Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I saw this... wtf is going on over there?? More laws more laws, more regulations, but fuck the Constitution and disrespect to the government. No wonder people are leaving in droves, and the northern part of the state wants to break away from the nonsense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the big cities, rural Maine is wood booger, podunk, backwoods, uncle Bob moonshine greatness. I may have just answered my own question... But feel free to elaborate further!

The south is blue while the north has a red majority The people in the south want to tell those in the north how they should be living.

I also don't like industry lobbying the legislature to write law saying everyone must buy their product. Unless of course its a product I'm selling.

And yes, I've been waiting for the opportunity to use this You know that meme is a lie right? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lithium-mine-oil-sands/ I'll make it easy for you to realize that the meme you "have been waiting to use" is propaganda that you were dumb enough to fall for. You know from the oil industry that has more subsidies than almost any other industry.

One only has to understand that California has an electric shortage caused precisely by the type of regulations like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Danger Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Yea well California has so many regs on the books now that new home construction is almost zero so this new reg is meaningless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
