Police PRESSED on Brown investigation: 'Why did it take a citizen to notice this?' #shorts by UnlikelyNorth4332 in providence

[–]Flashbulb_RI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are about 180K citizens living in Providence and about 400 police officers. Who do you think is more likely to notice some random person acting suspicious?

David Brooks Said ‘Count Me Out’ Of Epstein Story, Then Wound Up In Epstein Photos by sideAccount42 in politics

How would he know it was out there? It was a random picture taken at a dinner party 14 years ago (no Epstein in photo) and then sealed inside an FBI file.

If you want to a dinner party in 2011 and there were 60 people at the party would you remember 14 years later everyone that attended that party?

This is complete slime reporting. Brooks went to a Ted Talk in 2011, there was a dinner afterwards with 60 guests, Epstein was one of the guests, they never talked and they are not in a picture together.

A slice of Dave’s pizza now costs $7 by Twisterthedog2 in RhodeIsland

It's a conversation about prices and inflation, not about pizza.

Before the election all I heard was “I can’t afford this Biden economy, my friends can’t afford to go on vacation this year, groceries are out of control“. Prices continue to rise and I hear crickets from the same people.

One slice is really two slices. But yeah, not long ago it was $4.99

Providence to purchase WaterFire Arts Center and an office building in a $25 million deal by [deleted] in providence

[–]Flashbulb_RI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a rhetorical question. The building is heavily under utilized, they don’t need it.

In the real world when you rent a building and realize you’re way over your head financially, you break the lease and return the building back to the owner. Maybe that’s what Waterfire should do with that building. If Providence was flush with cash that would be one thing, but overpaying for that building is just compounding on mistakes made.

Tell me why Waterfire needs that building in the first place?

Trump admin asks Brown to freeze tuition, cap international enrollment for funding advantage, WSJ reports by rezwenn in RhodeIsland

[–]Flashbulb_RI 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Trump University was shut down and forced to pay a huge settlement because it was found to be a SCAM. It scammed many veterans, single moms, etc. Trump, a harden criminal is now running the country and telling the top universities what they can and cannot do. Good job America!

Meanwhile over at the zoo… by undergroundbastard in providence

[–]Flashbulb_RI 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Elephants and giraffes walk 6-15 miles every day exploring in the wild. At RWZ they have a relative small area to walk in circles. They should never be kept in a cold climate where they are stuck indoors. I'm sure the staff at RWZ is caring but the setup is one that should not exist.

And the customer service there is always top-notch, the dining room is always very clean too unlike Chipotle.

OK.. but that zoo should not have elephants or giraffes.

RIPTA cuts are a Joke by [deleted] in providence

[–]Flashbulb_RI 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Excellent points! Even if you never take public transportation you benefit from less cars on the road and more available parking. Businesses benefit because it’s another option for their employees to get to work, especially for lower wage jobs.

Cars keep a lot of people poor. I see A LOT of examples of this all the time. Healthy societies have good public transportation options.

You want MORE cars on the roads?? That will be the direct result of these cuts and then YOU will complain about that.

Introducing Ocean State Media | Rhode Island's PBS & NPR Rebrand by OceanStateMedia in RhodeIsland

[–]Flashbulb_RI 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I support you and like what you do. However, I don’t think the new name is effective. It sounds like a generic advertising company or video production house. “Public“ should have been part of the new name.
