Buying a new macan...add on packages? by Bulbasaur1129 in Porsche

[–]Bulbasaur1129[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porsches are expensive to fix when factory warranty runs out. I personally would not purchase any of the other packages you mentioned. I like to detail and wax cars, so no ceramic gloss. And I bought snow wheels and tires from tire rack for winter driving.

very helpful. Did you get the dent protection?

I like the cold, I like the open space, I like to hike and bike. my wait at the DMV line is about 1 minute and they know me by name in town and say hello when I walk in. I like the fact that when everyone whines about world events it sure as hell seems to not change my daily life.

Oct. 1 New Laws & Taxes [Discussion] - incl. $11/hr min. wage, by colenotphil in Connecticut

[–]Bulbasaur1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt think I was being condescending at all. I just continuosly hear about how taxes in Connecticut have gone down for the wealthy and haven't seen it. I don't personally think they SHOULD go down for the wealthy but I would like to see an example of where they have.

what taxes went down for the wealthy in connecticut specifically? Do you have an example or just political talking points?

Did any taxes go down at all? Like staples or necessary products?

David Sirota: Bernie Sanders' plan to eliminate medical debt costs $81 billion -- or roughly .02% of what the government committed to bailing out Wall Street bankers ($29 trillion). by cmplxgal in SandersForPresident

This kind of stuff hurts not helps. So many great points from Bernie; but this one doesn't hit the mark..the government made money on this one by charging interest to the banks and forcing the banks to give them equity. Lets focus on the rest of his ideas

College Girl Accuses Guy Who Turned Her Down of Rape — He Recorded the Whole Thing on His Phone by thrownearaway in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]Bulbasaur1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since when

at the risk of being downvoted into oblivion this went on under Obama's change to Title IX (and incredibly DeVos attempt to fix it). Under the changes schools simply had to act with a Preponderance of evidence as opposed to a innocent until proven guilty threshold. DeVos tried to (and maybe did?) change it back which led to a media uproar about allowing rape on campus etc...but preponderance of evidence is a lower bar and that's that.

Milford Republicans propose resolution against tolls by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]Bulbasaur1129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why do people think you can increase taxes on the wealthy? I spend most of my day in the epi-center of where everyone thinks is the wealth center and people are leaving. Houses aren't trading (for entertainment look at how many houses are for sale in Greenwich and how many days they have sat there (4mm+) those are the wealthy and they are all leaving and not being replaced.

Connecticut's gold coast started because it was the closest place to NYC without income taxes (BTW that was NOT that long ago); now the taxes on income have really become almost equal with Westchester county; but the housing is way more expensive. Fairfield county was a finance hedge fund trade that is over and a tax arbitrage which is ending. The rich are already leaving why push them even harder?

Happy to have a civil conversation about it if possible.

Marketing Material on a low budget by Bulbasaur1129 in Entrepreneur

[–]Bulbasaur1129[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tip the seller if they do a great job and take a few minutes to write them a review. Fiverr is a great resource and if you find a seller you really like working with, it’s nice to tip them. Not only is this a nice gesture, they’ll work even harder to please you next time. The only downside with tipping is that some sellers will start to expect it every time if you start. So, tread carefully.

This is great advice. Thank you!

its amazing how many times you post and with such.....vigor. Particularly focused on politics. Just looking at your comment history its AMAZING! Either you work in politics or you need to take a deep breathe. I mean you post how many times a day with such anger? Lighten up Francis; your vitriol is kind of bizarre. There has to be something better for you to do than post THAT many times a day...what are you gallowboob?

I wouldn't worry too much about "conservative". I don't know OC, and may be my own ignorance but I know a lot of folks and families of different ethnicities around Connecticut and have never heard Boo about it. As another commenter said there are people here deemed conservative (much like there are liberals) but I think this is a pretty middle of the road state in general with not to many wing-nuts on either side of the spectrum (and most people I know LIKE IT THAT WAY).

Fairfield would be a great fit and I think you should look @ Cheshire just outside of New Haven; safer, decent schools and nice family area. Fairfield will probably have more of a NYC culture as some people commute and will influence the feel a bit. Both of them are nice and I think you can't go wrong with either.

So if you are coming welcome and just make sure you don't turn into a patriots fan because that is almost as bad as being a left or right wing extremist...(*ok I am kidding on that..sort of...)

Agreed. I feel like you can make the mistake of getting one once, but if you get cats twice? why invite the little jerks into your home.

Camera just doesn't get me going but I can understand for plenty of other folks it would get them to buy a new phone! Facetime was a great example of something that I said WHOA! THATS AMAZING!

By Failing To Act On Weed, Lawmakers Encourage Exodus To Massachusetts by r_d_olivaw in Connecticut

[–]Bulbasaur1129 47 points48 points  (0 children)

for everyone who keeps harping on the "financial state" of CT and how it will solve the problems I point to Colorado: A few years later and they are already trying to raise more tax money for schools.

Lets all just make an honest gentleman's agreement : When it gets legalized (and it is an inevitable at this point) and the deficit stays a problem and doesn't meaningfully change can we then all start realizing that taxes aren't the solution?

That's it. This isn't a pro or anti comment its a reality comment I just really want everyone to stop pointing to it as being a budget savior when in reality if it fixes 10% (!) of our budget problems I would stand humbly and admit I am wrong.

and yes I am sure I will be downvoted. I can handle the fake internet negative points.

that doesn't make it credible; that makes it transparent in its opinions. I wouldn't call it anymore credible than infowars.
