If this is a gas generator, they're probably getting around 6 kWh/gal. If it's diesel, probably 11.

At $4.33/gal (diesel), that's 39¢/kWh (avg US rates are 17¢, this is more expensive than everywhere except Hawaii - but diesel costs $5.24 in Hawaii and 48¢/kWh is more expensive than HI electricity)

Boston Soccer 2026 is like "trust us, we expect to have $30M by the end of the World Cup".

What if there are other costs that get paid before Foxborough?

If it's such a sure thing, why won't the billionaire Krafts guarantee it?

$7.8M is 50-100 teachers in a town with 440 teachers (11-22%)

If Foxborough were a big city, they'd probably gamble that Boston Soccer 2026 would pay them - but they're asking the town to spend 7% of their budget for this event with a hazy commitment on reimbursement.

If Boston Soccer 2026 doesn't pay them, does the town lay off teachers to pay for it?

Boston Soccer 2026 says they expect to have the money to pay, but that isn't really assuaging Foxborough's doubts.

The Krafts are frustrated - but it seems they don't want to guarantee the $7.8M themselves. If they really believed Boston Soccer 2026 would pay, why not co-sign as a guarantor?

Foxborough is asking for the $7.8M needed to pay for security. Organizers promise they'll pay, but the commitments are hazy.

Kraft, worth over $10B, could easily fund it himself, but it seems that he wants the town to take the risk that Boston Soccer 2026 will have the money to pay the bill.

I'm so sorry. #spongebob #plankton

I’ve had people laugh saying 'A better Massachusetts is possible' sounds underwhelming.

But do you actually believe it? That fixing the T, solving the housing crisis, making childcare affordable is around the corner?

Or is believing that we can have a government that delivers genuinely radical.

There should a professional wrestling league consisting entirely of trans and queer folks.

Imagine the fire promos and drama of 4 trans girls vying for a tag team belt.

I'm just going to point out that this is like saying that JD Vance is not racist because he's married to Usha.

It's lazy, and Ryan is also strawmanning what the actual concerns with Platner are.

Outsiders: Dunks is bad coffee

Bostonians: We literally sing "love that dirty water." You think mid coffee is going to put us off?
