Well, you are not wrong. It’s based on Ojibwa chief Thomas Little Shell, which I always thought was odd myself.

What in F are you talking about? They are doctors first and finish Med school like every other doctor and then specialize in psychiatry afterwards. Whatever stupid links you posted, it appears you didn’t read them or probably and more likely didn’t comprehend them. We already have evidence you didn’t understand one of the articles you linked….

Hey Troll, you already got blown up in the first post by me and nothing more needs to be said. Accept it and move on. Rural folk have representation….and that’s the simple fact of it. Anything else is gibberish and ignorance. Learn how the government works….come back when you do.
What you want is MORE representation than the rest of us. Our government doesn’t work that way. See game over, insert quarter and try again.
PS it’s “ad hoc” not box. Another phrase you do not understand

No, you are trying to troll me into a stupid argument with you. Guess what….you are not that slick nor bright enough to tempt me.
Your ignorance of basic civics is astounding, dragging the Jim Crow era into this, belies how much you do not understand how the government works.

You are lost, dude. Please don’t throw around terms, comparisons, you barely understand and try to gaslight me with severe faulty logic.
Rural folk have representatives and that is pretty much the end of it.
Also, as an aside which I am sure I will regret to point out. City and country folk have symbiotic relationship, not a CiTy FoLK wOuLd DiE without rural folk.

Rural folk have representation and a voice, why do you think you vote? What you want, is special and more representation than what the rest of us have, which is some sort of outdated electoral college bullshit.
Your example and comparison to minorities is borderline stupid.

You sure about that dude?

Coverted to USD = $63,367 annually
However, you are correct about owning a house in SWZ but not because of the salary but availability of houses. It’s more common for the Swiss to buy an apartment than a house. Plus Switzerland has a high amount of company owned houses that are given to employees than most other nations.

I believe it’s Love Canal that started the Superfund Act and highlighted these kind of issues. I also think it’s listed at the top.

Sad when people don’t read all the links provided. They are still cleaning it up and yes, contaminated water got into the drinking water.

Thirty-five outraged neighbors filed suit against Baird & McGuire. They compared it to Love Canal in western New York, one of the nation’s most publicized Superfund sites, and claimed pollution-induced cancer and other health problems.

No, a chemical plant
​
>The Baird & McGuire facility is located on a 20-acre site in Holbrook and operated as a chemical mixing and batching company from 1912 to 1983. Later activities included mixing, packaging, storing, and distributing various products, including pesticides, disinfectants, soaps, floor waxes, and solvents. Some of the raw materials used at the site were stored in a tank farm and piped to the laboratory or mixing buildings. Other raw materials were stored in drums on site. Waste disposal methods at the site included direct discharge into the soil, a nearby brook, wetlands, and a former gravel pit. Hazardous wastes historically were disposed of in an on-site lagoon and cesspool. Also included on site were two lagoons open to rain and large areas of buried wastes such as cans, debris, lab bottles, and hundreds of bottles of chemicals. The lagoon area has been capped with clay. The on-site buildings were in various states of disrepair and unsecured; early activities conducted by EPA included demolishing all but one of the buildings and the tank farms. The tank farm area was temporarily capped. The site is completely fenced and a groundwater recirculation system was operated to contain the groundwater plume until permanent remedies were implemented. The site is 500 feet west of the Cochato River. The Cochato River had at one time, been diverted into the Richardi Reservoir, a water system serving nearly 90,000 people in the Towns of Holbrook, Randolph, and Braintree. Currently, the Cochato River is not being used as a supply source for the Richardi Reservoir. The South Street well field, part of the municipal water supply for Holbrook, is located within 1,500 feet of the site and was shut down in 1982.

It’s the 14th most contaminated site in the US. They discovered it in 1980 and the grounds are so polluted that they are still cleaning it up with probably another 20 to 30 years to go.

It’s even more wild to come from Massachusetts moved to England and surprise everyone of them by being able to pronounce the names correctly unlike most Americans.

Not trying to be pedantic here but Scratch Arse Ware is not a town or village, it’s the name of a hiking trail and it’s Fingrininghoe.
But there other places over here called Penistone. There’s a name of a road called Fanny Hands Road. Fanny doesn’t mean ass in the UK, it means the name of a female body part.
