So the timing of this article, especially given its author has nothing to do with the timing of this article from yesterday? Gotcha.

What are you talking about?! Newspapers have been using shock or misleading headlines since their inception in order to manipulate/mislead. Additionally, there has been no dearth of material explaining and detailing reasons that rent control would be a bad thing. I would expect that the timing of this article with the timing of Wu publicly pushing back against critics is not coincidental.

>The opinion section of newspapers used to be used to publish a variety of opinions that intelligent readers could compare with their own. I hope you can imagine going backwards in time to a different era and respond as if you lived in that era instead of writing "Nice job Globe. Nothing like telling your readership to go f@#k itself."

So you believe that I am somehow incapable of summarizing not only the position of the author but the position of the Globe who has been a bit more vocal when it comes to positions against rent control. I am somehow devoid of critical thought in your eyes due to my word choice. You hang on to the prejudice. It should serve you well I am sure, not that you would ever know one way or another.

All of the Boomers just retired. The average work situation of even the youngest Boomer is retired. Give it 10 years and you'll see rents plummeting.

Why would the country need to separate? You're presenting a what if scenario over something that is actually happening. We don't need MTG to have us measuring things using a Dunkie's cup, that's ALREADY HAPPENING!

Translation: F#@K YOU!! PAY ME!!!

Nice job Globe. Nothing like telling your readership to go f@#k itself.

Either this storm is winding up to nail us late or it's been severely over-hyped. Roads are fine.

This is the same Healey that refused to prosecute state troopers for massive overtime abuses, aka fraud, right?! Same person?

But she also cheered the burning of cities during the summer riots a few years ago, so I mean, as long as your shit isn't burning down I'm sure you're happy.

I'll hold my breath as I expect her to do jack and shit. She's going to be running for President soon enough and she's going to want support from the Fraternal Brotherhood of Cops or whatever the fuck they call themselves. So yeah...she's not doing shit.

So when do those Bikes go up for auction?! Oh please don't tell me they're gonna just crush them.

Break windshields, score points! Who doesn't love that?

I assume that's the thought process.

That time that even the Herald admitted violent crime was down.

Its as art should be enjoyed, in the dark, with bad lighting.

This would only makes sense if fires were black. Only then could leave it to the police to beat out a fire.

Engineering and hard sciences people, engineering and hard sciences...

...dear god I'm never going to own a home.

"Baron Morgan Von Lemonparty Esquire at your service..."

All of those places are hell on earth save for Six Flags, and it's close depending on time of year, and we already have one. I don't see the attraction for any of those places.

Also, I'm whole heartedly against bulldozing anymore forests in this state for any reason whatsoever. The last sighting of a Canadian Lynx in MA was in Bellingham a little more than 20 years ago. The forest it lived in was bulldozed to put in a Home Depot, Toys R Us, Unos, and a small apartment complex. ...yeah, that was worth it.

This is some Darwin type s##t. Was he rescuing a toddler that got thrown onto the tracks?

Excuse me while I jump into the polar bear paddock.

YOU KNOW IT IS!!! HOW COULD YOU EVEN ASK THAT??!

When all the new college students post "Moving to Boston. What can I expect?" threads this July, this must be the response.

I don't like it when people put words in my mouth. How you even extrapolated that I'll never know, it seems like your primary focus was to assign/find a victim as quickly as possible. Weird.

Let me help you. No the suburban residents aren't the victims. The victims are those bigots in Boston who believe that their actions and words, based off of bad information, is correct simply because they all think it. They're all equally ignorant, they're all equally trapped.

But hey, jumping to conclusions works too. Oh wait, we're right back where we started.

It's called fascism. What you're encountering now is called fascism. It's like a cult only its...well, no, it's pretty much a cult.

Most just react to headlines. The Globe knows this, thus, hit piece.

So you're saying Andrew Brinker of The Boston Globe wrote a hit piece. Imagine going through life as a political puppet...yeesh.

Vocational professions are going to straight clean house over the next couple of decades. Well, the business owners will.

How's that college degree working out? Not calling YOU out specifically, just all the kids who are like "Eeeww, Votech..."

If I need it there when it says it's going to be there, and 20/30/40/50/60 minutes goes by until it shows up...you want to convince me that THAT is reliable transportation?

If a Train is 25 minutes late for an 8PM platform time, that Train didn't show up AT 8, it's late as hell. It DID NOT SHOW WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. At that point I'm looking at alternate modes of transportation because I'm trying not to lose my job.

You can shove that "...spreading lies" s@#t right up your a##. People have LOST THEIR JOBS because they depended on the T to be remotely functional and remotely punctual and those people were WRONG to assume so.
