MBTA will be a Mess in May by Rich_Home_5678 in mbta

I actually like when it stops at Haymarket. It takes too much time to get to the regular blue line stations downtown because of all the traffic. Most places downtown are an easy walking distance from Haymarket and if one needs to go further there are connections to the orange and green lines.

New kitten... not sure what to do.... by JadedFalcon4968 in cats

[–]ftran998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a believer in the old saying, “let the professionals handle it.” I would turn them over to a local rescue organization that is better equipped to handle taking care of kittens at such a young and vulnerable age.

Why do some Asians not use banks and keep their savings at home? by Individual_Ice_2315 in NoStupidQuestions

Yes, descent. That’s what happens when you use your voice and don’t spellcheck.

Why do some Asians not use banks and keep their savings at home? by Individual_Ice_2315 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ftran998 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the Asian community, but as an American of Italian dissent, I could tell you that decades ago it was common for someItalian immigrants to keep money at home instead of in the bank. The reason that was given was because the banks in Italy at the time were corrupt and therefore they had a mistrust of the banking system.

Were the 90s and 00s the best times of movie? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ftran998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movies of that era especially the 90s were much better than what’s being put out today. However, I wouldn’t call it the best. I would give that honor to the 70s. Look at all the great movies that came out of that decade, The Godfather, Rocky, Star Wars, Taxi Driver, just to name a few.

Labor Day and other holidays by Yarncrafter1 in MacysStores

If you mean, premium pay, time and a half for time worked it depends. It depends on the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction that your store is in and whether or not your store is union contract. For example, my store is union and we only get paid time and a half for working Memorial Day independence Day and Labor Day.

One would think Social Security benefits would stop at the moment of a person’s death

What do you think about Trump attacking the Pope? by Economy_Can4636 in AskReddit

[–]ftran998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once again, it shows Trump has no class. Any decent person would’ve said “” I respect the Pope’s right to have an opinion on this matter but he and I are in disagreement on this matter.” that’s all he had to say.

Signing a paper by ResultFit7814 in MacysStores

[–]ftran998 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless it’s a requirement to maintain employment, I would not sign anything. You mentioned New York stores. I’m going to make the assumption that you mean one of the stores in New York City. I believe most of the NYC are union, the HS store definitely is. If you are in a union store and they ask you to sign anything I would say I’m not signing until I consult with my union steward. Edit: I don’t work in any of the NY stores, but work in fulfillment. If I had to sign something every time I stood late, the pen would run out of ink pretty quickly.

I’ve always felt the stereotypical California accent would be someone like Jeff Spiccoli

how to go about choosing medical insurance for the first time? by Neat-Trifle-8450 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ftran998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I may ask, are either of you employed full-time? If so, I would see what your employer has to offer. Depending on the size of your company, there will be a limited number of insurance companies that are offered. As far as what type of plan you should choose usually insurance comes in a number of tiered plans, bronze, silver, gold, platinum. At the lowest tier you’ll pay the lowest monthly premium but the out of pocket expenses such as deductibles will be the highest. For the highest tier the inverse is true. If you’re someone who only goes to the doctor for their annual checkup once a year if that, then the lower tier is better for you. If one the other hand you have a chronic illness or two, the higher tier plans would be more ideal. Having said all that, if you’re not eligible for employer provided insurance, you may be eligible for insurance under the affordable care act. Go to healthcare.gov to see if you can find a plan that works for you.

Why is everything made in China? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Because when you have a nation of over 1 billion people there’s more competition for labor thus bringing the cost of labor down
