Reply to Any good Gym recs??? by BrokenBlossom77

I don't know how it compares to Planet Fitness, but the YMCA in Central Square is reasonably priced and has a good amount of free weights and a power lifting room, if that's your thing.

Reply to Should there be a ballot initiative about repealing Section 9A(a) of a law banning public employees from striking? by 96suluman

No, almost everyone should have the right to strike

(edit) and labor rights should not be at the whim of popular opinion

Reply to What would you say is the ideal age to read The Phantom Tollbooth? by Chickens1

I would strongly recommend giving him the illustrated paper book with Jules Feiffer's drawings. I think with an audio book you're missing half the fun of the Phantom Tollbooth, especially as a kid who won't understand some of what's going on.

Reply to Insurance background by kumquatrodeo

I believe it's a historical artifact. MA used to have stricter regs than other states on what insurance companies could charge and some of the larger companies in the past (like GEICO) didn't want to submit. I don't know what changed, but more national companies are now offering policies.

The non-binding questions varies from district to district. The group Act on Mass tried to get #6 on as many ballots as possible to show the hidebound and opaque legislature that their constituents want to know how their own legislators voted in committee. It is a no-brainer.
