The stories that come out of that town are wild, like the school superintendent who blackmailed a cop.
They have a very nice library though.

If i am in a hurry and only need a bottle of wine at the store for a recipe or something, i think it's kinda silly to be required to sit in line with people who have a week or twos worth of groceries.
I understand the hostility to self-checkout taking jobs but someone would still need to id you and all these stores have help wanted signs right now.

He also opposed a few water projects out west because they were bad for the environment and long term the place would still undergo drought, and that really pissed off everyone west of the Mississippi. In 2022 it seems like he had the right idea, I was at the Hoover dam a few months ago and oh boy...
Reading Cadillac Desert which touches on that as a major issue of his presidency.

So many of these creeps are from out of state too. But they come here and pretend like there's a strong massachusetts nazi movement. They have to operate across like 5 states to even get a group together.
Not to understate how dangerous this is. I just find it crazy how much of the right wing movement in this state is actually people from out of state.
In my town we have like 12 people who show up at every event to yell and scream. A few MA people but also many connecticut license plates in the mix. Why are you bothering us in our state then?! Oh because you have nothing better to do.

Very Cool!
I think the uniform is rad but the top comment in that post is about how it doesn't fit her. Which like, you're probably right, but it seems to be missing the point of the post...
