Ok, that’s fine, republicans own the house. So what does that mean? We have to wait till the dems are in control of everything??

I’m a democrat. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone. I work in the cannabis field, and feel really let down. Don’t you fell like that too?

Reply to comment by [deleted] in A South Korean court says same-sex partners should get government benefits by Alex09464367

It's about the National Health Insurance system. For a 'family' in Korea, the entire family members can get national insurance service if 'at least' one person in family works and pays for the insurance. However, for homosexual couples, it's not the case because they are not considered as 'families'. Now the court ordered so that the insurance policy is also applied to homosexual couples. It means, even if only one person is working and paying the insurance fee, another one (probably not working and not earning money) can get insurance benefit from this.

If it is not law yet, then your argument is with the heading of this Post & not with those who correctly read it. It states, legislation that was passed, not in committee, not contemplating on passing it, but passed with bipartisan support. So please, direct your dismay at the proper entity and not those who see this as an advancement of Our basic freedoms to decide for ourselves if We care to indulge or not.

It isn't normally involved. It was noted as necessary due to decimation by infestation. Where there is a wind path you will typically see an opening of the trees. Check with your local forest service and politicians. Reports were filed. Please look into what is really happening to the forests due to climate change related infestation in North America. It's a viscious cycle. https://www.nature.org/en-us/newsroom/pests-pathogens-threats-forests-climate/

At this stage of the game, refusing to legalize just means anyone who can is going to take their business out of state where the government can't tax it. Refusing to legalize is just hurting state governments where it's illegal at this point.

As I understood it, the court is essentially saying there needs to be a civil union (though they might not call it that) option akin to what a lot of countries passed before gay marriage got enough public support. And it is usually easier to go from civil union to full equality in marriage, because you can point to those relationships and say "hey, they basically have marriage in all but name already and it is hurting no one".

Actually true in a sense, Marco- . Warming lowlands and oceans instigate stratospheric instability with polar vortex weakening, so polar vortex spills out, drops a freeze down, seeking homeostasis? It's gonna get alot hotter and way colder while it gets alot wetter but then windier and drier... but yeah, alot hotter.

This will be vetoed by the governor who is a republican. as he has done before, or killed by republicans in the NH senate. The only way that this will become signed into law is for New Hampshire voters to elect a governor who will sign the bill, and elect legislators who will pass it in the Senate.

Republicans in NH want tax revenue to go to ME and MA, not to the people of NH. It's not like the people of NH are going to stop buying cannabis from other states anytime soon. it's just dumb.
