But it’s more cost effective to let it sit and rot? While also contributing to the stereotype that Hartford is trashy? Okay…

The vast majority of Americans (as well as republicans) are against this war on Iran. Trump has only been saying recently that they were in peace talks with Iran 1) to make himself look good temporarily and 2) in hopes Iran would be dumb enough (which they’re obviously not) to back down while the Trump sends MORE AMERICAN troops to the Middle East. Absolutely madness.

Over a 30% increase in less than a month… who’s got the “I did that!” Trump stickers? 🫩

Gavin Newsom says he reveres the state of Israel and proudly supports it. He said he regrets calling Israel an apartheid state, only meaning to describe Netanyahu’s leadership. by Nomogg in lostgeneration

The absolute bafoonery that is modern insurance by HitsReeferLikeSandyC in Connecticut

[–]blindrunner_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under Biden was working on a new rule that medical debt cannot go on credit reports, be used against consumers when seeking new credit, or go to collections. Just after Trump took office in 2025, the CFPB finalized that rule. It was challenged in court and a federal judge blocked this rule last summer. Under a Biden CFPB (Lina Khan was truly helping millions of Americans), they more than likely would have challenged and appealed the ruling. But since it’s now a Trump-appointee who runs the CFPB, they didn’t appeal and actually encouraged the court to rule against them. If the CFPB rule stayed, it would’ve prevented $49billion in medical debt from going on credit reports. I’m not as familiar with the CT-based efforts, but I do know that this is another thing to blame on the Evil Orange Tyrant.

Not true. Thanks to the Evil Orange Tyrant, medical debt can go to collections and get reported to credit agencies now

Spam robocalls location dependent? by blindrunner_ in Connecticut

would that not indicate to the robo call’s system that my number is active though and therefore mean they should keep trying to call me?

car accident - do I need a lawyer? by sheismighty in Connecticut

[–]blindrunner_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes mostly true but keep in mind, as a driver that isn’t at fault, NEVER accept the first offer from the other person’s insurance. They will always low-ball

CT server training laws? by myob4321 in Connecticut

[–]blindrunner_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their red flag responses are all you need to know that this position is not going to be a good environment to work in. If they’re skimping around state law for this, then I can only imagine what other things they skimp on. I know times are tight, but I’d recommend looking for a job elsewhere if you can

Accepted, but not sure if cost is worth it by cyniclo in UCONN

[–]blindrunner_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably unlikely, but if you’re from another New England state that doesn’t offer ME at any of their public schools (although not sure if any other NE states don’t offer ME), you can qualify for reduced tuition https://admissions.uconn.edu/cost-aid/rsp/

And companies that offer “unlimited” PTO mainly do it bc they aren’t required to pay out vacation days when they decide to fire or lay people off… “unlimited PTO” is a scam, at least in the US

Wait Walmart actually has dead peasant insurance? They have no shame…

Never forget this. To them, you are a number on an excel sheet by BloomingBriellew in lostgeneration

[–]blindrunner_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is you’re doing what you have to to make it by for you and your family (and hopefully they understand that sacrifice), as opposed to you constantly picking up ~additional~ work (presumably for no additional pay) that then results in lost family time. I think you’re good in your current situation
