As I’m certain you’re aware the Rebuild NH leadership team and their organization has done a fabulous job of organizing many of us Granite Staters to ensure that our Governor and our Executive Counselors know, in no uncertain terms, that we oppose them taking the $27 million grant offered by HHS.

Data Point – Who Keeps More of Your Money: You or the Government?
“One would think that in a nation founded on liberty that we’d be free to spend more on personal consumption than the government takes from us. But that’s not the case.”
Palate Cleanser – Old Folks Know All the Great Hacks
Know the system – exploit the system. Do the math and add in a wee bit of retribution as well and you get…..this!
Answer? They want money: “Young Granite Staters face barriers to civic involvement”
What a bunch of whiners. I’ve had this in my stack of stuff since the middle of May and I’m just as annoyed now as I was then. And this guy, Manny Espitia (of course, he’s a Democrat – another Bernie-Bro), makes the title above absolutely clear (reformatted, emphasis mine): He said already, employers as … Read more
Data Point – Govt’s Favorite “Hidden Tax” is back – with a Vengeance!
My past is now my future – again. And Government is doing it with GLEE! My adult life start during the Jimmy Carter Administration – grown up, out of school, and in the workforce for the first time. Frankly, an awful time for many given the stagflation that was starting in – but ESPECIALLY the … Read more
Data Point – Whose Carbon Emissions are Out of Control? Not the US’s
I grow weary of the US being the world’s whipping boy for almost every evil in the world. The Eco-Socialists are always blaming us yet even as our population went from 203 million people to 327 million, our emissions stayed relatively flat. So as our population went up by 50%, per capita emissions went down. … Read more
Green is the New Black – Reliable Energy is Racist
What is it going to take to wake everyone up? What if the government told you that racism is a public health threat and the powers that be could use that to issue extra-constitutional demands. That’s familiar enough, but how about this. Using energy sources that can be relied upon to keep you from freezing to death is racist too.
Why Can’t Johnny Get a Job?
The story from the employers or human resource officers over the past 10 years hasn’t changed. For every ten applicants for an entry-level job, over half cannot pass a simple literacy test.
Education is Broken … Don’t Simply Shrug and Move On
Who runs our K-12 education? Local and state government schools, right? It’s not capitalists, billionaires and bankers. It’s our government paid experts.
Chinese Slave Labor Pays the NBA
There’s a terrible optic out there for the NBA. It appears slave labor pays for the NBA in China. Don’t you just love professional sports these days? Neither do I. The National Basketball Association is full if hypocritical social justice warriors. Don’t misunderstand. They believe what they say… for as long as they are talking. … Read more
Data Point – For context, remember that the US spends $30 Billion a year on pet food
The Left keeps yammering that there’s too much money in politics. Well, they keep putting into play by making Government too big in terms of demanding it takes more of your money spending that money in ways it shouldn’t be – but a lot goes to “friends” And this election cycle? More and more money … Read more
Big Tech Cuts off the Money Supply
An advertising account manager at Google directs major advertisers to the page of the Sleeping Giants. Sleeping Giants is a far-left organization spreading smears about conservative media websites. It works in an effort to frighten advertisers away from conservatives.
Vote To Retake New Hampshire’s Representation From the Antifa, BLM, Anarchist, Islamist, Democrat Party.
U.S. Senate candidate Jon Ossoff is a Democrat running in Georgia. California donors provided twice as much through large contributions as donors from Georgia. That’s according to federal election filings. Somebody is buying a senate seat if they can.
Bureaucracy Is Your Enemy … We Can Fix That
Our bureaucracies are unaccountable and unelected. They have come to view themselves as here before elected officials got here and staying when the elected officials leave.
NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio are Dumb and Dumber
SHOT: De Blasio announces $10K fines, checkpoints for travelers flouting NYC quarantine:: “Out-of-state travelers could face up to $10,000 in fines if they break New York City’s two-week quarantine rule and checkpoints will be set up at entry points into the city, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday.”
Data Point – Granite Stater’s Less likely to Take Out Loans to Get By During ‘Pandemic’
I didn’t expect to see this but it does bolster the idea that some folks in the Live Free or Die State are taking the idea of “Rugged Individualism-Self-Sufficiency” – of which being prepared is part of that ethos – fairly seriously.
NH Received at Least $2.24 Million Per COVID19 Hospitalization – Where’d it All Go?
Last week we shared some data from Kaiser Health. In it, they reported how much states had received per COVID19 case (as of Mid-April). New Hampshire was pegged at 200,000 per incidence. But that struck me as the wrong way to look at it. The grave concern was hospitalizations, so what was the cost for that?
So, How Much Money Did NH Get to Keep Us Locked Down?
This is a quick one—more questions than answers. But I’m throwing it out for crowdsourcing because NH has always been ready to milk the Jackpot Justice Cow. COVID-19 turned out to be just such a cow, and someone sent me this a while back. I missed it until now, but it is still relevant.
Data Point – Saving rates by Americans WAY up
Americans are so nervous about the state of the economy that they are stashing cash in the bank at a rate not seen since the first year of Ronald Reagan’s presidency.
The United States government’s Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Thursday morning that the savings rate surged to 13.1% in March — up from 8% in February.
DISQUS Doodlings – No, bartering never left the economic scene
Will the pandemic bring back bartering? The short and to the point answer is: it never went away. Our economic systems started with it and it has continued to this day: two people eyeing what the other person has, figuring out the relative values of each thing, and then trying to do a swap of “equal” value.
