Great suggestions all, would add non-alcohol events and organizations. Music Worcester. Worcester Art Museum. Volunteer possibilities. Join a chorus. Take sailing lessons at Regatta Point Community Sailing

Cars usually come with all season tires, so you are probably fine. However, sports cars may have summer tires which you definitely don't want, and RWD which you may be able to live with.

All season tires and front wheel drive are sufficient unless you live on a steep road on one of Worcester's hills. I prefer AWD myself

That's a good question. Unanswerable, since the man is dead. Whan should an ideal me-too perp do? What should society ideally do to them, for punishment or retribution? (I believe justice does not endorse revenge as a proper role of punishment, perhaps since revenge leads to cycles of violence.)
I think the first question is interesting, about what place EK would find himself now. If he got to a place in his life where he stopped pawing at waitresses that's one thing, but what else would he need to do? Go back and apologize to each of them? Teach others to be better? Apologize on TV? Confess?
Or is this conversation about escaping justice for Chappaquiddick? (Which I don't think is me-too, since it is more like manslaughter). I can't think of a good comparison case where the police declined to indict, but the accused somehow gets punished anyway. I haven't really heard of anyone punishing themselves. Isn't punishment something society must do?

You can debate whether this person should have been given those second chances, but the fact is, society benefits from mercy; society suffers when the redeemable are discarded

I know. He fucked up in a lot of different ways. I am not defending that or the fact that he did not face justice. He could have remain stuck in that selfish, antisocial, addicted pattern, but eventually he improved and did good with his life

He was from a powerful family, who got him out of trouble, etc. Few people have that. But the inner path is open to those who seek it

He didn't give up on himself. I told my young children this story because I wanted them to know there are second chances in life, even if you make mistakes along the way. We are all redeemable

Made mistakes, but he settled down, cut back on the booze and women, got a good wife, and ultimately he did good things with the life he was given

But I have to admit I have no idea what a rebate would look like with Q1 in place. Would the high earners get a higher rebate? Seems only fair they should. So I don't know

Yes, only inverted socialism, where the ordinary earners pay 10% = 5% state and 5% local while high earners currently pay 5%= 5% state and just a small percent local.
Clarify: we currently have inverted socialism.. High earners pay less. Q1 evens it up a bit

Yes, if One had passed five years ago, the surplus would have been bigger and the upcoming tax refunds ordinary taxpayers are receiving soon would be bigger

Question One opponents say Massachusetts already has enough money, and point to the surplus funds that are being rebated to tax payers.
But Question One is about fairness, not about the amount of money that is raised. It is about ensuring that the most wealthy pay the same overall rate as the rest of us. Including property taxes, the most wealthy are taxed at a lower percentage of their income. This is because a wealthy person's property tax is a smaller part of their income than an ordinary person's
