Democratizing Work: How a City Can Help More People Be Gainfully Employed
What do you see when you encounter a person on the street begging for money? Do you see a homeless person, a con artist, a grifter, a nuisance, a danger, an untouchable to be ignored?

Biden is Releasing Illegal Aliens Who Test Positive for Covid into America
Do you understand why the Biden Administration is releasing illegal aliens who test positive for COVID19 into the United States? A legal reason for NOT doing so is having an infectious disease. We have immigration law on this point.

The Center for Dystopian Chaos (CDC) has released new rules for the peasants. Ye shall wear a mask (over nose and mouth) on any conveyance or at or in any transportation hub. Air, bus, train, cab, and even rideshare services will be expected to enforce the rules.
California: We Can’t Keep the Lights On So Let’s Ban Gas Powered Vehicles
It is no secret that California is a mess. Crime, Disease, poverty, homelessness, and that was before COVID or the riots. The green energy also has rolling blackouts due to insufficient electric power, so what’s the next logical step? Prohibit any vehicle that is not electric.
Help Wanted: The Massive Gas Tax Proposal Rollout Is Today – We Need People to Watch the Webinar
If you missed it, a cabal of Northeastern states wants to create a bit of separation between voters and taxing authority. Give the power to unelected bureaucrats whom you cannot vote out of office. It’s called the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI), and there’s an update (program launch) Webinar Today!
Should New Hampshire Replace Every Exit Number on Every Highway Sign…?
Here’s something I didn’t know (until today). Almost every state in the US has stopped using Exit numbers on Highway signs. They’ve replaced them miles from some defined point (like a border). I thought borders were racist?
If Taxation is Theft, The NH Dept of Environmental Services Wants You to be Their Next Victim
With all the nonsense in the world, it’s easy to lose track of who is trying to screw you. Helpful hint: elected Democrats, about everything, always. We also have state agencies filled with Concord Swamp Rats looking to screw us over as well.
United States Critical Issues in Transportation 2019
Transportation systems are essential for modern day economies and people’s lifestyles, and are undergoing lots of changes. These changes could potentially either make future congestion, fuel consumptions and emissions better or worse, and have a positive or a negative impact on transport networks and thus, the economy. Transportation in the United States is largely affected … Read more
Who Want’s to Take a NH DOT Transportation Survey?
It’s not very exciting. And there is no specific reference to commuter rail, but I don’t trust them. Who? The people behind the people behind this NH DOT Transportation survey.
Democrat Solution to Democrat Created Problem – Charge $1000.00/ Year to Register Electric Vehicles
Since the imposition of Obama on the Nation, we’ve been forced to endure endless prattle over our transportation future. Part of the prescription includes electric vehicles (EV). And while there are plenty of problems, from economics to infrastructure, to practicality, the biggest one for Democrats is revenue.
Rep. Liz Cheney Asks Green New Deal ‘Experts’: How Did You Travel to Washington?
Ending Transportation as we know it is a feature of the Green New Deal. What we’ve come to consider modern vehicles like planes, trains, and automobiles would be mothballed. So, when four “experts” arrived in Washington to speak to Congress on the plan Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney had a question. How’d you get here?
So-Called ‘Free Money’ for Rail Study Yanked From New Hampshire Transportation Plan
In late April the NH Senate pulled a four million dollar rail study line-item out of the State’s ten-year transportation budget. The Senate passed the amended version, denying the choo-choo fetishists yet another expensive act of engineering voyeurism.
The advocates for waste, fraud, and abuse were not happy.
Commuter Rail in NH Is a Fools Errand
I don’t typically link to the Concord Fish Wrapper, but this is worth the trip. I am a retired highway engineer and transportation planner with more than 36 years of experience in eight states and Washington, D.C. My opinions are based on experience, 42 years of transportation policy observations and objective study of publicly available … Read more
Well, the Spenders in Gilford may still lust after “free” taxpayer money – but Troy, Michigan has figured it out!
Free money from the Feds, from the State, from the County…..Free! Free! Free! Hey, grab it, because that money is FREE to our taxpayers – it doesn’t cost US a thing! But those that wish to spend it, that lust after it, they hate it when the obvious truth comes out – er, it’s not free. The money that they are so eager to lay their hands on has to come from somewhere – and the only answer is “from other taxpayers”. As the money comes in, with such soothing dulcet tones “think of all of the things you can give to your constituents, your taxpayers – your voters” as they wave the wads like a hypnotic pendant: spend me, spend me – and make yourselves look like heroes.
Yeah, heroes – as the Feds pile up a $15 Trillion debt by which our present “leaders” are indenturing our great grand-kids. Heroes, indeed – just call them the “elected gimme group” (as opposed to regular special interest gimme crowd).
Yet, there may be hope – that I am not alone! In fact, there is one town whose Leaders are being true leaders and not participating in the bankrupting of America. Even as all those around them castigate them for not taking the money, they show their wisdom by seeing the big picture that others refuse to see (or do not dare to see because of a lack of courage). The folks in Troy, Michigan have had the courage to do just that.
Death To Rail (Bride Of RTA)
This is what we call the tits-on-a-bull defense. Chris wants rail. There is no good reason for it, he just wants it. And he could care less that we already have infrastructure that works, that is more adaptable, and which costs significantly less to operate.
Ray Stevens is at it again – TSA in his sights
He’s having a great time, isn’t he?
The NH Rail Transit Authority: LET’S GET RID OF IT!
Why? Lots of reasons. But let me let State Rep. John Hikel explain why. As vice chairman of the State House Transportation Committee, no one explains it better than Rep. Hikel:
Passenger rail a boondoggle for New Hampshire taxpayers
By Rep. John Hikel
As a candidate for State Representative, I joined many who were elected in promising to be more careful with taxpayer money than our predecessors, who managed to grow government by 25 percent in just four years. As a legislature, we have taken numerous steps to ensure that we watch every tax dollar that the state will spend to make sure it is delivering value.
For this reason, it is critical that we abolish the New Hampshire Rail Transit Authority (NHRTA) before it can…
