I know the solution... More immigrants! /s
I know that Atlanta is sending its finest Somalians there as well.
Politically, the state’s rabid progressives in the legislature are pouring salt on the wounds. If you need an example, go watch some of Sen. Dill’s committee meetings. These people are nuts and shouldn’t be surprised at the situation they’re in.
There’s plenty of Somalis sitting around complaining about their lack of more free stuff.
First order of business get rid of these woke politicians then we can talk
Oh, there’s a way.
But Maine wwould first have to get rid of RCV, RCV-enabled voting machines, early voting, and mail-in voting.
Well, all I need to know is Maine has places like, Frozen Moosebutt and Frozehis Buttoff. That alone keeps me here in lovely Cochise County, Arizona.
Half Mainers on welfare.other half like my family work very hard
I spend time there. With a FAR LEFT Governor, a legislature full of “F”ing SOCIALIST/COMMIES that tax the crap out of its residents and busiensses, locks you down, masks your face, starves small business, removes “work for welfare” requirements, lets the PUC shoves huge electricity hikes up the citizen’s asses, floods the states with ILLEGALS AND PAYS FOR THE “F”ERS, pushes WOKE BULL SHIT IN EVERY PUBLIC SCHOOL.... what do you expect.. what could possibly go wrong?
They need to get their housing problem under control, too, but have made
de themselves a haven for the homeless by boosting services for them.
Also, AirBNB poured lots of money into fighting an initiative on the ballot in Portland that would regulate AirBNB properties some and it got defeated, so the housing shortage in Portland continues as people buy up houses simply for vacation rental.
Is there any data on the number of employables among the unemployed who are staying out of the work force because of the government’s largess???
>> Maine needs to get more adults into the workforce and create affordable housing options for them
Substitute “The State” for the word Maine and that tells you all you need to know about the REAL root of the problem. And not just in Maine.
It needs to beg Congress for more global warming. :)
“Workforce housing” is one of the creepiest concepts around. (Thanks, UN.)
It means building hobbit huts for the serfs.
All that is required is to pull back on government building regulations: not more government, taxpayer funding and an increasingly tiered economy.
Pay more. That was easy.
What kind of left-wing gaslighting is this?
NOTE TO ALL STATES:
You can ‘create’ all the ‘affordable housing’ you can think of—————
You can offer tax incentives of every stripe to businesses—————
IF you refuse to CONTROL crime & criminals-—
You are wasting $$$$$ & time.
You cannot pay me enough to live where I am not safe.
Maine’s problem is rooted deeply in its liberalisms.
Welfare and government payouts to vote Democrat, AKA Socialism, results in the same predictable outcome.
People don’t want to work, when they can stay home and enjoy free time and families. Same thing happened with the Pilgrims, they wouldn’t work when it was a collective, but as soon as the were given their own plots of land, suddenly there was food and progress.
Stop voting democrat, start forcing people to work if they want to eat. Then suddenly, everyone is pro jobs and industry.
Golly. It is as if all the imported Somalis aren’t willing to work since they can live a life of luxury courtesy of the tax payer.
