Reply to comment by Mascbro26 in NH governor budgets close to $1.5M in funding for northern border safety by sdlover420
A wasted $1.5 million is a wasted $1.5 million. I don't consider the state wasting that kind of money to be trivial. It's money they have to take from people who could do something actually useful with it.

Liberty does offer this- he's griping that this is the only free option. I see his point, you shouldn't charge me extra for paying you.

I am not defending it, I just explained the rationale behind it which, for some reason, in your mind you think I'm defending it. Now go away

You are wrong about taxes. NH is ranked 46th (5th lowest in the US) for overall tax burden, MA is ranked 21st.

Why are you arguing with me? I'm not the one who enacted the policy, nor am I defending it. Find someone else to fight with

I know some people that work there… the new system sucks for the customer and the employee. The worst part is they wasted some much money on a’ new system’ that sucks. Eversource adopted the system sooner and is SUEING the company because the system is so crappy.

What evidence do YOU have that warrants the spend. Burden of proof is on those saying this is an issue

I think you miss the point. Show me a reason to spend this money. Show me that people are using Canada as a gateway, and dialing in on the smallest state border, in a state full of armed mountain folk. No. IF some freeloader made it to Canada, they’re better off there than here. And if they are bad actors, they’re safer crossing on the other coast. This is pissing our money away for optics. You want to refute that? Get the metrics on illegal crossings in NH. cuz I’ve seen nothing

The American dream was killed by republicans. Still waiting for those billionaires to let their untaxed income trickle down to us…..

Sorry, if I was from the third world and capable of getting to a country with canadas social safety nets, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to give that up. I’d keep my bootstraps in the land of the overly polite

You'll have to ask them. My guess is the "American Dream" is a big factor along with how strict Canada is with immigration. And maybe they want to join family/friends in the US.

Is he trying to keep people in? I’m sorry I just was unaware that the state with the smallest border with Canada happens to be the crossing point. I also find it hard to believe Canada is full of criminals trying to break into the US. If they did, we’d catch them quickly as soon as they encounter someone and apologize for crossing illegally

If the parents support their kids transitioning , the state should keep their noses out if this period. Now if the school is ramming crap down kids throat and the families do not believe in it. It’s their total right to object to this. One parent’s right should not trump another parent decision. It’s a tricky subject for sure.

sex education could improve ALOT in schools, many schools are removing it or just not taking it seriously. self care taught in school? since when? i never saw anything even remotely close to it in the schools i went to.
​
jobs as in a kid getting out of high school should have several options of what they want to do for a job. they should support and allow kids in high school to go to different job sites and shadow different careers they want to do and/or promote computer work like coding and repair and building of technology instead of pushing it to a after school program or not fund it at all like most places just ignoring it.
a tax class like how they work what they are, how to manage and invest money. tie taxes and money management in the same class. how to save and spend responsible. ive literally never used calculus or algebra ever in my adult life. adding and subtraction sure.
​
a half a semester class or full semester class would definitely be beneficial on emergency and first aid stuff. daily tasks like kitchen fires, broken leg while camping, mom passes out how do you call 911 or where to get help. obviously it be different for each age group or level and probably keep the more advance stuff for high school.
school should be more geared toward preparing you for life. just a small example ive had 2 16-18 year old kids join my team at work recently and they are fresh out of high school with no skills or how to act in public professionally. dropping fuck this fuck that infront of customers, smoking weed on their 15 minute breaks and seeing nothing wrong with that. eating food on the counter on the sales floor. just not prepared for the workforce at all. late to the point of almost being fired countless times. kids should be coming out of high school being able to maintain a job and live on their own at 18. yes not everyone is like what i explained above but there is a huge group of them that are.

How about a nice commuting train system that goes through the Seacoast towns to Boston? Like from Manchester-Exeter-Portsmouth-Seabrook - Boston? Instead of wasting money on things the feds should be doing ?
Or how about helping people affected by drugs?
Spend money on things that matter. Transportation is a big need for NH.

Seems like the harder is to find the actual bills, the more the media is misrepresenting them.
