As strong or better than your English language skills it would seem.
If you do represent anything uniquely specific to Maine it's the state's worst qualities...

Business entities should be prohibited from owning residential property full stop.
For private citizens, the tax burden for secondary and tertiary residential properties should increase exponentially unless they agree to rent regulation.

We need an aggressive land use tax for seasonal and recreational properties.
This would provide funding for social programs AND encourage those land owners to open up to the rental market.

Not to diminish your insights, but I take it you are relatively young? How much mileage do you have in your journey that you can be so supremely confident in your complete understanding of what you are and are not capable of? Surely you have decades of growth ahead of you, where you will accomplish things you never imagined possible, no?
And while your abilities as you see them now may bring you pride, are they allowing you to earn a comfortable living? It seems you have anxiety over your ability to provide for yourself, and over societie's ability, or willingness to provide FOR you; perhaps your energies would be better invested elsewhere if your current choices have not led to the stability and fulfillment you desire?

Red hot dogs...what are you people, 8 years old?
Evaluate the quality of ingredients and flavor profile. They can look like a turd for all I care, I eat with my mouth.

Sometimes we need to break away from the self-limiting patterns and attitudes created by those we love in order to believe in, and achieve, our OWN potential. The realities that others have trapped themselves in don't need to be ours, even though we might share genes.
Diversify your skillset, break out of your comfort zone, try things you don't think you'll enjoy; learn to be motivated by accomplishing things you never imagined you could.
Stop letting your family, the system and yourself tell you what you CAN'T do.

It's just because that one tough guy at work, who totally probably has a bigger dick than him, makes fun of EVs, so now he has no choice but to incorporate that into his identity so his testicles don't retreat into his body whenever that tough guy is around.

Ignoring your myopic and likely racist resistance to foreign aid; even if we increase corporate tax rates (which we should) the individual marginal tax rate in the US is still one of the lowest among rich 1st world countries.
Anyone over $50k should be paying at least 40% full stop.
Unless you are making less than $9,000 annually you ARE NOT "the little guy" in global terms. Stop whining about your life of privilege.

Or just shut up and pay your taxes because it's good for civilization. This American preoccupation with avoiding taxation and mutal aid is fucking obnoxious...

It is not common and does not grow readily in Maine. There is limited commercial opportunity so effort is focused elsewhere.
If you want it, you're going to have to import it from the south.

Reply to Wagyu steaks? by awmtank
I'd argue wagyu lacks most of the qualities associated with a great steak. It's fine meat, but when I want a great sous vide, reverse seared steak, wagyu doesn't do it for me.
I will take a flank or a picanha any day.
My fav is to take a whole flank, lightly marinated (garlic, salt and soy) and rest it directly on a large bed of rocket hot natural lump charcoal coals. 4-5 minutes, flip, 4-5 more, remove any large bits of charcoal then foil for 10-12 minutes.
Slice and eat until you die.

The one in Augusta is consistently one of the best ranked in the nation. Went their recently and it was the best Denny's I've had to 2 decades. It was ACTUALLY Denny's as remembered.

I assume that also means no beer, wine, bread, antibiotics, soy sauce, cheese, a plethora of medicines, cured meats, coffee, tea, pickles, etc., right?
Make no mistake champ, this IS A FUNGAL planet that we are just lucky enough to live on.

You mean like shaming people for trying to milk some little fucking joy out of a holiday after 3 years of death and disease...
Paper: biodegradable. Cotton wick: Biodegradable. Wax: biodegradable. Sand: Inert. Aluminum dish: Inert.
What are we actually worried about here?! I would rather luminaries than electric Christmas lights strung together with 5 lbs of plastic...
If you're so sure luminaries are bad, make a case for it.
If you have a problem with paper bags I assume your washroom has 3 seashells?
