Thank you. Reddit seems to be 100% convinced of this, but no official has ever even hinted at it afaik. I'll admit it seems very plausible, but let's not rule out general ignorance.

Yeah she sucked on that issue. I voted against her in the primary because she sucked so much on this.

I’m not even sure knowledge of what it does would make ok to eat. From everything I’ve heard or read about mushrooms the effect of Amanita is at best a dreamy sluggish type of state. Enhanced actual dreaming too. But a lot say it’s dysphoric and uncomfortable

it is apparently a talking point intended to excuse the moralistic bullshit that is the GOP these days.

This is awesome. OP, call WMUR and have them do a story. Tell them the police said they can't do anything. You'll have six cops there in ten seconds begging to help.

Because we decided that, with respect to weed, you have to be dying to live free.

He’s okay for a republican, I don’t agree with their ideology so I’m obviously biased but if I ever had to vote for a republican I’d hope it’s sununu lol

A lot of clever solutions here.

I lean left, but would vote for him in the primary to try and keep Trump or Desantis off the GOP general election ticket (I did the same in 2016 with Kasich).
It would be unlikely I'd vote for him in the general election as most of my values do not align with the GOP platform.

>Sununu wants to give the leftover money to large construction companies in exchange for small patches of luxury condos/apartments
Yeah...no. This is what he's putting the Covid money towards: "InvestNH makes $100 million available to accelerate the approval and construction of affordable workforce housing in New Hampshire." https://www.nheconomy.com/about-us/investnh
And his stance on weed is pretty clear. He sees it as a commodity - like you pointed out regarding alcohol. He wants it to be legalized federally so NH can sell it at liquor stores. He wants the state to get the revenue. Not saying I agree just that that seems to be his motivation.

He'll go back to being a regular trust fund baby pretty soon and we can forget about him.

Great suggestion, but there're two reasons I can't.
- I've been a girl scout for 11 years, and that's where my primary commitment lies.
- A... rather dramatic friend of mine is in boy scouts (today is the first time I'll be talking to her again after she got mad at me that I told her boyfriend about her plans to cheat on him with me ;-;).

trailers have wheels so they are easy to move. If you don't know how, then ask a friend who has a truck or tractor. 5 min and done.

Ahh — forgot about that, yeah. We're both thoroughly extroverted, but it sounds like it gets pretty packed during vacation season 😅

> But apparently, Rep Ross Berry (R) Manchester wants to change all that. He is on a special committee on Child Care (and also runs a child care business- conflict of interest much?) and would (if I read his quote correctly) want these deregulations to impact child care.
He is your average undereducated young republican.

Not that I post in antiwork, but the majority of the posts I see there are about how employers take advantage of low level employees and not necessarily about people that just don’t want to work because they are lazy. How is that indication of being a “basement dweller”?

I haven't, and will continue not to vote for him, largely because I don't align with him on many issues that are important to me.
On The Issues
A sprinkling of examples:
I believe that we should legalize cannabis. He does not, and often uses the opioid crisis as an example. While that seems like a good argument on the surface, because fighting drugs with more drugs feels weird, studies show that "states with medical cannabis laws experienced slower rates of increase in opioid analgesic overdose death rates compared to states without such laws." One such study
I disagree with him on restricting funding to Planned Parenthood. PP provides tons of valuable services. Community based health services are a boon for people, and as such they should be funded accordingly. Having good access to birth control and sexual health information is also good for reducing abortions.
I agree with his business-minded changes. I've owned more than one business in NH and NH continues to be a pretty business friendly state.
I disagree with the school choice, because I see it as taking away money from public schools. I grew up in pretty extreme poverty and public school was my saving grace. It helped me become an educated and well rounded. I also do not want my tax dollars to go to religious schools, because I see it as a violation of the separation of church and state, something which is important to me.
I agree with him on things like environmental cleanup, PFAS mitigation, no state income and sales tax. I disagree on him blocking commuter rail, as it would provide solid public transportation to a lot of people and bring economic success to NH.
In the end, I largely don't vote for him because of those harm reduction issues. I believe that in our society there are always things we will not like, but are necessary to keep things moving along and keep people safe and sound.
