Haha, I’m just a crazy cat lady!! Thank you!

Lots of young cats a year-ish old, but I think you can call and get on a list for upcoming kitten season.

Yeah. And even as someone who generally dislikes the government running shit and having a monopoly on it... I really can't complain about the way this state has set up liquor laws. It works well, the employees are treated well and have good benefits, and a lot of it is far cheaper than it is other places. And you can VERY easily find a specific bottle of something on the website and know exactly which store to go to if you want to purchase it. That is massively underrated if you're looking for something specific.

Good to know, thanks!

Bengals are absolutely beautiful 😻

Yeah that makes more sense. That's what I would have expected the rate to be. If I recall correctly, Sundays you get 1.5x and Holidays are also 1.5x and if both coincide you get 2x pay as well. So it's definitely a decent job overall if you get the hours.

In professor Farnsworth's voice It can involve 2 things. Why Shouldn't it?

Seems my info is out of date.

I can't find the exact numbers on the state website (and I'm sure it's there) but it looks like the going rate is at least $16 an hour for a clerk II plus they get part-time benefits. I think it's part of one of the state employee unions. So it's really not a bad gig. A lot of the older clerks I've talked to are there because it's something to do and I think they get healthcare even as part time.

Yeah, the NH senate has killed it the last several times it's brought up, but every time there's one or two more senators who vote for it as the dinosaurs like D'Alessandro leave.

It will eventually get passed in the senate, and even if Sununu vetoes, it's already pretty close to the veto override and could probably get there if they struck the psychedelics in an amendment.

> This shoot for the moon trend on some bills is annoying. I saw a decent solar bill get killed today because some junior rep tried to increase solar use by 1170% for the next gabillion years.

It's like the "water protection bill" that was being discussed here yesterday. The standards that were set out in that were absolutely crazy high, to the point where some bottled water wouldn't pass, and the amount of PFAS in soil alone would probably cause a lot of water sources to be over the limit.

Like, let's protect our water, sure, but let's do it in a way that makes fucking sense and is reasonably possible.

.74 oz is what, a pretty full quart sized bag of bud?

Like, you MIGHT be able to make a joint out of it but it'd be fucking massive.

Damn. When I worked at a store 10 years ago that was the going rate for the sales/laborers. Was hoping it woulda increased in ten years but guess not.

I for one would definitely be up for the state doing it to increase tax revenue, but I don't want to wait til fed government makes it legal for them to do it either.

This^^^^

I think the state run stores start at $12-something an hour, but the benefits are ridiculous and all employees, even part time ones, get them.

Yeah, there's a lot of ways that a state monopoly on liquor sales could go wrong, but in NH it works well, and generates a shitload of revenue for the state which is not really tax revenue.

I would 100% be OK with NH doing a similar thing with dispensaries because that's just another revenue stream for the state that keeps our taxes from going up as fast.

I was gonna say, I've found it much harder to buy liquor in MA than NH. There's more stores if you just want like, Smirnoff and Jack, but if you're looking for more craft stuff, higher end stuff, or interesting/unique stuff, the state stores in NH have a WAY better selection than most of the private stores in MA, and are much easier to get to.

Plus, the sticker price in MA might be only a little more but then you get sales tax slapped on top of it.

That's awesome. And I appreciate the tip; whenever I manage to move to a bigger house, I'd like to get the 3rd cat I planned for before the pandemic made adoptions so difficult.

I live in NH. I used to be pro-legalization. But my mind has been changed. I’m sick of seeing people smoking it while driving, in traffic. I’m tired of smelling it everywhere I go. If it’s ever up for a vote I’m voting no because the people doing it now aren’t responsible enough with it for it to be legalized. I don’t care about all the gateway dumb arguments, I just hate the smell of it and the fact that people are so incredibly irresponsible.

Who ever authored this bill is a fucking Nazi!!! No room for bigots and nazis in NH. Move the fuck out.

Patio table

usually the burden of proof is on the person making the initial claim/point....

Good!

Most of the people in this thread also have no interest in knowing what the bill addresses. They just want to REEEEEEEEEE about the rEthUGliCaNS.

Imagine being so bat shit crazy that you believe any of the garbage written in the message above.

"Educating children goes against everything they believe in".

If you honestly believe that, you are someone who should not be taken seriously.

They want porn out of school libraries. There have been tons of examples of concerned parents bringing it up in town meetings, that the school library at the elementary level has porn. Getting that out of the school libraries isn't the worst thing in the world.

If you want porn in the libraries for the 4th graders, say so in this thread.

They also have a sister facility in dover(cocheco valley was renamed pope memorial SPCA dover)

Lol NH is not gonna go from “live free or die unless you have drugs” to “live free and do ALL THE DRUGS”

Pot would be one thing. But did I read this bill legalizes acid and other psychedelics as well? Lol that’d be a swell victory for libertarians but it will never pass the senate and Sununu won’t sign it.
