Oh Champlin’s… college job for life

TBH I'm not sure gas users are going to make out any better than oil users this winter... I keep my apartment at around 62 and filled up my tank before the cold started... I haven't even gotten to 7/8ths of a tank yet. If I was heating with gas though I probably would be spending $$$ more. My apartment is also in a really old ass building in a historical district, I do what I can to insulate but there isn't a lot to be done to modernize it.

Is Fredericksons in Scituate out? It’s bad if they’re out.

Some tradespeople earn $150/hr. For many it’s ~$50. It really depends on the trade.

I am shaky on CT policy but in RI we have a public utilities commission. It’s a public board of appointed members and they vote to approve an increase in rate request from a utility. They either say no or yes… and the saying here is they always say yes. There’s always a Public hearing, but they always do say yes. They don’t really say well you asked for 10 you really only need 5 to break even, well give you 7. They just give 10. It’s so frustrating.

yeah it's this perfect combo of humid plus mold

This time of year is really hard for me, I am allergic to tree mold and just the rain and leaves and etc, I usually have a hard time. Air always feels 'heavy' if that makes sense.

I’ve really leaned on my local but nothing group too, I usually have something someone can use or repurpose, and vice versa. But yeah, we don’t talk about reduce and reuse anymore… late stage capitalism buy buy buy

We, as a society concentrate way too much on recycle vs reduce and reuse.

yeah, that made me feel something. other candidates (matt brown, Cynthia Mendes) had their kids in their ads... but they are much older and it was much more playful.

for me it's not that she's. not from here, it's that she hasn't made any attempt to actually be a part of her community in Rhode Island. hard to do that when you move here in January and immediately start running for office.
