Because an illegal war that happened twenty years ago is the same as a terrorist attack on our specific city from half as long ago

It’s non-branded running shoes.

You know, like to symbolize a marathon.

Oh well if your anecdote can trump empirical research then I suppose I have no choice but to believe you

The city of Boston gives away most of their taxes to the rest of the state via state income tax. If it weren’t for Boston, the rest of the state would be in much worse shape. Maybe some people should gain a little perspective about the dynamics around our centers of commerce. Oh, and how much more efficiently government dollars get spent in a city versus anywhere else. The rest of the state isn’t pulling their fair share of output.

That’s fine, that’s how we’ve chosen to structure things as a state and as a country, but it also means comments like this are based in ignorance. Boston isn’t suckling at the teat, improving it pays dividends to the rest of the commonwealth.

>MA government has got to be the one of the least efficiently run cesspools in the country.

Massachusetts has just about the best-run, most effective government in the country. Certain parts of our government really suck, like the MBTA. But that’s also a consequence of how we structured our institutions, and how we fund them.

Omg I voted for u

Adjusted for inflation, minimum wage was $9.05 in MA in 1989. Currently it’s $15. I know many things were cheaper, but I’d estimate on net that now’s probably a better time to be making minimum wage. I think the main idea here is that it was easier to make a livable wage in unskilled or blue collar work. Almost nobody makes the minimum wage in America. (Less than 1% of the adult workforce).

I agree, but there’s a free shuttle from Airport.

I can’t believe they didn’t get a longer suspension after a giant state-sponsored doping scandal in their own host city.

The problem is our elected and appointed officials not permitting enough new housing. LEGO moving here is a drop in the bucket. You should always want industry to move in.

It’s not even a joke, the local high school games are more packed. If you go for the atmosphere, pride games are a horrible suggestion

Comments hilarious, this subs gone soft

hahaha OP was totally like “im one of the locals now” before he heard the door unlock

What’s he going to do, get out of the car and beat me up?

- man who flipped off driver

I will continue to flip folks off but I sure hope I don’t get beat up like OP

Oh well, as long as you’ve never heard it.

Also that’s image compression.

This sent me down a rabbit hole. There are in fact many pictures on this sub over the years of Boston’s skyline from Provincetown. My guess is it has to do with light refraction, because I no longer doubt this view does exist.

So what?

Best case to pronounce it as “cahmbridge” I’ve ever seen
