Those are valid negotiation strategies, and they can protect you from walking into bad deals. But in the meantime, the other buyers are offering above asking price, waiving inspections, or they're corporate landlords/flippers making all-cash offers.

The sellers will still go after the easy money. So playing hardball and walking is fine, but you're still basically waiting for an irrational market to calm TF down.

Always know your target and what is beyond your target.

Never point a gun at anyone you don't intend to kill.

This Texas?

Nice, thank you!

Then you're already doing better than half of Southington. XD

I usually look up the sample ballot by the end of October and spend an afternoon figuring out how I want to vote on everything. The real ballots rarely (but can) change by election time. The library question did have me dig deeper than normal, but the town charter and CT laws are all available online. And I guess if all else fails, you could always ask reddit (and deal with all that entails lol).

The Republicans who want more control over the library wanted it to be confusing so they can override your critical thinking and vote their way. They love those lawn signs because they remove all nuance from the equation. "The library told me to vote yes? Good enough for me!" But if you research the town charter and state statutes, and you consider what the question asks you to change from the status quo, a reasonable voter probably doesn't come to the conclusion they want.

No matter how you voted on the question, this is a good experience and a valuable lesson. You went out and voted, that's good. Now you have to become an informed voter.

I haven't been able to find the other ballot measure outcomes. My brother told me Question 4 did pass but I haven't found proof. As this sub discussed, voting "yes" was a bad idea.

Given Southington's political compass this isn't that surprising, but Poulos worked hard on his campaign and it's good to see it paid off. Also glad I convinced my family to vote this year.

Now if only we didn't delegate library power away from the library...

EDIT: It's a figure of speech guys, relax.

This is a Fox News article masquerading as a Yahoo article.

This is the least helpful bot I've seen in a long time. A total waste of space.

Nominally I agreed with most of his points, except this:

> if the NY Times is to be believed, want to be physicians without having to do well in Organic Chemistry, getting their professor essentially fired for being "too hard."

That's a highly reductionist view of the story and doesn't have anything to do with politics, nor the features and characteristics of successive generations of people. Did this generation of students get weaker, or did the 84 year old professor lose his edge as he aged? Perhaps neither, perhaps it's more the incompatibility between teaching/learning methods over such a large generational gap.

I'm not here to settle the argument on why he was fired, just to say that you can't boil it down to such a simplistic reason.
