This actually follows the motto, the state leaves it up to employers to figure out. I posted the stat in another thread recently, but only 1% of NH workers make minimum wage. That's why we don't set it higher than the national, there's no reason to.

Woot!

Oh I know ;-)

You can trust us when it comes to being your only source of energy though. Hahah

It's obvious we won't see eye to eye on this, so I'll reframe a simple question for you.

Do you think it's ok for an electricity provider that's supplying a basic need to pay $644M of dividends to shareholders with our money for three quarters in 2022 and give their CEO a 28% raise in one year?

> CPI is not directly linked to profit margins.

Percentages? No. Nominal dollar values of those profits? Yes, it pretty much is.

> "but they're just passing on the rates they're paying"

Yes, that's accurate, at least for the part of your bill that's seen a huge hike.

> reread the three bullet points I noted.

I've read them, I just don't think they're a very definitive representation.

For example, the difference in earnings between Q3 '22 and Q3 '21 appears not to be anything to do with actually increased earnings, it's just that they had $63m in fines in Q3 '21 that they didn't have in Q3 '22, revenues were almost the same.

Beyond that, the company has drastically changed size over the past few years. A far larger company should probably make more money.

I went on Friday night.

Tiger was in decent shape, I think only Steeps and Stonebar were closed. I didn't hit the peak lift, the lines were pretty bad for it.

Lmao ok bud

> 17 years old is not a "kid". That's a young adult.

Try telling that to the military.

> The police do not control the mental health system.

That doesn't mean they don't play a role in how society deals with mental health.

> Not based on what we know.

We know humans have free will.

> The police must react if that person is threatening the life of another.

False. Police have no legal obligation to endanger themselves for the protection of others.

> but so far there are no red flags.

Just newly red walls and carpeting.

They did, for the term of their sentence.

CPI is not directly linked to profit margins.

>I'm not saying they're great, altruistic firms, but they're largely not really responsible for your bills increasing either.

Considering Eversource sets the prices we pay, I would say they are responsible for the rates we pay. Before you reply with "but they're just passing on the rates they're paying", reread the three bullet points I noted.

This is why we need not-for-profit public or publicly-owned utilities. Neo-liberal deregulation is a sham to enrich the capitalist class and extract from the working class.

Whatever, creep.

Clearly you can't answer it for some reason. IDK why.

You posted this in Forgotten NH on fb, right?

> But you can’t make the conclusion that they lie if you don’t listen to them.

Sure I can. I can listen to and evaluate reliable outside sources.

> Listen, evaluate, determine. Three basic tenants that are required for critical thinking.

Sure, absolutely. But I don't need to do that with every possible source. I can listen to lawyers, activists, and cons/ex-cons all agree that cops can and will lie, evaluate the consistency of the claims over multiple sources, and determine that cops are an unreliable source of information. Once I've determined, through critical evaluation, that cops aren't reliable, then there's no point in me asking a cop if cops lie. Obviously the cop is going to say no, regardless of whether or not that's actually true.

> If you can’t even do those three basics, then there’s no legitimate basis to your beliefs.

Fortunately for me, I can.

> The top nine of these companies—whose fiscal calendars line up with the regular calendar—have seen their net incomes rise a total of nearly $250 million to over $13.8 billion in 2022’s first three quarters

So profits are up <2% this year? That's less than inflation. Doesn't seem like they're reaping any special profits this year. Sounds a lot like they're...not really the reason prices are skyrocketing.

I'm not saying they're great, altruistic firms, but they're largely not really responsible for your bills increasing either.

Nope.

I shouldn't have to answer it. If you don't know the difference between a child and a grown-ass adult, then you probably shouldn't be allowed around children.

This was so helpful. Thank you! He did consider getting his hazmat. Thank you!

Guess the treasure has been found.

Cities have, since they fund the police:

>New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Baltimore and a dozen other cities have all also reduced police spending.

Fantastic answer to my question

That's a very good idea! Doesnt harpoon do their own delivering or is that just in mass? Either way there might also be opportunities in St Jonsbury or Barre

That's some weak trolling bud.
