be stuck this way forever.

There is a low probability the house pick up the vote on this one even though the senate unanimously past the vote.

Agreed

I don't know

Their IPA is decent. And the stout. If you’re sensitive to beer quality, stay far away from True West.

As someone who is a trades union member, I can tell you hvac, electrician and plumber are always in demand. Hvac especially lately. Most are a four year paid working apprenticeship. Union halls will guide you to what you need to get in. Local 12 plumbers are advertising on tv, so they must be really hurting for members

And please let’s not turn it back this fall

It's soooo expensive though. Makes me crazy. So many items are literally 2/3 times as expensive as MB.

I mean, I agree it's a massive issue, but I don't really understand how you are coming to the conclusion that building more housing is a bad thing in this context.

Not building more housing just makes the huge problem even worse. Waiting 25 years until the Baby Boom generation dies off while not building any housing right now isn't really a "solution."

Obviously developers build to make money. Building more housing is still preferable to not building more housing when there is a severe housing supply/demand mismatch.

Wasn’t there already a vote to stop this?

I think I’m going to do this. I’ve also thought about calling local papers to see if anyone is covering it.

Custodial union is decent at BU, Harvard, and MIT. Pays almost $30 an hour which is more than USPS.

BU is desperately hiring right now.

According to housing bubble doomers, the high mortgage rates were going to tank the housing market. A massive recession was going to cause everyone to be laid off and there would be a flood of inventory. Turns out supply was destroyed more quickly than demand, and there's a lot of robust earners in this state that can still comfortably purchase homes despite current rates.

There isn’t. Market basket is substantially better stocked, cleaner, and cheaper than any other grocery store in western MA. Stop and shop, big y, are not even comparable in price to market basket.

Absolutely. We were always headed for an issue with a housing shortage in the region. But artificially suppressed interest rates caused by the Fed gobbling up Mortgage Backed Securities, and the pandemic changing how people viewed/valued homes caused it to happen over the span of 2 years rather than a decade.

There is one in Carver. They built new roads and intersections in land that was formerly woods. Nearby homeowners in two towns were threatened with imminent domain if they didn't sell. It just sits there empty.

Hope their cocktails are better than their rather pedestrian beer.

But I still like the idea

I agree from a purely business perspective it’s not so much shady as it is ill advised and gluttonous. I look at it more from a public good perspective in that this happens and has happened everywhere all the time forever. Companies promise jobs and investment but local governments fail to negotiate firm commitments and these benefits don’t materialize, leaving the communities with less resources, less competition, and the lost opportunity of these locations being used productively.

Why?

Honest question. What's the benefit in today's world?
