If your manager wants to do it again only over the phone, Vermont is a one party consent state for recording so record it.

It can be done, but the state constitution needs to empower it. My last state has a true bi-partisan districting commission made up of 6 people, 2 appointed from each of the state majority and minority parties in the house and senate, and 1 appointed by each party state chair. It always yields 3 GOP and 3 Dems and prevents any serious gerrymandering. Only reason it's like this is because it's in the state constitution and the GOP supermajority hasn't tried amending it....yet.

Iā€™d imagine alcohol regulations already on the books contributes to the biggest differences. The two products are also inherently different in their supply chains and distribution.

This is kinda getting into the weeds. The fact that NH is the only state in the northeast that still bans recreational cannabis despite overwhelming popular support shows thereā€™s something wrong with leadership in Concord.

It's a completely new market with gray areas and pipeline variances, churn is to be expected. And while some businesses might fail, others are flourishing. Smells like capitalism to me, no?

FWIW, it looked like the comment I replied to was referring to tax revenue, not business revenue, but my link still applies either way since they're inextricably linked.

Yeah always harder to remediate, but itā€™s where the whole country is. Honestly, the most difficult thing isnā€™t the ground work. Itā€™s the initiative and vision, political will, and willingness to push back against car-centric design so many people are just accustomed to.

America wasnā€™t designed exclusively for cars until the 50ā€™s. It happened because of car manufacturer/political corruption, suburban white flight, racism, the FHA of ā€˜56 and carbrains like Robert Moses. Some states and cities have realized what a colossal fuckup that was and began investing in pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and reducing car dominance decades ago. Some have begun more recently. New Hampshire hasnā€™t gotten the memo at all.

Itā€™s truly remarkable that you have yet to admit you massively overstepped and overreacted and apologize. You keep dancing around that reality with ā€œletā€™s move onā€. Maybe you havenā€™t noticed, but there is no moving on until thereā€™s contrition. But keep on digging my man, this could reach legendary Reddit status
