@cohler The central conclusion is wrong. Some of the input numbers are fine. The error is in the method. The document treats a two-box mixing calculation as if it measured where the added carbon came from, and that calculation doesn't work over long periods.
Massachusetts has now posted 31 MONTHS of year-over-year job losses since 2023 (private jobs, ex-health care)
In contrast, the Great Recession of 2008-2010 saw 25 months of YOY losses
With Governor Healey and the one-party supermajority, YOY jobs losses in
every month of 2024
every month of 2025
every month of 2026, except for June
June was not a turn around as some claimed, July and August both returned to losses
This isn't MA having "a couple bad years"
This is a structual, MA-specific problem
@DonutsBaga This ballot measure was the work of a very few organizations/individuals. SAM Action Inc. gave a total of $3.18 million to the Coalition for a Healthy Massachusetts (who got this question added) Three individual donors gave a combined $600. This is not a broadly supported idea.
@chika_vijay Tupac was a “theater kid”, but he got his break carrying gear and dancing for Digital Underground, he wrote his own lyrics, chose his own direction, and fought his labels constantly. Was the public Tupac persona an act? Most definitely! But you cannot deny his talent.
@SimonMonckton@TheDisproof@AdamGirard1990 Not trolling…I’m genuinely interested in using English correctly…but Newton wrote "three times less than before." Herschel, Locke, Boyle, and Swift all used it. Merriam-Webster's usage dictionary records it as standard. It means 1/100th

@poojeetstreet In India, train related incidents with individuals cause most deaths (not crashes).In 2024, 17,029 people died falling from trains or while crossing railway tracks. Maharashtra ranked first for these deaths (28.9%), which is attributed mainly to overcrowding on suburban networks.
@CryptoNobler A lot of factual errors. The biggest is that the German movie is over a decade old., and there is historical precedence for these kinds of movements. Do your own research kids. Nothing is what it seems on social media.
Maura Healey has been exposed - the winning bidders in $2B Springfield were not the lowest cost and did not meet the requirements of the Request for Proposal (RFP).
NEW fact not yet reported- one person awarded in the contract is hosting fund raisers for Maura’s political action committee (PAC). Maura Corruption, Maura Spending
“The first rule of Massachusetts politics: the insiders win. The proposed $2 BILLION Springfield courthouse is what happens when political insiders make the deals and hard-working taxpayers foot the bill,” said Mike Minogue. “As governor, I’ll fight to stop insider deals and bring transparency and accountability back to the Commonwealth. Massachusetts is working for some, but not all. This $2 billion deal is proof Maura Healey is failing us.”

@catturd2 Suicidal Empathy - The recent phenomena of sycophantically supporting a cultural or political position, even though the position has proven to be destructive to individuals and society.
If you have ever eaten out in Europe, and your waiter disappears for 30+ mins, gets your order completely wrong, or clearly doesn’t want to be there…you appreciate the American tipping system. One secret is that at any restaurant that is mid-level and above, the waitstaff is crushing it because of their untaxed (up to 25k) tips!
Scenario |Annual Pre-Tax|
|----------------|--------------|
|Low end |~$45,000. |
|Mid |~$67,000 |
|High end |~$100,000 |
|Urban top earner|~$120,000+ |
Servers earning a “living wage” in Europe, rarely make more than 30k a year. So anybody complaining that the US tipping system is unfair, is just cheap or uninformed.
HOWEVER…what is criminal about that sign, is that service charges ARE tips, and the house is taking that money out of the hands of the waitstaff. I agree with the OP, I would never eat there.
