A Thousand Hours of Training to Braid Hair? And Other Reasons Government Sucks (Manch Talk 04/12/23)
Incentives matter but occupational licensing creates poverty by making it harder for people to make ends meet. It’s not Rocket Science, but you might need to go get a special certification to fertilize your lawn, even if you have a PhD in Chemistry!
National divorce is in the news. Carla ponders why we don’t avoid problems and simply let voters decide every 10 or 20 years whether they want to stay united or not. Tammy takes us on an in-depth journey through the current New Hampshire budget, especially relating to education funding. And, wow, the next Mayor of Manchester just got a 47% raise!

From NBC: “One of the early experiments of the Free State project was the Free Town Project, a libertarian migration to the small community of Grafton, NH. And with the libertarians….allegedly came the bears? Or did they? This episode explores the controversies a small town navigated as they became the focus of this libertarian political trial run.”
Have you dropped some balls recently? Carla feels your pain, and shares a few tips from her personal life to help you get back on track. Also in this episode, a brief overview of the new NBC docuseries about the Free State movement, banned documentaries, and some upcoming events.

The first 7 episodes of NBC Boston’s docuseries on the Free State movement is out! Check out these short, 13 minute episodes, and then feel free to drop me questions below!
A few things you should be wondering about while watching:
Who funds Granite State Progress? (Soros/and…?)
When did Zandra Rice Hawkins moved to New Hampshire to spread socialist programs? (After me)
Why won’t ZRH allow Free Staters to attend their “public” events?
How come NH public schools cost double ($18,000+) what private schools do ($9,000)?
What is more democratic than putting hard questions to voters?
Isn’t it GREAT that Free Staters are inspiring so many people to get involved as is required for good local government?
What’s up with Carla’s conspiracy theories this week? Are the aliens landing? What happened in Ohio? Are we in a cyberwar? (Mos def.) And more!
This week, we start with Carla’s latest conspiracy theory… have a HAARP, then delve into the supply and demand of homelessness, and more!
NBC Boston has been working on a docuseries about the Free State Movement for more than half a year. The trailer dropped.
Take a look HERE.
My initial thoughts are THIS LOOKS AWESOME! Can’t wait to see the rest. Of course, they will attempt to paint us as weirdos and troublemakers, but many people are actually looking for answers to the issues of the day, and I believe those people will see what we are doing for what it is: A SOLUTION to a problem that has grown too large to solve in any other way!
While politicians pay lip service to “reforms” and “changes,” we ALL know nothing is changing, improving, or happening… In fact, things are getting worse and worse. We are getting poorer, people are suffering, and the government is rankly incompetent, and, at this stage, has possibly actually tipped to being EVIL.
As I watched the trailer, I was also thinking, who are these naysayers? Besides Nick Sarwark, who has probably put the final nail in his coffin as a Free Stater with this–he should switch to the Democrats–I recognized Zandra Rice Hawkins (the one with the beanie on the playground) and Brodie Deshaies (an outspoken critic of the proposed Constitutional amendment to peacefully leave the Union and become an independent country; he was voted out in 2022).
Ironically, Zandra Rice Hawkins, who works for an organization called Granite State Progress that is funded by progressive billionaire George Soros, moved to New Hampshire after I did, and openly admits she wants New Hampshire to become “more progressive.” When one hears people like her criticizing the Free State movement, you must ask yourself, who is actually trying to change the culture of the LIVE FREE OR DIE state? I contend it is people like her, not us.
I once attended a public meeting Zandra hosted, and gave the following speech in response to hours of inaccurate and propagandist trash-talking from her. What a monster I am!
Right-to-Know activist and stellar human Laurie Ortolano joins Carla for this week’s edition of TCGS. We delve into some history of her cases, and what the open government landscape currently looks like.
