For Boston specifically, they could rebuild the Long Island Bridge, which before its demolition was a usable footpath for addicts seeking treatment to get to Long Island, which at one point housed a hospital and even after the hospital's closure offered facilities for those in need including a homeless shelter and rehabilitation programs.

The area the article discusses, called politely "Mass and Cass," is also referred to as "methadone mile" and it does not really have comparable facilities to help those in need. Methadone mile sprang up when the BU medical center became the only real place where addicts can get treatment to try and wean off their drug addiction, and it's a real problem even for the addicts as there is very easy access to genuine opiods.

Stressful street living + constant presence of dealers + no facilities besides a regulated hospital = a really fucking impossible way to kick your addiction.

Methadone mile needs to go. Boston also needs the neighboring town of Quincy to stop fighting the rebuilding of the Long Island Bridge.

It's almost like our entire world of modern technology is inextricably connected to the economics that support it.

Because they only get famous enough to get votes by being outrageous enough to score headlines.

They're very similar to the Taliban in that regards.

"Also while working in war zones might come with danger pay, you're a teacher so we will pay you barely starvation wages and you'll have to buy supplies from your personal money."

Oh cool, is there anything similar for lemmy?

Nah, the remaining employees aren't the "dead wood" necessarily. They're all the ones on H1 visas who can't legally work in the US anywhere else (without taking a massive risk).

I may be missing the reference here?

I love the fediverse, but it hasn't fully solved the migration need problem. If I open an account on an instance which I later discover I don't like, I have to migrate for that as well.

The point as I see it is just limited to who do I want to follow, and what platforms can I use to do so? If bluesky turns to shit in a decade, but I get value out of it for that decade, maybe that's enough for my needs.

(FWIW, I am not on bluesky)

I don't have a great perspective on Israel and Hamas but all reports seem to be converging on the point that Bibi failed Israel and may have also deliberately fucked over Gaza.

I can't get past the awful animated guy

You're probably not familiar enough with the office workplace then. This is like every joke rolled into one.

Don't give me that much credit I'm just reading the units of measure the car gives me
