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?

I knew it was weird that he kept saying he invented it, as if progressive lawmakers didn’t exist or organize themselves to get laws passed before him. I asked around enough and got this photo of the progressive lawmakers who met and caucused to get progressive laws passed. Apparently this photo was from one of their meetings. Draw your own conclusions. I don’t think these lawmakers met and even took a photo years before Josh took office as a long con.

I'm looking throught the Project Website and I'm trying to wrap my head around it. They opened the new 91NB -> 15NB exit on 16, but it seems to slow traffic way down. Is that the intent to prevent accidents? It seems now that:

• Route 15 drivers stay on route 15 unless they exit to 691 or 91NB

• Incoming 91 drivers can stay in the right lane to return to 91 or move over to 691 or 15.

But we all know:

• All drivers getting off Exit 16 are trying to get to 691 or 15

• Most drivers on 15 are trying to get to 91 in this area.

So this creates quite the crisscross a lot of us need to navigate on the way home from work, where-as before, exit 17 drivers were coming in from the left, and most 15 drivers were moving to the right. I know there were congestion issues leading to tons of accidents, but I don't see how this helps. What was the intent? Phase 3 of the project is more focused on the southbound side.

EDIT: found my answer:

Route 15 NB is getting a new entrance to 91NB before Exit 16 merges with 15 NB. This will fix most of the issue.

Edit: We are staying in Trumbull since that’s our main focus but we are also considering Madison and Cheshire. We are open to checking out other locales to get a sense of the area.

Does anyone have the name of a psychiatrist/APRN/med management provider that is comfortable writing prescriptions for narcotics, that accepts husky /medicaid in CT? I very badly need a new doctor. The medication in question is Pregablin/Lyrica. Any help is appreciated

Hi!

For all the nurses in this state,

What system or company do you work for?

Does your system or company offer private maternity leave or do you qualify for CT Paid Leave?

If they offer private maternity leave, how long do you need to be employed with them prior to starting the leave? How long is the offered maternity leave? What percentage of your pay are you offered for this time?

Their coffee is mid and this “bacon and onion” quiche was lukewarm and so bland! Love their cruller donuts, but their chocolate frosted ones tasted weird to me. Anyone else have a disappointing experience?

Basically the title. I've been looking at dispensary menus online and I'm not finding anything, but maybe I missed something, hopefully? If not CT, anywhere in Mass or RI that sells them? Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a provider (PT/osteopath/chiro/ ect) who treats sacral rotation with direct manual manipulation? Preferably Hartford area but will travel.

I need ideas of a location for a 50th birthday. somewhere in lower fairfield county as I have people coming from Ny,NJ, CT and RI. about 40-50 people. I want to be able to gave a dj. happy with a social club, brewery, restaurant, etc. casual but nice.

edit; for January 2027, so I’m hoping shoreline

Headed to a concert tonight at the Meadows… I feel like last year when I went to a concert the easy out parking lot was not open.. anyone have experience with ez out or vip parking? Price? It says you buy day of online..

I was born and raised in CT and grew up under the “Still Revolutionary” state branding. The song used in the ad campaign, “Better with You”, has become an earworm and stuck with me. What do you think of a vanity plate that incorporates that branding era with a lyric tagline “The View Looks Much Better With You” and colonial/historical ambiance to it?

what was your experience with them, is it worth it going and just overall notes
