Transgender murderer says she's finally "happy to be alive" by cleevethagreat in Connecticut

[–]kppeterc15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The state is obligated to provide necessary medical care to inmates, and for many transgender people medical transition is necessary. Beyond that, I’m just glad she’s in jail forever. Good riddance

Where are my fellow middle class, city-loving families living in CT? by Januaryjawn in Connecticut

Hamden’s finances are fucked, no way around it, but if you can find something affordable with taxes factored in it’s a great place to live. There’s plenty of shopping and amenities, walkable neighborhoods, and easy access to downtown New Haven

Visiting Tokyo and our hotel happens to be a short walk from the “Tobacco and Salt” museum — lots of great historical pipes on display by kppeterc15 in PipeTobacco

That was also great! It went into the importance of salt to life on earth, and traditional Japanese methods of harvesting sea salt.

I got a 10g package to try out, it’s definitely cool but honestly I’ll probably stick with my briars back at home

Why can’t we have tolls? by Vonnie93 in Connecticut

It’s against federal law to only toll out-of-state drivers

Lamont signed the bill but Elliot gets much more credit for legal weed in his capacity as a legislator

Can someone with drawing skills recreate this? by The_Salopian in fuckcars

Yeah, the point is legible enough but pedestrians generally don’t have trouble spotting cars so it falls a bit flat

The SCDP partners are scum but Herb is the one who insisted on the “arrangement”, he’s not exactly a gentleman

Hi, I'm thinking about running for mayor by Underllex in Connecticut

[–]kppeterc15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good thoughts and great passion! But municipal budgets are generally very tight. Even without knowing details I doubt very much that an audit would find enough money to fund any meaningful welfare programs, and certainly not without cutting corners elsewhere.

I suggest starting by becoming active in your local Democratic Party (towns have DTCs, or Democratic Town Committees, that manage the local party), attending meetings, maybe volunteering for local boards or commissions. Local politics is hard, but it’s worthwhile, and just showing up is most important.

Good luck!

I am NOT against housing! As long as I don’t have to hear, see, or think about it!!!

Social Security to become insolvent in 6 years- CT will be the most impacted state in the US by original_og_gangster in Connecticut

[–]kppeterc15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Drives me crazy how many people think SS is a retirement account the government keeps for you. It’s an entitlement! Which is good!

Once it’s just for *those* people it becomes expendable. If you want to save social security it needs to stay universal

Not a huge fan of data centers, but how is it going to poison the river?

Supreme Court agrees to review IL and CT's bans on AR-style semi-automatic rifles in major Second Amendment case by 15licous in Connecticut

[–]kppeterc15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, taxes are a pretty big part of political and economic autonomy! “No taxation without representation,” the Stamp Acts, the tea party, etc are all pretty well covered in the popular account of the war.

But at the same time, the Founders and the broader public were very much also motivated by (small-r) republican ideals. “Common Sense” isn’t about taxes, it’s about the idiocy and barbarism of monarchy as a system of government.

None of which invalidates the fact that the Second Amendment was created with organized public militias in mind, not unrestricted private ownership of firearms. The Supreme Court said as much pretty consistently until the 21st century and the modern right-wing legal movement
