As for those pockets in MA, so interesting you should say that. As an outsider early on, I made observations about MA and in particular the Boston/Cambridge area. I shared with my hubs that it seemed that the people in the area lived in a 'bubble."
Between "big academia," "big medicine," "big pharma," "big finance," "big tech," and the military/industrial complex (Raytheon, for example), Bay State residents lived in "the system," and would do everything to protect themselves within it. Boston/Cambridge always seemed to come back sooner than other parts of the country when downturns happened -- and it's so obvious why.
So, when the psychos started to announce their crime, I tried to point out that it was a crime, but there weren't nobody around with ears to hear.
There exist pockets of sanity but IMO the state is gone. Captured if you will.
I've seen your posts here and there and thought "cool lady"...
Oh...thank you! ❤️

Bingo! You described the decline of MA to a tee.
