Reply to Find it laughable that RIBCO is resorting to digging up 20+ year old petty charges when at the same time the RI GOP wants to send a guy to Washington who literally killed a guy back in ‘89 by whatsaphoto

Seriously… What is also interesting; But due to lack of civics education: people do not remember or recognize that The United States is, in fact, a Republic.

It’s a FACT.

As is that arguably the best president, Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.

He abolished slavery, amidst much resistance… From the Democratic Party…

They are the worst in New England… And there can’t be any excuses anymore.

Massachusetts our neighbor is amongst the best in the country.

As they are right next door, they have similar population demographics.

So why are we so deficient?!?

And why do we pay more per pupil?

We reportedly also pay teachers more than all but two other states in the country.

(More than MA)

I’m not saying I have an answer.

Or a conclusion.

I’m only pointing out the data facts.

Just food for thought… The government cannot control the reports of UFO’s anymore.

Hence why they now classified them as U.A.P’s (unexplained aerial phenomenon) or whatever they trying to rename what commonly referred to as U.F.O’s. Realize people are not stupid..

They now “dripping” info as it’s obvious… Everyone got cameras in phones now…

I’m sure that wasn’t point you trying to make… But I’ve seen stuff unexplainable, a craft mirroring buildings flying in broad daylight in Florida on the coast and three Blackhawk Helicopters trailing it at max speed.

It’s time for governments to come clean…

There is a flip side to the equation.

Rhode Island is a mess.

Rhode Islanders tend to keep voting in recognizable names because they are familiar.

Typically because they’ve held other positions.

So… therefore they (existing people) are part of the problem.

I’m not bashing McKee at all…

He inherited a mess from years of the same mismanagement that has plagued others before him.

Nor am I advocating for Kalus…

What I AM ADVOCATING for is this:

“Hey… it can’t really get any worse; other than if we keep doing what we’ve been doing.”

Maybe it’s someone who is not beholden to our current political machine set-up that has favors to make good on that can shake things enough to show other entrenched candidates that we are fed up with status quo.

“I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.” -Thomas Jefferson

Doing the same thing over and over is an exercise in futility.

Our schools are absolutely abysmal. Our roads and bridges are frightening. Our systems are failing all taxpayers.

Our retirees have left the state in droves.

Sadly curtailed pension checks supported from our tax dollars are propping up economies of other states.

Because bad policies of politics here have made people flee due to our ridiculous property taxes and cost of living.

We pay highest electricity rates and car insurance rates IN THE COUNTRY!

It’s insidious.

And no reason for us to do so…

Maybe just maybe we all could benefit from a bit of a change…

Everyone should REAllY just take a pause to step back and collect themselves.

Give it 24-48 hours…

None of this is worth it at all…

Look… people are always going to disagree on stuff…

Whether it’s toilet paper roll over or under… Coke or Pepsi… Whether Buddy was good or bad for Providence…

We all have opinions…

And in some cases STRONG opinions…

It doesn’t mean that yours should be censored; nor than the next persons promoted.

The “Media” has changed.

What was once considered the gold standard of what was journalism is sadly on its death bed.

Journalistic Integrity is now a bastion of times of the past.

It’s now all click bait driven and financial model has shifted tremendously.

It’s truly a sad state of affairs…

Bear in mind that where you draw your line in the sand is important to all of those around you…

So be sure and really think about if it’s a hill you want to die on… In most cases… cooler heads prevailing…

98.% of the time NOT!

Just sharing MY opinion…

Reply to Could someone clarify what's going on with the winter electric/gas rates? by kingofallnorway

We all are going to be paying 50% higher electric bills from here going forward.

No matter what your usage or income is…

Even if your income is below poverty level…

However, if your income is below “X” amount, there is a TEMPORARY subsidy available until next Springtime. But it’s a subsidy…

Meaning it’s offset by every other person paying the higher rates that do not qualify for a taxpayer funded subsidy. Bottom line is that all Rhode Islanders that pay utility bills are getting screwed, no matter what your income is…

And that should be important…

Why does RI have the most expensive electricity in the country?!?

Forget about income…

Why is electricity more expensive here?

Pay attention TO THAT.

Let’s change THAT!
