They can’t get enough volunteers. Look I’m not trying to discredit Jamestown, but this problem will become bigger as long as the housing crisis continues. I’m quoting a recent article, not just pulling this out of my ass. It’s going to grow larger, and I don’t think any young people will be able to live on aquineck island in 10 years time.

Jamestown can’t even staff a full fire department due to how limited the housing there is. They can’t get enough young folks to work there because the rent is too high and the pay off is too low. Eventually you’ll see these areas suffering.

That really sucks. For what it’s worth, you can sign up for a plan for as low as 15 cents a month depending on your income. I feel like that price point is for people who can’t afford and don’t really need healthcare (like you don’t have chronic illlnessses or medications). Regardless, we’re forced to get health insurance.

I live in Newport. Tell me about it. A lot of “fiscal” republicans or covert republicans. There’s gotta be a point that you realize the party won’t preserve your wealth.

Edit

And I believe that your voice at state levels reaches the federal. I don’t believe in voting d federally and r locally. That’s prob why ri is such a corrupt and messed up “democratic” state, most people here are not democrat and are from Ny or NJ avoiding taxes or some bs.

I believe that it’s a bad means to and end to force irresponsible people to birth. Do you really want people suffering like that? They themselves don’t. Let them have sex. We don’t need more orphans or baby drug addictions.

Btw I’m done talking to you. Go try to convert a homeless person or someone from your church to vote for R. Any reasonable person won’t.

I agree. The choices are limited, but we shouldn’t give into the “I dunno” pressure. Republicans have a bad agenda. And if we let that come into Rhode Island, which is already pretty bad for a ‘liberal’ state, it will get exponentially worse.

At this point reproductive rights are on the chopping block along with body autonomy DUE TO REPUBLICANS. let me reiterate, REPUBLICANS ARE TAKING AWAY BASIC HUMAN BODY AUTONOMY RIGHTS. it’s disgusting through and through. Who knows what’s next.
