Ewe I hate that. I was speaking more on terms with abortion compared to the rest of the country. Up to 24 weeks and there’s no limit if it having the baby could harm the mother or child. I do hope this doesn’t pass similar stuff has been vetoed in the passes so I don’t think so. There is definitely some questionable people here like anywhere in the US recently I feel like people have been showing their true colors sadly.

Abortion is currently legal in NH before the fetus is 24 weeks old. After 24 weeks of age, abortion is illegal with the only exception being medical emergencies and fatal fetal diagnoses. According to an nhpr article published last month.

This article will give you more info on nhs abortion laws and what's being proposed:

I will say that NH is ass backwards in that they are currently considering a law that would ban gender affirming care for minors as well as ban teaching about gender identity in schools:

They provide ordinary cable service to a lot of more rural areas, but the main links to the cable are either by satellite or microwave distribution. So when it rains or there's heavy snow, the cable service goes out.

On the other hand I had a great install and they had to bring a bucket truck from across the state to fix something on the pole on the same day of the install.

Just curious if this is a breeze line employee or they hired a contractor.

Clarity is important thanks for asking - You said a border guard made a hundred grand a year - I looked it up because that seemed high - New Hampshire boarder guards make less than 50 grand a year. At fifty grand you can barely be a home owner in NH let alone own a ranch - sometimes I fear people in higher tax brackets forget what it is like for the actual little guy working hard on the boarder - keeping it safe for you. Question- do you own a vacation property? A lot of people do and it makes it a lot harder for working class people in NH to own their own home

MA has better schools, hospitals and in general, is more progressive. That isn't to say that NH is BAD but I think MA would be a better fit. Also as far as snow goes there are definitely areas closer to Boston that on average get less snow and take care of the roads better than NH. All that being said, Southern NH is probably where you want to look.

For all the same reasons you want to leave Florida, I am urging my kids to leave NH. MA is much more civilized with rational Healthcare and much better education. Avoid NH. Regarding taxes, property taxes in NH more than make up for absence of income tax. Live free or die my ass.

Like the other people have said. Its stupid expensive to live here right now. Theres very few decent houses available and not a lot of decent jobs. Theres hardly any public transportation and with new hampshire being so spread out l, having to travel a fair amount for a job is common. Theres no marijuana so if you have medical issues or just like smoking your screwed. The taxes are fucking stupid high and depending on where the live the schools can be complete backwoods or semi decent for a public school. Registering a vehicle is based off its value, so if you have a newer vehicle you could end up paying close to 2,000 a year to register. This state has all the high taxes and rates like any other "progressive" state yet you get very little in return. And if you are single this is a terrible state to try and build a life in.
