[@antbee520]

I think we need to commend MW for stepping up taking this much responsibility and saving Boston

[@arifulislamleeton]

Thank you

[@antbee520]

I think that the people filling up a shopping cart at Whole Foods with $400 at one time aren't perfect their want to show off that they are better than other people

[@antbee520]

I hate it when some veterans come onto me at the NECHV

[@antbee520]

I mean people in Maverick station seem to make little use out of actually being in Boston they tend to crowd the blue line this sounds mean butt too bad they also have some kind of male favored kind of culture

[@antbee520]

creative economy

[@antbee520]

I think we need to stop looking in the mirror so much no need to make so much eye contact with people we dont know yeah if you're talking to your dad looking in their eyes instead of looking away makes sense

[@antbee520]

so a five dollar t shirt could be low like 5 cents a fifty dollar garment 5.00 a hundred dollar shirt 15.00 a thousand dollar outfit or clothing item could be 250.00 tax

[@antbee520]

voting is a popularity contest

[@antbee520]

there's a lot of biases and barriers to getting elected

[@antbee520]

I want to know who is exactly considered white and who ain't who considers themselves white

[@antbee520]

we need to send some people out of Boston if they make Boston unpleasant for others

[@antbee520]

[@antbee520]

I am not lazy or incompetent and I will beat anyone in a academic competition

[@antbee520]

too much entitlement mentality re where does the obligation by home owners toupe to fully support others

[@antbee520]

the other areas are just downright scary illegal drugs and human trafficking and delinquency

[@antbee520]

voters need to qualify to vote

[@antbee520]

we can't just weaken Boston because of the color of people's skin and woes me compared to others

[@antbee520]

why not also give out vouchers for more activity and no sports in school that should be separate the money spent on sports is too costly to pay for an indoor gym when there are plenty of places to run walk we dont need competition sports

[@antbee520]

I've got a solution I'm working on

[@antbee520]

we can just add on sales tax on clothing then

[@antbee520]

[@antbee520]

Boston families of those vulnerable types really don't business in Boston they need to move to Lowell a smaller community that can take care of them they are dependent their own family for some reason does not want to be involved in them they need to not feel like they are different they need to learn about family size and that their parents maybe had them before they were ready and they shouldn't go around with their pants showing

[@antbee520]

barriers exist because we not bringing real experiences to the table working parents people of color

[@antbee520]

[@antbee520]

Boston should have more intentional communities rather than neighbors who dont know eachother

[@antbee520]

im not for ousting others by the low ball effect of low income and getting tax payers to pay for their subsidized housing everyone should be up for review

[@antbee520]

[@jennyli365]

Good luck to fix the system,

[@antbee520]

we are not supposed to say hey you are poor that's why you wear those sneakers with dirt on them or hey you are poor look at your hair so it's it rather behind the times to use words like ma'am shouldn't we all ask what pronouns a person prefers instead of going into a store and the employee typically says um I don't know the answer let me get the man manager over here she wants to buy some tips

[@rasenchidoricumshotsiv6523]

Need me a girl like her

[@antbee520]

yeah butt there is more below the surface some people might look all one racial identity however they might be conglomerates that is more than one racial identity I find it rude and lame and unsophisticated of complete strangers to only talk about that in a completely unintelligent way
