The head of the Environmental Protection Agency doesn't believe in environmental protection? Unfortunately that checks out right about now

If you remove the population of all of greater Boston, a rather generous 5 million, then Massachusetts is still the 10th most densely populated state after having 5/7 of its population deleted but keeping the land area. It beats out California, and comes in behind Ohio.

That greater Boston metropolitan area figure may or may not also include population from neighboring Rhode Island and Vermont, not entirely sure on that

If you just take the population of Boston proper, 675k, out of the equation, then Massachusetts maintains its spot as 3rd most dense US state.

So conclusion: Massachusetts is dense af (relative to the US) even without Boston

The greatest trick is to make your opponent think you thought of everything. Powering off might just straight up work and they're just bluffing, might as well try

I'm non-republican in a family full of Republicans. I love my family. The thing they lack is empathy and foresight. They care about people of all religions, races, sexualities, etc. Just not when they're people they don't know. My grandmother is gay, we all love her. But some random gay person half the country away? They just don't care. They lack the foresight to realize the gay person THEY know could well be next. Like the immigrants, we're friends with plenty of immigrants, and the news tells them that bad things only happen to bad immigrants, so surely that wouldn't mean OUR friends. Spoiler: it does. They see protests on the news being framed as terrorists, and wonder why the police aren't being even harsher with them. Without wondering what it'd be like if those protestors were in our city, and people we know were being beaten like dogs. They live in their own world, it's not as if they don't care. They just only care when it's the people around THEM, it's literally the "oh shit the leopards ate MY face??"

Im not sure how representative my family in particular is, I'm sure there are plenty of Republicans who are genuinely just racist, sexist, etc against even people in their own community. But yeah, the propaganda runs deep.

With public transit, I'd have to walk / drive 5 miles to a bus stop, then hop across 2 seperate bus routes, then make it another 5 miles on foot or an uber or smth to get to work, for a combined 2 hours 40 minutes, assuming I uber the 10 miles where public transit is either non-existent, or goes too far out of the way that walking would be faster

Its only a 30 minute drive...

I mean to be fair, you wouldn't be getting paid $315,360 for a years worth of work, you'd be getting paid $315,360 for 7.488 million seconds in a year (ish, 40 hour weeks, no missed days)

So really to have picking up a penny in one second be "worth" your time, you'd only have to be making $74,880 a year or less
