Boston MA has an overtime budget of $60 million annual. Do you really believe this is only used for riots and presidental visits? I'd agree if the amount was close to the actual amount of unplanned activites but this amount is obscene. There are currently about 2,000 Boston police. This equals 30K overtime per person.

One of the best reforms possible would be to eliminate the clout of the union and make it easy to fire someone. Remove the pension and move to a standard 401K like the rest of us. Do this across all government. I bet the rest would fix itself quickly. Did you know governments budget overtime for police. That's just crazy and shows poor planning at all levels.

They've also stopped hloroquine phosphate for the same reasons. And in a separate article by the FDA, remdesivir will also likley get the same. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-warns-newly-discovered-potential-drug-interaction-may-reduce

I heard that someone got injured badly when this came down.

I'm almost always asleep at this hour. Not tonight, listening to

I'm listening to this and enjoying it very much. Thanks!

I thought it was a scam. My card showed my first name and my wife's last name. Fortunately I didn't throw it away. Once I was convinced it wasn't a scam I tried to activate the card by using the web site and then tried to transfer the funds to my checking account. The transfer didn't take place. Two days later at a trip to Home Depot I decided to test the card to see if I could make a physical transaction. It wanted a PIN number. I wasn't provided a PIN when I registered online. Sigh. This morning I dialed the credit card phone number and used the automated activation method. It required me to provide the last six digits of my SSN and once validated it asked me to provide a 4 digit PIN. I think I'm ready to stimulate... I didn't get a cover letter and signature by the POTUS, I thought that was part of the deal.

Brad, I liked my first listen to that CD. Now playing:
