One set of twins. Two separate states. Over 1000 miles between them. Will great minds still think alike?

Wonder what this is filled with?
NOT COFFEE, that’s what.
Boston is currently in a state of emergency.
Yesterday afternoon, one of the city’s main water pipes was damaged, and the water supply was declared unsafe for drinking (or brushing your teeth with).
Now, I didn’t complain when I had to pay $3.29 for a bottle of water with which to brush my teeth.
I didn’t complain when the dining halls shut down for a few hours because they couldn’t cook with or wash vegetables with the water.
I didn’t even complain when the massive lines of people buying bottled water at Shaw’s made me late for a birthday party (I brought the cookies).
But, goddammit, Boston, if you think I’m going to just sit back and relax while you don’t get your act together and start making coffee again, you are dead wrong.
Somebody please call the red phone in the war room, because this is obviously some kind of communist plan for take over: deprive the city of Boston of the thing it needs most, and then come in right as the town is on the brink of tearing itself apart, and supply. Supply, supply, supply.
Basic economics tells us that the market is in equilibrium when supply meets demand, and that if demand exceeds supply, prices will increase.
You know democracy has failed when you offer to pay twice or even thrice as much for a cup of coffee that you’re sure must exist somewhere and you’re denied.
Needless to say, this is going to be a rough day of studying.
Pray for me.
