> Hunger is rising in NH.

it literally isn't

your reminder that the OFFICIAL definition of "food insecurity" includes "ate leftovers once in a given week"

No one is hungry in America; this is a con to coerce support for left wing NGOs. 2/

This woman is losing her shit because Americans are finding and applying for job listings that she and her fellow H1-B lawyers are trying to hide from them. They already have bodies from Indian staffing firms at below market rates lined up and don't want Americans to apply. 2/
If I had to guess?

Because, as an H1-B attorney, she doesn't get paid unless she processes the paperwork for an Indian.

Every American who gets a job reduces her income.

This thread is absolutely amazing.

He's accidentally documenting exactly how companies post fake job ads after they've already found the H1-B they intend to use, and doesn't realize that his claim "its just paperwork for government" is isomorphic to "we're comitting fraud". 2/

There are two lessons that must frame every single discussion:

- Everything responds to incentives
- False positives and false negatives both exist

When homosexuality was stigmatized, many were closeted, even to themselves.

When celebrated, many actual heteros experiment. 2/
There's an interesting conversation to be had about the economic decision about what the ideal level of tolerance is, which takes both false positives and false negatives as real & heart breaking

There were too few LGBT, furries, fetishists in 1950.

There are too many now.

Really?

Can one go to the Smithsonian and learn that FDR jailed American citizens because of their race? That Lincoln jailed journalists for not kowtowing to his demands that they slant the news? That Hillary Clinton laundered bribes through cattle trading? 2/
No.

The Smithsonian is chock full of regime-approved narratives.

"Dazzling Diversity", "Forces for Change: Black Woman's Activism", "De ultima hora: Latinas Report Breaking News" ...

I'm not exactly a knob-slobbering fan of the police, but a few times in my life I've been at the pointy end of the jack boot, and I've responded "Is that a lawful order, or a request? Because if it's a lawful order I will immediately comply." 2/
Sir, I need you to step out of the house.

"Is that a lawful order, or a request? Because if it's a lawful order I will immediately comply."

I need you to step out of the house right now.

"All you need to do is tell me that that's an order"

I need you to step out

"Ah"

One week in - universal school vouchers already flooded with refugees from the failing government-run schools.

@NHHouseDems deliberately underestimated number of families that would rather get $4,500 to educate their own children than take $25,000 of worthless "free" "education" 2/
There is a cap in the budget for the number of EFAs, so that we can't be surprised and be forced to overspend.

However, there is a provision to monitor the number of applicants and feed that forward into future budget-making.

I used to read AGW papers for fun.

Every one was chock full of insane stuff like "we took all the weather stations we had, which wasn't many, then constructed a grid of phantom weather stations and created data for them by interpolating the sparse mesh we did have. Then we performed statistics on those datapoints ...".

Just absolute witch doctor stuff. 2/
I was an undergraduate the first time I saw how "science" makes the sausage. I had a part time job writing C code for a demographic computer model that some sociology professor had gotten grants to build.

The model coallated time series data from dozens of sources, then did regressions atop this data to both create "causal" links between the data at the same or similar timestamps (e.g. births recorded in the 1980 census are predicted by 0.102 x number of cars in 1970 census + ... ) >>>

The National Guard was sent to Kent State after five nights of rioting which destroyed local businesses (BLM-style). The previous night hard leftists had torched the ROTC building and attached firefighters' hoses with axes.

The shooting itself happened after hard left activists flying a Viet Cong flag ("traitors" and "insurrectionists" in the language of the Democratic Party c. 2025) physically attacked NG troops, which retreated over and over and over again.

Millionaires like Angela Bovill at the shady Ascentria network of NGOs bring Somalis to NH.

The first generation puts a ~ $1M+/person drag on our economy.

...but each second generation Somali destroys over half a million dollars of value.

This is in a pure economic hit alone, and doesn't factor in "soft" effects like decreased social trust, increased littering, public drunkenness, child abuse, etc.

Today, we remember and honor the nursing bitch and puppies that ATF agents shot to death in their pen - before going onto burn women and children to death - as part of "Operation Showtime", an op designed to help the BATF get a more funding.

So I actually wrote my undergrad history honors thesis on the evolution of the organization of the Roman legion c 300 BC to 300 AD.

When you say this was the pay rate, what era are you referring to? 2/
I'm drunk and angry.

LFG!!

> It is not libertarian to kidnap / murder people for crossing unowned lines in the sand

Naive libertarians think that borders don't / shouldn't exist because they're just made up by governments and everyone should have the right to go wherever they want. 2/
sophisticated libertarians realize that every person generates both positive and negative externalities, and those externalities mostly land on those who are geographically proximate to them, and to some degree those externalities are not object but subjective based on WHO >>

Remember how two weeks back I exposed the absolutely insane amounts of money flowing to the let's-resettle-illegals-in-NH NGOs?

Well, it turns out that they're scared that my bill to stop it just might work.

They are full Defcon-5. Check out the list of signatories here! Image 2/ Image

If you read the story, the complaint is that mothers - faced with the actual cost of outsourcing childcare - prefer to do it themselves.

This upsets the left because they want taxpayers to subsidize it so women can put their kids in childcare then work. 2/
This complaint is identical to "Pappy Van Winkle costs too much, and the government is refusing to subsidize it, so I guess I'll drink Balvenie instead".

...yes.

...and ?

combining my interests in

(a) open government data
(b) data visualization
(c) small government budgets

I am currently making a "Sankey" diagram from a state budget, showing were NH gov gets and spends its money.

It's only 1/4 done, and it's alread fascinating.

Will post soon. 2/
Here's a data source.

It's a 1,284 page budget.

This is false.

US doctors formed a cartel (the AMA) which

1. Lobbies for legal restrictions on employment ("must have an M.D.")
2. exercises veto power over creation / expansion of programs that grant M.D.s

in order to restrict competition and keep wages high. 2/

I wonder what left-wing NGO used taxpayer dollars to enrich NH with this diversity [ which is, ofc, "our strength" ] ?

unfortunately our magic dirt just hasn't had time to work it's magic, but I'm sure he'll pick up our arbitrary cultural norms like <checks notes> not raping people soon enough. Image
