Minimum wage bill from Chris Murphy
I'm not going to argue for or against a higher minimum wage, but it makes much more sense to do that at the state and local level than the federal level.

This is what your town want from us. Do you accept.
I've been seeing this ad a lot lately. I think Lamont does a pretty good job at being balanced and moderate. I find this add a bit cringey though. Not sure why, maybe just a bit too cheesy. Any thoughts?
Just wanted to see how it was going when we drove by that new library the other day in downtown Manchester
The building project is looking good for the new library's opening later this year. Located in downtown Main Street in Manchester, Connecticut USA
It's replacing an older Mary Cheney Library nearby.
The one near Walmart in Manchester

Just when we think something new but cool and interesting will pop up.
I have no words. The article is truly jaw-dropping when you read the quotes of why and how this new ticket was created.

I tend to shop at both stores somewhere around Connecticut whenever I'm in a good mood and need something cool at thrifty prices.
While I have better luck at finding stuff at Savers, Goodwill is full of a lot of employees who are nice and courteous plus I think Goodwills have better, interesting and trendy movie collections.
While Savers charges a little higher for books (I'm an avid reader), Goodwills offer lower prices on physical media.
I'd like to know from you which you think out of those two thrift stores (plus Salvation Army or other thrift stores), one of which is your preferred place for thrifting and why.
Which one is better -- and why?
