Students in Massachusetts will get free lunch and breakfast at school thanks to a new 4% tax put on people who earn more than $1 million.

In five more years everyone will be moving here trying to get away from climate disasters in other parts of the country anyway so I'm not particularly worried about it. We were also just rated the best state in the country to live and raise a family too so 🤷‍♂️

Given that Boston already has flooding as is due to increased rainfall and the degrading nature of the dams on the Charles, I would prefer we try to mitigate things before we pretend like we will be fine for us.
