You'd have to just stop voting. Our laws allow companies to buy politicians.

You know what to do, especially if the jaguar is usually parked there. Remember to wear a mask to prevent illness.

The wealthy who live on the shoreline don't want commercial development near them.

People today are smarter than those older generations. We realize that risking our lives in order to get to work exactly on time is unbelievably stupid and pointless.

Management would tell her to leave several hours early and walk to work. With these types of jobs there is zero tolerance for not working exactly as scheduled. If you punch in/out 30 seconds late, you will face consequences, up to termination.

Allowing people to die when they choose will hurt the profits of the medical industry. End of life care is absurdly expensive. For that reason alone, this legislation will go nowhere.

This is common in the retail and food service industry as well. I've seen numerous people fired due to weather causing buses to be late or not running at all, or because roads are blocked by snow or debris. These big corporations don't care if their employees live or die, and the employees they fire can be replaced almost immediately.

Reply to To deal with noncompliant landlords, state rep proposes putting properties in state’s custody until repairs are made by BobbyRobertson
Does having the state take control of the building mean property taxes are automatically taken from the rent collected? Or are taxes still the responsibility of the property owner/corporation?
Or what if the building is too far gone to repair?

New construction is usually 4k sq/ft or larger single family homes on multiple acre lots, or apartments, usually high end apartments. New homes are being built, but they're not starter homes.

It's 2 mags if the guy is following the law. But given his actions, I doubt he's concerned about magazine capacity laws. Many common handguns have 15-19 round magazines, some are higher.

Reply to getting a pistol permit in CT? by Remarkable_Option660
The requirements to apply vary by town because towns add in random requirements to deter applicants even though they're not allowed to. Go to your local PD and get an application, then you'll know what's next. Be patient, law says the application must be approved/denied within 8 weeks, but many towns take much longer, but some process them quite fast.
Study CT gun laws very thoroughly. They are numerous, confusing, and illogical, and it's very easy to accidentally violate one and lose your license and guns forever. Don't ever bring a gun into NY or mass.

East hampton, Portland and Guilford have them too. These stone tunnels/bridges are on all of the old abandoned and currently in use train lines.

You'll need a car. Especially in the eastern side of CT. Payment/insurance/gas/maintenance will be a significant chunk of your monthly budget. I would suggest buying a cheaper used car in cash so you can avoid the monthly payments. Drive the beater for a while, save money towards a better vehicle down the road.

I grew up playing around those abandoned factories. Good times. One building had big piles of bronze ingots behind it. Tried to drag one home on my bike but it was too much weight for my old huffy.

The government has capped the number of legal machine guns, the cheapest is over $10k. They're banned from anyone who isn't rich. Taxing ammo beyond normal sales tax is solely intended to make practice and recreational shooting too expensive for most people.

Permits will never go away. They're used to deter gun ownership. Currently, the 2nd amendment only applies to those who hold a valid license, the state won't give up that power over the citizens.
