The problem is that additive manufacturing technology does not deliver the same economies of scale that traditional manufacturing does. The cost to deliver a 3d-printed part will largely stay the same, regardless of whether one or 100 are to be produced. This is in contrast to traditional methods, where it is far more cost effective to produce parts in large quantities.

I voted yes already but I would have preferred instead introducing a graduated state income tax and get rid of the regressive flat 5% tax rate for all income levels altogether.

The "tens of thousands" is from a misleading ad anyway that claimed that figure for people selling their house for $1m+. In reality, less than 1% of homes sold in Massachusetts meet that threshold

Just happened this week in my son's junior high - kid brought in a pellet gun to sell to another kid - they tried to do the exchange in the cafeteria at lunch. Both suspended.
Moral of the story is kids are dumb.

If you don't need unlimited data, I pay $300 annually to AT&T prepaid for 16GB/month. Works out to $25/month.
Also save you $900.
