If you can find a rental at that price, the finances are doable but I think it might be difficult to find that (unless you already have it in place). Likely it might be a little tight with a monthly car payment if you choose to go that route until groceries and other staples prices retreat a little bit, but if you’re frugal anyway that’s great.

It depends on many aspects of financial situation…what is mortgage payment, any student loans, car payment, other debt, etc. Would need a lot more details.

I’m genuinely curious why teachers were exempted…was that a union decision or something that came from the legislature when the program was being put together?

If I were to think of an occupation that would most benefit from the program, teachers probably would be in top 3.

Why wouldn’t they qualify for the CT leave program? Instances like this is exactly what it’s for.

Also, does a typical teachers benefits generally include STD or is that something they opt in or out of everywhere like a lot of private sector jobs?

Next time don’t refer to yourself in the third person like a self righteous prick and I’ll know who you’re talking about. Also, ya know, don’t try to start rumors and assorted troll garbage based on race. It’s disgusting.

Show your source that says they’re white then if we’re just trolls. Shouldn’t be difficult if it’s true.

While I agree the student should be named unless they are a minor (would be a real small percentage of college students), do you have a source for your claim that they are white? I didn’t see that stated in the linked article.

This is one of the biggest issues I see with younger adults who are trying to move from renting to owning/mortgage. I hear all the time “well I can afford an $1800 rent payment, so of course I can afford an $1800 mortgage payment.” Principal and interest is only one part of paying for a home.

While that might be true with some people doing very well financially, it’s not necessarily true for most because you have to factor in property taxes, home insurance (way more expensive than renters insurance), and any upkeep or repairs that could occur that you wouldn’t be responsible for as a renter. That $1800 mortgage principal and interest payment is more like 2500-2800 for the complete monthly payment after adding in tax and insurance in CT.

And even though I own a “newer” house (about 22 years old) it’s amazing how often things break or repairs/replacements are needed for expensive appliances. All of that needs to be factored in to the question of “can I afford the home” that many often overlook.

Yes, I want more people to be able to afford/buy a home. But I also want them to be in a financial position to smartly and responsibly do so so they’re put in a stressful or financially dangerous situation down the road.

I’m confused as how people in charge of the state 400 years later are responsible in any way for apologizing for the actions of former state officials that aren’t related to them in any way except job function…or what difference that will make.

We all know the judicial sham of the witch trials in New England and those actions have been widely condemned and looked down upon for a long time. But people today aren’t responsible for actions people made hundreds of years ago. Random people apologizing isn’t justice.

Profit that is distributed to shareholders should come last in the hierarchy of how things are paid for. Especially for fines for bad response, rule breaking etc, that should come from their profits.

And ones that have spouses/immediate family members that work for eversource.

How about also shifting responsibility for eversource to pay for their own advertisements and fines by the state and not pass that directly on to the customer?

Dropkick murphys - until the next time

I can foresee him wanting roughing the passer called on at least 50% of dropbacks.

Definitely keep applying there then, turnover is very high. Maybe go in person to turn in a physical app and speak with hiring manager (if you haven’t done so) because it could be something as simple as the algorithm Indeed uses auto discards your application for reason x.

Far removed from areas I know well, so I’m not sure I can be of much help. I will say to check and see if there is an Aldi warehouse within your area. Have a few friends who work in one and the pay starts somewhere around $21, lots of turnover so they’re constantly hiring, and (at least based on what they say) if you can actually show up to work, not be a complete moron, and not yell at supervisors you can get promoted up to a shift supervisor in about a year. Probably could have a side landscaping hustle as well?

Good luck!

What field/type of work?

I don’t even know if what I said is exactly what’s going on, but that’s just my guess. I had a friend in HS in mid 00s that had the same thing happen to him as you, so maybe the rules were changed.

You would think though that someone who committed a “serious assault” per the article two days before his incident probably shouldn’t be in school for at least a few days.

Yep republicans definitely love the fact that this 16 year old kid with a history of violently assaulting people had a stolen and loaded gun on school property that he couldn’t have owned legally regardless because he’s 5 years under the age to legally purchase a handgun. If youre going to be ridiculous enough to insinuate that all republicans love guns, than at least have a shred of intellectual integrity to include the “legally owned/law abiding” part.

There are just so many better ways you could spend your time than being this purposefully obtuse.

That the kid was caught before something really bad happened, and based on their prior history from literally 3 days ago, was likely to happen? Humans should love that. Not everything has to be a political grandstand.

Thanks for pointing this out so eloquently, I needed a good laugh today. 😆

The only thing I can think is that maybe because the assault mentioned in article took place off school property (not sure where others/if others took place), they basically wipe their hands clean of it even if school admin knows?

What the hell are you talking about?

Article clearly says the gun this kid had was stolen from state of GA during the summer.

I understand you have a narrative you push on here all the time but at least do the minimum and skim the article first.

Good for you that you got something - many people who met the criteria either were denied or are/were in the pending approval status forever or never heard anything back after applying.

I do agree that $91 is a joke.

You might do well with instrumentals where the guitar (or other lead instrument) is essentially playing a vocal part. Try Eric Johnson’s “cliffs of Dover” and Iron Maiden’s “losfer words.”
