1000 people surveyed.

This a meaningless number of both gen z and zoomers?

The whole article seems to say that because voter fraud exists and that there is a preception amoung conservative voters that elections are rigged that voting is pointless.

And then these folks that didn’t vote because “it’s rigged” will lose fairly and scream that it’s rigged.

This article supports this odd mindset and is unhelpful to maintaining a healthy democracy.

We don’t need two sides looking for a reason to claim fraud every time they lose. We need to encourage everyone to vote and have confidence that their vote matters. How we get back to that place I have no idea. But this article does not help.

They frame voter fraud as a widespread thing happening everywhere, but their own source link in the article says 1500 proven voter fraud, 1200 something convictions - which is a small fraction of the whole.

They fear monger about immigrants and undocumented voting but I’ve yet to actually see a real source that says this has happened and is happening on a large scale.

The whole thing is fear mongering fraudulent elections but there’s no proof that happened at a scale large enough to actually influence the result in 2016 2020 or 2024.

This article seems like an oppinion piece that is fear mongering

I got our oil removed and heat pumps installed through masssave last fall.

I ended up getting 5 quotes that varies from $20k-50k. Two of the installers wanted to do ducted systems and eventually we ended up around $30k with a good installer.

We paid the 10k as a down payment in November. Got the 0% interest loan about $150/month. We just got the rebate check in the mail. And 150/mo plus the new electric rate is still cheaper than oil. Long term I’m hoping it will pay for itself.

Paid to go thru hiking in eaither case

You sure? I see like a lot of dots at all the intersections

Ehhh he’s fairly spot on. When I didn’t have insurance I had to go to the ER or try to find a doc that would write a prescription “under the table” - which never went well. No urgent care would see me.

Now that I have insurance I’ve only been to the ER for a real emergency once.

Still going to the ER with insurance wiped out my savings though, so I don’t really see all that much difference.

Odd I got the site and not a rick roll. Try rejecting the cookies?

Yes and his new content will be released as fully ramblomatic, realsed under second wind instead of escapist…

Zero Punctuation for me. He has a similar taste in games to what I like and a so so positive ZP review is usually a solid buy for me.

I guess the name is changing soon to fully ramblematic? There’s drama with the owner of the ZP IP right now and the folks who actually own the IP are 100% gonna fuck it up. Creator is starting fresh after a walking from a bad deal is how I understand the situation.

Exactly what I’m doing right now. Oil tank is rated for 30 years, and it’s 32 years old.

Start here and get an energy assessment done. Took about 90min, we did it on a video call.

They are also going to upgrade our insulation to current standards. $3000 job but through them we are paying $526.44. Also we got some free power strips and shower heads and a smart thermostat upgrade.

If this whole heat pump install goes well I’m going to be telling literally everyone in MA to contact them…

Ya that sounds rough. Maybe they ran higher gauge cable and skimped on the breaker?

I know electric work can be included in the loan for whatever that’s worth.

MA already has a program in place. Look up MassSave. Bet case scenario you could qualify for a 10k rebate and a 7year 0% interest loan.

We get a fall and 3-4 months of winter.

For reference the cheapest heat pump water heater I was able to get quoted (4 companies quoted) was $6k. We elected to get a non efficient water tank at $1900. 2023.

I think covid drove up the cost for sure. And I think certain contractors are inflating the price for the rebate. 2 of 4 companies gave me 50k plus quotes even without duct work. Maybe that was the fuck you we don’t have the people to do it please go away price though I dunno.

Yea it’s basically a not mini mini split.

We looked into doing a ducted heat pump through the attic for the top floor. But it quickly brought the project into the 50k range for what amounted to a slightly better looking design.
