The conversation about mental health surrounding this story would be so less frustrating if society applied it consistently.
Look at the tone around the stories of the black woman in Brockton and the homeless white woman who nearly killed her kid by abandonment. The media and society took a tone of condemnation. But this triple-murderer gets the kid gloves, and we all know why.
Reminds me of that Patrice O'Neal bit about Natalee Holloway.

Or maybe this, instead of building new lines, we should maintain the ones we have.

I have an idea to fix it. Let's build another Green Line branch somewhere!

Except for politicians. A few old Democrats, DINOs, and too many GOPers are dragging their feet.

I respectfully disagree. The Feds wouldn't touch that. All other states with legalization have regulators that are heavily involved with overseeing the operations of and collecting taxes from marijuana sales.
With how broad the Controlled Substances Act and Federal Money Laundering Statues are, you could technically charge every state with a legal regulated market right now. All state marijuana tax revenues are technically laundered.
The Fed already gave this OK under Obama, through the introduction of the Cole Memo (by the DOJ), which was a major policy shift indicating USDOJ would not enforce those laws against MRBs operating in compliance with state regulations and a set of "Priorities" (e.g. no sales to minors). While Trump's DOJ rescinded that (it was non-bindimg anyway), the DOJ as a department stated they would continue their non-enforcement approach.
I hate politics, but the fact is that GOP "politician" support for marijuana has been weak (but I know lots of conservative stoners), there are plenty of GOP in the NH Legislature, and you can't run an end around via ballot measure like we did here in MA.

It depends on what you dislike more: snow or cold. Granted I only did one winter in Chicago, but the numbers back it up, that there's less snow but more cold.

We're talking about a 4% increase only on the dollars over a million. So if you made $2 million, $40,000 more. Overall a 2% increase in that example.
The quality of life difference those dollars make at that level is negligible.
If you want to bitch about taxes, let's start with the gas tax.
