What a stupid comment. Did you read what I said in context of what the other poster said?

Why do you comment on things you don't understand? So sensitive.

You've literally never said anything positive about anything in Massachusetts I don't really care but I just don't understand why you live somewhere that you seem to dislike so much.

Not my fault you ignore stuff. Can't help you bruh. But do read a bit more closely. You clearly aren't very happy in the suburbs.

I live closer to Govt center than you do. (Oak sq ish if I recall)


There are things Massachusetts can do better absolutely but you have never said something positive about the Commonwealth yet you choose to live here and it's baffling. Seems like you'll be happier back in Ohio

Lol yes you brought up mileage from Oak Square to Govt center before, it was a rather dumb conversation, IIR, and I don't remember your point. Something about even though you were born and raised thoroughly suburban, you're more in touch with the city than I am. Anyway I actually really like Oak Square Brighton Center for living, and I've recommended it a lot on this board.

You can feel free to DM me your questions about my biography, since it weighs on your mind so much. Or just pay more attention to things in general.

Anyway, this is extremely off topic and has nothing to do with Worcester or the Sox. I don't know why you made this personal.

I blame the sports franchises a lot, but at the end of the day, we have to look in the mirrors too. People don't realize, and nor do they care really, how much these millionaires and billionaires are using the public dime to do stuff they'd never do with their own money. I have lost a lot of respect for the whole industry over the years. That being said, I am still going to the Sox game tonight.

You really can't blame the Sports Franchises, if I could walk into the statehouse and ask for $35M or some city/Town Hall and get $100M and get it I'd do it.

Also for what it's worth McCoy was publucslly built.

Well, that type of behavior is reprehensible on both side's part, but also, if only it were 35 or 100 million! Stadiums and sports teams cost way more than that over the years and from so many different directions.

Bailouts seem to be the name the game and subsidies. We might not like but that but it happens. I just heard Edible Arrangements is leaving CT for Atlanta Georgia.

What gets to me isn't so much businesses going to another region or state or county but if it's just a few miles away. The Best Buy in Kingston left for Plymouth, practically 2 miles away. Now nothing really changed for the customer but for them it must have saved it. The kingston mall later on blocked off and sealed off the entrance to make it seem like it didn't exist.

I feel the same way about public unions (like these people) it's not their fault for asking it's the governments fault for giving in so easy.
