The power grid should be nationalized not owned by a multinational corporation.

I still agree. Let's vote out CMP in November! We shouldn't need much help given that they are the lowest rated utility in the entire country.

Do you want to learn? If so online colleges are a joke, the information is recycled and often out of date.
Are you looking to get your masters and don’t want to work that hard? Online school is the way to go! At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where the degree comes from, your resume will still say you have a MS

Ride it out the full year the fine is typically cheaper then the registration. Otherwise your only covered for 3 months then you have to pay again

Yes and no, when I did the online thing at least three of my “professors” lacked knowledge of the course material. Buyer beware.

Vinny O'Malley's parents were among the early churchgoers, and a plaque in their honor is posted adjacent to a stained glass window.
O’Malley said in an interview, "What happened was the success of the immigrants in that first round of Irish. They came here, they worked on the waterfront, like my father, the railroad, the gas company, the telephone, and then they got a little successful, and they moved to the suburbs."
The space now hosts life cycle events, like weddings and memorials, as well as concerts, poetry readings, and other performances.
"We're open to everyone. You don't have to be Irish," said O’Malley, the heritage center’s former executive director, referring to Portland's newest immigrants, asylum seekers from Africa, including a surge of 750 new arrivals since the start of 2023.
“Who come here, who don’t always have a place that they can call their own,” O'Malley said.
Rep. Pingree delivered the symbolic $3 million check to renovate the center, which has a leaky roof and needs other repairs.
Pingree, whose grandparents were immigrants from Norway, said the earmark she secured celebrates not only Irish heritage but also welcoming all immigrants.
Pingree said in an interview, "Particularly here in Maine, where we're the oldest state in the nation. I was reading a quote from Ronald Reagan: 'we don't stay a vital nation unless we welcome newcomers.’”
A bill introduced by Pingree and Sen. Susan Collins, backed by Rep. Jared Golden, Sen. Angus King, and Gov. Janet Mills, woukld shorten the waiting period for asylum seekers to legally work from six months to one month.

The aquarium has been maligning the lobster industry for at least twenty years. When I was last there, there were cards on the cafe tables saying they don’t serve lobster because it’s being overfished. Was completely untrue and there was research to prove it. I think these are PETA people who know abundant crustaceans do not generate as much sympathy as endangered mammals.

I forgot mine for six months. They charged me half price because it would only be good for another six months. I didn’t argue, but I felt kind of guilty.

What makes you think a bunch of politicians will make the system better? You DO understand that it is a politician that started this whole mess, right?

Net income (profit) for CMP is right around $180 million
Nowhere close to $3 Billion.
Their total assets are around $5 Billion.
For reference Pine Tree Power has to buy Verisant too, and their assets are worth right about $1 Billion.
Since both are profitable companies, you won’t be able to buy them for less than face value, and will likely have to buy them for some multiple of that (ever watch Shark Tank?)
So call it 1.5x ($6 Billion) and you’re going to pay a minimum of $9 Billion for this statewide takeover.
