I’ve heard they are like the gold standard I have also heard they are overpriced as well. What’s the general consensus? Are they good at gauging if someone can do the work or are they better as a way to bypass a resume filter?
Know some people who work at a few of the venues on his tour. Kind of surprised he is close to or has sold out some of these smaller venues. Do people not know or do people not care?
This is a bit of a rant so be warned.
There has always been conservatives in Connecticut, not an issue to me but this is not really the Jody Rell right wing from back in the day. But not like this and I fear for the future to come. I’ve left this state before and I feel as though I might end up doing it again, this time begrudgingly.
I’ve been noticing it more and more, in specific with the older crowds (who happen to be the main people who go out to the polls) being a part of this vitriolic
aggressive faction of the local political sphere.
It seems like every post I see in relation to local politics in CT is filled with it. To be clear I don’t live under a rock I know this has been going on for a bit nation wide but CT has always been a bit insulated from it until now. As lot of the country is recoiling from the recent events going on it seems like the rhetoric is starting to become more common here.
Now it seems like I cannot open an instagram or facebook post about things in Connecticut without an aggressive boomer spouting talking points they heard from someone whose whole job is to piss them off.
Two Puerto Rican people arrested? Well here comes some tacit racism and vaguities about how they don’t belong (us territory btw), or the classic painting of them being the “usual suspects”. I made the mistake of downloading NextDoor and immediately deleted it when I realized it’s basically just brain rot of old people clutching their pearls.
My favorite is the constant incessant NIMBYism which is causing our state to lose all its youth for greener pastures because our state refuses to give a shit about making housing affordable because “muh house will lose value!!”. Well Dale when you are nothing more than bones in the dirt, and if you were lucky to have even paid off that house you will be handing it to your kids who most likely can’t afford it because of the inflated costs and because the inability to make a decent living. Either that or it will go to your favorite old man Uncle Sam.
This mentality is like a disease, it’s a plague. That’s because it’s easy to spread. Doesn’t take a lot, never does, it’s snake oil. It’s easy to blame all the world’s problems on simple things because admitting that it’s something bigger means that it might be a bigger issue than most people know how to contend with.
What’s the point of all these small towns with their sense of communities if none of them are going to step up the plate to make things better for the people who make those communities what they are?
No one gives a fuck if we are the pizza state when we are pricing people out of places to bring it home to.
Connecticut we can do better than this. We are failing our youth. We are failing the standard we have held as a state and we are failing the future generations who will take care of all of us when we are gasping for oxygen in a dank dreary hospital bed.
At this point what is even here for a young person?
