It goes back further than that, the trial run in the 80s didn't materialize from nothing. That's how long this project has been under discussion, and how long the taxpayers have been paying for studies and for debates and so on. I'd love to see the actual dollar amount that's already been spent without any actual construction being done, or without any concrete plans materializing. That's why this bill is happening, people want to put a cork in this thing before we spend another half century paying for more studies.

You realize people can use it come into the state right?

It will be a money pit but it will never come close to the pit that I93 was or the FEET expansion will be…

All public transportation are money put by design but they pay for themselves in economic impact.

I would like to know who's going to enforce this and how.

That was the plan. Now they wanna enshrine it’s death in stone I guess.

No. Not every project is worthy of funding. What kind of argument is that? If someone doesn't see a need for commuter rail, that doesn't make them any less of a "patriot" than someone that does see a need. That's such a disgusting way of debating a topic. Some people want commuter rail, they need to make a compelling argument to convince enough of the voters and their representatives to push the project through. That hasn't happened so far. Expensive projects like this should never get an automatic green light.

Okay fine if you wanna go back 45 years

Awesome, that’s 👍

Tons of people pay no taxes, Its simple. The baffling thing is that people who don't want to pay taxes, yet want money. Those people are selfish and short-sighted. So those are the people thinking wrong, like you are.

You made a sweeping statement that patriots and "true Americans" love paying taxes. That's like the "no true Scotsman" fallacy. You might love it, plenty of people don't. There are whole businesses devoted to helping people pay the least amount of taxes possible. Does that make them less patriotic or less of an American? That's a slippery slope. If you're not making six figures, you're practically a terrorist?

Wait, I’m opposed to this bill, but is your proposition that if we could roll the right kind of people here on a train, we’d get more housing out of it?

It is not illegal to live off grid

I'm curious if there have been any cases of schools making the bathrooms or locker rooms not same-sex in the state? Or is this politicians watching too much cable news?

I was one the fence about that sentence because I assumed you'd make a stink about how voters shape policy just by voting. Blah blah blah. Anyways, you just want to pick apart what I am sayibg without making a point. I DO love to pay taxes so you are the one with inaccurate assumptions

Rock climbing is also an option, there's a gym in Nashua and one in Manchester, memberships aren't that expensive (comparatively to snowboarding). And bouldering is a fun option if you don't have anyone to go with

I like to go hiking and remote camping.

>You're just blindly giving money to government without participating in the process.

Make assumptions much?

You're far more optimistic of them than I am. Lol

Maybe we should improve housing first ffs.

Making it so residents have basic shelter should be a much fucking higher priority than, idk, making sure Dipshit McGee doesn't have two dwive an hour for work :((((((

The content of the bill as introduced is pretty basic:

>This bill requires that multi-stall bathrooms and locker rooms in all public New Hampshire elementary, middle, and high schools be same sex.

I gave you a good reason to pay taxes. You're just blindly giving money to government without participating in the process. If no one worked at all no one would pay taxes and there would be no government at all. You can already go live like that if you want to. Go

The funny thing is that some of them will inevitably figure it out over time and become the same people they see today as obstructionists. The cycle of life.

Something that Warren Buffett said about 15 years ago in his annual report. He described, in detail, why insurance is a great busines to be in.
