Village pizza in Easthampton takes it for me.

I think there should be a movie where Ben’s character has just come back to his home town because dad died and he has to work behind the counter at a local Dunkin’ (probably Gloucester location) to make ends meet for the funeral. Casey is his character from SNL and they are brothers trying to mend a life time of problems as they bury their father.

Those are some bad ideas you have. I would suggest discounted licensing fees for practitioners who serve rural communities, even part time. Or maybe limit the number of licenses given per county, but that seems unlikely.

There are a lot of disparities that people who live in an urban area have probably never considered. Like access to healthcare and other professional services. The state licensing boards could do a lot to incentivize professionals to provide services to rural communities instead of expecting residents of rural communities to be able to dedicate a day to travel to a population center. Or how about departments of public health which are administered on a local level. Meaning that many municipalities in MA have 1 nurse running the whole public health department. This was a huge issue during COVID and hasn’t really be resolved.

If you are going under 100 move over.
