I'm not saying its an easy problem. I'm saying the solution of a wealth tax is not going to solve it, at all. Especially when there is a state that prides itself on being a tax haven is within commuting distance. Solutions that won't work in reality are not solutions - a wealth tax is to a...

Wealth taxes are different from income taxes, for a variety of reasons. Conflating the two and switching back and forth is not an effective way to get to the truth. My proposal is to partner with local employers, not tax them more.

Securities are how factories get built, how companies get started. We live in a financialized economy, and thats how things are done. When the vast majority of companies build something new, like a factory, or a store, or whatever, they do so with debt (bonds). Most healthy companies have 1x-2x...

Again: the wealthy would structure their wealth in such a way as to avoid the tax. It would get you almost nothing. Especially because the ultra-rich are the ones that have the most resources to legally avoid the taxes.

A trust fund is just a package for investments. No trust fund is set up over a mattress full of cash. They’re invested in stocks. They’re invested in bonds.

Almost all of the wealth of the wealthy is invested in businesses in some fashion.

Good thing that the wealthy are known for their pliability when it comes to the government taking their wealth. And their unwillingness to pay clever accountants to avoid new taxes. And their oh-so-famous loyalty to the jurisdiction in which their wealth might be confiscated. And, of course, we...

Correct - it was pretty clearly going to be something built there, originally, but honestly a nice little park there isn't bad. I lived on Common St (moved away 4 years ago this month, crazy where the time goes), just up the hill from there, and walking around this area, it looks a lot nicer to...

Exactly. Underwater pipelines are not exactly high tech. MA should pursue it on paper, and then approach NY, explaining that MA would much rather work with NY to get this done and have the opportunity for some jobs in NY to come from it, but if they’re not interested, working with NJ is on the...

Go around them or persuade them.

Or just build the pipelines necessary to connect to the broader natural gas network.

Shift away from an overabundant cheap and reliable source of energy.

Thanks!

I was hoping for just a simple map, sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I'm sure it was shared somewhere, but I'm struggling to find it. Does anyone know where I can find the proposed layout as seen in that instagram video? All the others seem to have no rotaries, and trying to compare a video to an image is a bit of a hassle.

That does not mean building a rail line will turn NH into MA. Its all about marketing: position the CR as a way to make it easier for Republicans to relocate to NH.

Thats pretty much it. In the interest of keeping things tidy, I’d say down to rt 44, but the area around 3a in Kingston is a tight fit.

That makes sense to me. Nothing against Chick-Fil-A, but people need to be able to grab food while they're on trips, and people drive on Sundays.

I’m not talking about traffic after the bridge on rte 6. Rte 3 is quite congested, well away from the canal. Edit: and lets be honest, if rte 3 wasn't overly congested, then they would have their gimmicky 'its okay to drive in the breakdown lane during rush hour' solution. Something should be done?

Does anyone know of any information on any efforts to widen rte 3 south? There's an old thread on it that hasn't been touched in a decade: https://archboston.com/community/threads/route-3-widening.4408/ I thought for sure there would be something connected to the canal bridge project, but...
