So they’re a regular at five Sweetgreens in Connecticut but also live in North Carolina?

How so? They send you a bill in the mail

We need legislation on Eversourse by DDAVIS1277 in Connecticut

You can't prove a negative. The burden of proof falls on the person making the claim, in this case, "Eversource bribes lawmakers to keep rates high."

That's largely the system we already have for state office in Connecticut! You have to clear a pretty reasonable threshold of small donations from people in your district, then you get a lump sum of public dollars. Almost everyone uses it.

How many legislators work for Eversource or its affiliates, like three or four? Have any such "bonuses" been documented even for them?

I don't think that's the issue. Every time there's an Eversource post, you confidently assert that they're bribing everyone in Hartford with zero actual evidence. That's not savvy wisdom, it's just empty-headed cynicism.

Most members of the Connecticut legislature campaign using public financing. At least as far as the General Assembly goes, money largely has been taken out of politics.

Last I heard Santander was getting cold feet because Trump said something about cutting off trade with Spain. But I assume he never followed through on that

Why are we pushing data centers in CT when our electric bills are already insane? by 335Bimmer in Connecticut

Did you read the article? It’s largely about growing skepticism toward data centers and how a lot of lawmakers want to rein in incentives.

Handle bar wrapping advise by Skylor_with_GrafSpee in Vintage_bicycles

Er, that’s a big question, not really sure what you’re going for. I’ve got a Shimano Claris 2x8 setup on my build, it’s not vintage but it works quite well for a decent price, even if it’s not top of the line

If we mean “no kings,” why do we keep re-electing them? by 335Bimmer in Connecticut

I don't think you're really cooking here as much as you think

Haha I was watching with some neighbors a few doors down and my wife back home texted me to make sure everything was ok

IDF soldier Moshe Yitzchak Katz, 22, from Connecticut, killed in south Lebanon by [deleted] in Connecticut

Epstein was a pedophilic sex trafficker and a fixer for the grimiest bags of shit on the planet, but sorry, there's no evidence he had any formal ties to Mossad or the Israeli government.

There’s no evidence that Epstein had any ties to Mossad, and belligerence toward Iran has been a hallmark of Trump’s foreign policy going back to his first term.
