I was in Boston for the 4th after a cruise last summer and you were on terror alert then.
It’s a serious problem.
By the way I was amazed being from California that you don’t have the Hispanic labor problems with them taking all the service industry jobs yet.
Lots of older citizens with gray hair still able to work. We lost that some time in the 80s. Now you need to speak Spanish even as a citizen to work.
What has been Boston’s secret to avoiding the wave of Hispanics taking all the jobs? Lack of WELFARE?
I was truely amazed. My wife who is Mexican was one of the few I saw in Boston at all.
Perhaps unlike California the huge majority of Spanish speakers around here are Puerto Ricans who,obviously,are US citizens and,therefore,are eligible for every one of our very generous welfare programs (Federal *and* state) as soon as they step off the plane.So they don't provide competition for others wanting low paying jobs as might be the case on the Left Coast
Lack of welfare? You don't know the Gay State very well,do ya? ;-)
Simple.. it is too cold and New Englanders as a group demand a lot for a buck while still valuing time... hence the Boston driver and its evil twin.. a BMW with CT plates..
Mostly the weather... it can still kill you here, summer and winter.
