Let's just end daylight savings tho. We don't need to do all this complicated shit.

I hired the guy who replaced our roof off a sign like that. I feel like I might be the first person in recorded history to actually call those numbers.

I'd suggest the graduate office. They're likely the best resource. I taught a few adjunct classes at UNE prior to the pandemic and at least with them it was the best way to get information. I'd assume they'd have comparable tools and resources to UNE.

I don't smoke but I've read advanced tips about things like "decks" or "outside" I'd have to research this topic to be sure they exist but might be worth a look.

It's cause and effect. If you do nothing then nothing changes. If you invest into an economy then it changes. One of the best ways to do so is re skilling people. Jobs follow talented work forces. It's not this over night change.
And climate change is directly tied to overfishing. Or more broadly the over consumption of resources. We didn't cause climate change by consuming too little.

Not at all. I'm still arguing the same point. For those in the back
Commercial fishing is not sustainable for the long term. Our economy is reliant on it. Our elected officials need to make policies to help people other than "bad fishermen, stop". In that same breath, we need drastic and immediate action to preserve our planet.
You put me in a room with 192 people or something and say "train them to do different jobs". I could probably get you there, my background is in market research/training and HR. But you get me 10,000 people I'd need help. That's reasonable for like... anyone ? Thats why we hire the government. To solve those bigger picture issues. To research and resolve the issues. To go "eeehh well I don't see good quality engineering jobs... might as well fish to extinction" is just silly

I mean I'll be frank. If I had the silver bullet I'd on commercials every 17 seconds hoping you voted for me, not on reddit.
But it really comes from a place of gradual change and replacement. Just like those farmers in the 1800s couldn't imagine working on factories we likely can't imagine the "next big thing".

One company seems fine at growing a monopoly if nothing else.

I'm not really suggested hand out magic ✨️ wands and we all get new jobs and fiber internet and whatever else. I'm saying if we invest in our future eventually it'll be a better place.
Above I point out we should invest in jobs for the fishermen. If you put money/time/incentives into programs it'll become a net positive. If you ignore it eventually the bottom falls out.

Oh. I read the article. I'm just speaking in more broad terms. It's something that generally concerns me that fish are beginning to disappear and that directly threatens people's livelihoods. Maybe we as a society should do something before then.
Same goes for all of nature really.

I mean we have the capability for most other industries from hostility, medical, insurance, trades, automotive, etc. Just the same as other states. The issue is we just have a state that focuses on hospitality and retail.

It's pretty spooky how much we've over fished the entire planet and devastated ecosystems. We need to stop it so my daughter has a place to live. In that same breath a lot of people place their entire livelihood into these industries. So government intervention is badly needed. Be it a short term payment to the fishermen or offering them free or discounted training for trades/college.
I'll liken this to the industrial revolution. At one point in our nation's history most of our people preformed agrarian work and then in short order it moved to like 10% or less because of factories. We need to take care of the people producing food but we need to help prepare them for if/when the industries dry up forever.
This isn't new. It's been a long time coming.

You'll find it's the same as maine really. The southern part has it all. Otherwise good luck, especially in the lakes region. The greater Portland area has more businesses and more opportunities than most of NH. And really the out of control property taxes in NH make it a deal breaker. Honestly both places don't make it easy for young professionals.

I left nh for this reason. If I didn't have family I'd be gone from new england without thinking. The WFH thing got me a decent job but that's a band aid. I still live in a town allergic to change.

She's somewhere between incompetent and a liar on some policies but she's done a lot of good. Especially in COVID. We've had one of the best outcomes out of any state. She's honestly a really good choice.

I mean it's kind of like the EU with the web privacy stuff. CA has one of the largest economies in the world. Companies want to do business as effectively as possible. They're not building regional variants of everything.
Just because science or products come from somewhere else doesn't make it bad. To the original point of this post we're kind of over fishing the ocean en masse. We need to take care of the place.
