Funny thing about that. My nephew had his truck stolen in Concord when he had a medical issue.
He gets, more or less, better in a couple days, so he goes to try and track it down. MIA.

Months go by and he's been moved from hospital to hospital and he finally gets a notice from a storage yard in Manchester that the storage bill has come due. Yeah. It was hauled off a street in Manchvegas, and hauled to a yard.

The bill found HIM before he found the car. Evidently, a lost car is only searched for in the town that it's lost in. Its like 'too much effort' to have a state listing of VINs that could be searchable?

Could be worse, could be better....

Like others have said, he's also completely out of touch with the day to day experience of people given how extraordinarily wealthy he/his family is and continues to not listen to his constiuents (ie cannabis legalization).

Well, he’s good enough that the Dems haven’t been able to ticket a serious contender for governor since he has been in office. He’s good enough that if the Republican presidential primary was today, he would get my vote over any other currently announced candidate. Father was Bush I’s chief of staff, so have to assume he has a line on traditional GOP fundraising available to him. He’s anti-federalist, I think he handled Covid as (as a real and political minefield) as well as anyone in the country. Is he more likable than a Larry Hogan? I think so. Can a GOP centrist take the reigns from its current populist base… probably not. But, and this is a big but, but if somehow Trump and Desantis end up going into an open convention, a moderate with a couple of votes on the board might be a good place to be.

He has vetoed attempts to move closer to ranked choice voting and attempts to make gerrymandering harder. To me this means he is a turd. But in a party of explosive diarrhea inducing Trumphumpers I take the turd I suppose.

Fell victim to the covid lockdown scam and instituted some stupid mask mandates. Less of a tyrant than what the democrats come up with. Overall not the worst politican, but that's not a high bar.

I don’t like any politician that cowtows to MAGA crowds and refuses to do what the citizens of his state want. NH has lost millions of dollars due to his ineptitude.

Electricians aren't on the list of proposed cuts. Even so, the state license is not what actually qualities someone to do the job or ensures good outcomes. An electrician for example would still take electrical courses and vet experience in the field with a qualified company or apprentice under a master electrician. You as a consumer are still allowed to ask for their experience and qualifications, ensure that they are insured, etc.

If an electrician fucks a job up bad, they won't be in business very long. The free market has more expediant and balanced ways for handling this type of failure than the government does.

It's not impressive. I've experienced far worse than what you're highlighting and I'm white.

Also important to point out the goalpost shift from people acting like there's some active Nazi takeover of Portsmouth to talking about micro aggressions and colonialism.

Also, if you're Puerto Rican with any Spanish ancestry, you're as much a "colonizer" as any of us. In fact, more so because your ancestors were definitively "colonizers" if you do, while a lot of us just came from struggling farmers and tradespeople and such. Not that you should be blaming people for presumed crimes of their ancestors based on their skin color (because that's what racism actually is), but it sounds like you do and it's as hypocritical as it gets.
