I’d suggest you learn the difference between plagiarizing, memorizing, and research and writing.
But you’ll get a lot more out of just not being a tool-bag first.

Please let me know precisely where I plagiarized this from when you get a chance, professor.

And you should use commas and periods.

I think you're probably just being an ass, but in case you're just not that bright, I'll explain:
First, no one said the sponsors of the bill were good people. All that was said was that sometimes good people make mistakes. So, it's a possible explanation for this bad bill EVEN IF we assume the best about them.
Second:
Carlos González has been a social worker, prior to some private industry experience advancing likely-underserved Hispanic people and businesses. For at least 16 years since then, he's worked in government, representing all his constituents, perhaps even ones who say dumb shit on Reddit.
Judith A. Garcia has worked in local and state government for the last seven years. She's focused her work on housing, the environment, and education. She's also the daughter of an immigrant single mother who is showing everyone that the American dream is still possible, even in spite of all the negativity in our society, perhaps as evidenced in dumb comments on Reddit.
Shirley B. Arriaga joined the military when she was 20 and served for about a decade. Doing service in Iraq and Afghanistan "out of a sense of duty to our country." She did this even though some of what she was protecting was the right of idiots to say uninformed things on Reddit.
Bud L. Williams has been in public service in governmental capacity for some 30 years. Prior to that he was a probation officer, helping to rehabilitate those who had previously committed crimes but were on the road to becoming productive citizens, unlike those who fake-ask silly questions to pretend like they're clever on Reddit.
Russell E. Holmes was a successful small businessman for years prior to serving the public for the last ten-plus years. He has worked with community groups such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, tutored and mentored young adults, and has been there to support his wife of 14 years who has dedicated what seems like her whole life to education. And that's important because we so much ignorance everywhere, like in the comments on Reddit.
Third, each of those five people make only around $70k a year working for the public good when they could probably be in the private sector making more and putting up with less bullshit.

Unfortunately, such a comment made in complete seriousness by someone wouldn’t be surprising these days.

Even good people can have misguided ideas sometimes. Focusing too hard on what good might come from something to the detriment of seeing all the bad.

Do actually believe that or are you just being edgy for kicks? Serious question.
If you do believe that, can you elaborate on why it’s okay for society to do such a poor job of creating better people, and why state ownership of the bodies of these people should be a consequence of that?

Your jury duty will likely get called off the day before anyway. If it is your district, just take the date.

I was there around Thanksgiving and they were stocked full up. Yes, they were out of one thing I wanted, but it was there within a week. Plus, it wasn’t too busy right at open, so it was way more enjoyable to cruise the goods.

You could contact the Mass DMV and ask. It’s not like it’s top secret info. Indeed, there are even laws requiring govt agencies to respond to reasonable requests for info (FOIA, etc).
Having had to get info from various govt agencies before, you’ll be surprised how often specific agencies have someone who is even excited to help.

It’s soooo bad. I drive rarely and not very far, but I can always depend on seeing at least one crazy thing for every two or three miles covered.

I think you’re right, that everything would just be better if people followed the right-of-way rules, but ignoring these rules seems to be the standard in and around Boston at least. People constantly stop and let cars in.
It’s odd, because so many people told me the drivers would be hyper aggressive before I got here. But they’re not, for the most part. What I see mostly is comically bad/inattentive driving, and… people letting people in when they should just go. It’s like everyone is being too… nice?
Also, as a non-native, I wonder if the pandemic changed the way people drive here. Was this total disregard for right-of-way laws common before the pandemic?

Reply to comment by may7even in Therapists that take a public insurance plan. by may7even
This reminds me of recently getting new insurance after moving to Mass only to find out no general practice doctors on the list of network providers are actually taking new patients without a subscription fee. And that’s just the doctors I could actually reach with the largely out of date contact info I was given.
So broken.

Call attorneys and have a 10-20 sentence version of your story ready. Don’t ramble. Tell your story, then answer their questions with just the info they’re looking for and then await another question. Short and precise. When they’re done, they should tell you what they think.
If you’re rambling or emotional or whacky, they aren’t gonna want to help. Crazy clients are more trouble than they’re worth.
