Do not worry citizens, the RMV will just wait until the media attention dies down, and collect the fees from the next "visitor" that stays over 30 days in the state of MA.

It isn't the union's job to do what is right.
It is the union's job to advocate for the rights of the members of the union. This leads unions to take some unpopular stances, but a lot of rights were unpopular at the time the union(s) advocated for them.

All we need to do is pour another billion or two into the system, and it will be fixed.

Things that are for your house - annoying/difficult to replace things that you need. - You shouldn't shop by price, you should shop by does this product do what you want, and how long do you expect the product to work.
A lot of things aren't a Go Pro - just throw it out and no problem.
Now hot water heater, no hot shower, it does effect your quality of life significantly even if it is for a day or 2 that it doesn't work.
Lots of things are made cheaply now - Washers/Driers/Refrigerators/Dish washers - none really effect your life as much as no hot water.

The price something is worth is determined by having someone or someone(s) willing to pay that amount asked for it. So it is worth 10 million dollars, because we the people were stupid enough to pay for it.
Would I purchase it again, no. It looks like someone holding a turd from specific angles.
Remember, Boston is the place that purchased toilets that: 1) no one used, 2) broke all the time, 3) were expensive to install, 4) expensive to maintain, 5) so expensive that we decided to stop repairing them, and 6) took the place of something else that could have been there, like nothing, an empty space.
Also these toilets were supposed to be automatic cleaning toilets, and took jobs away from the people of Boston. - As far as I know the toilets were never clean, and a toilet of last resort. - Also you had to have special tokens/money to use the toilet.

Perhaps the building code for residential/commercial/industrial - should be modified or at least looked at.

If you ever want to get rid of the rats - Dutch underground trash collection system - It is almost never full or over flowing, keeps out the rats, and if they get in, keeps in the rats - until collection day.

It isn't reduced service, this is the new permanent level of service.

Aren't we still dumping raw sewage into Boston harbor every time we get more than X number of inches of rain?
