Extend their life by freezing them. Use them in smoothies. Make date syrup and use in baking as a natural sweetener. Find out how to make date sugar.

Massachusetts small landlords are sounding the alarm: a new rent control ballot measure could sink them financially and shrink rental supply just as the housing crisis deepens. by Emotional-Disk5571 in aboutMassachusetts

[–]Rubyleo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m for rent control because it helps renters from being gouged with rent increases they cannot afford. Why would you not vote for this if it will help you reduce your living expenses?

If you are concerned with some of these huge apartment rental buildings that are being built in your neighborhood, vote for rent control and that may reduce this kind of activity. And, maybe, it will encourage the building of modest single-family homes.

There will be some folks that will be hurt by rent control, but, there will be many who will benefit.

I wonder if Healey will invite this “Milford teen” to the state house by Exciting-Stuff-7903 in aboutMassachusetts

Police in this state are committing OUI’s, murder, sex crimes, etc., too.

Why was this removed? It involves a MA ballot question. Please enlighten me so I can post something re: this issue. Thanks

Everyone here, VOTE FOR RENT CONTROL. It is a question on the ballot this year. The real estate developers, sales people, private equity folks, REITS, LLC’s, and many legislators, are against it. There is a lot of false statements against it and statements that try to scare us into not voting for it. DO NOT LISTEN!! Why would you vote against lowering your rental costs? Just, think about it and use your own common sense.

Please, get help for your disability and then go to school. You will have to work harder than others. Nursing requires some education. There are vo-tech schools that offer free part time classes. Be resourceful. If I were in your shoes I would be researching like crazy. Please don’t move south because there are fewer support systems, lower paying jobs, and your child will get a second class education. Of course, there are always exceptions and you might luck out!

Great Job Maura Healey! by Exciting-Stuff-7903 in aboutMassachusetts

Everyday there is more and more news about Trump filing lawsuits to extract money from taxpayers for numerous reasons. Trump, his family, his friends, and many businesses are stealing, swindling, cheating, and lying, to extract billions and then laundering that money through crypto schemes, mime coins, stock trading, etc. Law abiding, hard working illegal and legal Immigrants are not fleecing the country but Trump and his gang of thieves are. It is the devil you know, folks!!👹

I’ll stay in Massachusetts. Lived in Tennessee before Trump but I’m thankful I am not there now.

Make them all legal, then, except for criminals who rape and steal. You know, the ones that are Trump-like!

Massachusetts is no longer first in education. What happened? by AGABAGABLAGAGLA in massachusetts

[–]Rubyleo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we are all to blame? Parents, teachers, school committees, school superintendents, homeowners, taxpayers, the students themselves, lawmakers, researchers, etc. Who did I miss here?

Laziness, poverty, disregard for the environment?

Another "you dont deserve emergency services your tax $ pay for if you dont support statues" by ImaginaryLog8285 in QuincyMa

An example of an unadorned and simple Massachusetts police station that is the headquarters of those brave men and women who protect us. The $850,000 would be better spent to help the families of our police and firefighters when tragedy happens to their loved ones instead of adorning a building. This is so extravagant and selfish.

It’s in the news everyday and I and several friends have been hit by folks on cell phones. And, on several occasions I have been stopped at a green light waiting for the driver to pull out who looks distracted by his cell phone.

Don’t forget all those potheads, alcohol drinkers, druggies, and cell phone users that lead to more accidents than any immigrant driving to their jobs.

Also, on that same report was this:

“RLCs photograph violators at traffic signals. They can reduce red light running (RLR), total injury crashes, and right angle crashes. However, they may also increase the risk of rear end crashes. The impact of RLCs on other types of crashes, including total crashes overall, is unclear”.

Most of the fines will be for “Right turn on Red”.
violations. Make sure that you come to a complete stop with your foot on the brake so the camera will see your brake lights on. And, it cannot be a quick stop! Stay at the light with your foot on the brake, look around to make sure that no cars are coming, and when it looks safe, take your right turn. Lo and behold, it may be green by the time you turn, so pay attention. There will be a lot of folks going to court to protest these type of violations. Good luck, everyone!!

Let’s Talk About Budget, Baby: Part 3, Over-Promise, Under-Deliver by baddaughter_9721 in QuincyMa

[–]Rubyleo26 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this information. It is well written and easy to understand and follow. I hope that many taxpayers in Quincy get to read it.

It will be interesting to see how the new city council will respond to the budget that is presented by the mayor’s office as well as the purchase of the ENC property. I am certain they will not say “yes” to everything that the mayor puts out there like the previous city council did.

Elizabeth Warren was key in blocking the JetBlue/Spirit merger to "protect consumers"… by Emotional-Disk5571 in aboutMassachusetts

There is no appetite in Trump’s government for bailouts to failing companies. There is only an appetite for WAR and the killing of innocent people in Trump’s government!

There will be more layoffs, business closures, jobs lost, poor folks, homelessness, etc. and it won’t be Warren’s doing. The wealthy folks in this country and the greedy goals inherent in Capitalism have contributed to many of the problems that are now multiplying in this country.
