Unfortunately, I think what's going to happen is that whatever measly amount of jobs are created through these new pro-business policies, are going to be offset and probably overshadowed by the jobs lost due to decreased tourism from out-of-state because people realize we've been taken over by idjits and want to stay the fuck away.

Actually, what's going to happen is that everyone over the age of 20 in the service sector is going to be fired, so that their kids can go work for less pay.

Yup. The Repub spag tried this "lower than minimum wage, but not in the illegal way" thing with waitresses here in Oregon this last election session.

"It just doesn't make sense that waitresses get paid the highest average wage in the country here in Oregon and also get to have Tips" Fuck off, ass.

Maine has highest rate of people in treatment for Oxycontin addiction
State has 8 times national average for residents in treatment, Vermont next highest

BRUNSWICK, Maine — It was yet another pharmacy robbery in the small town of Sanford, Maine, where a woman claiming to have a gun said she would shoot if she didn't get the prescription painkiller OxyContin.

It was also a picture of how Maine is now on the front lines of a U.S. prescription drug epidemic the Obama Administration compares to the crack cocaine crisis of the 1980s.

Maine, the New England state better known for its striking coastline and wilderness, has the country's highest rate of residents in treatment to kick OxyContin, the brand name for oxycodone, and has suffered one of the nation's biggest spikes in pharmacy robberies.

The highly addictive opiate has been blamed for a rash of drug store break-ins by desperate addicts and drug dealers who hawk the valuable pills on the black market, authorities say.

One 80-milligram tablet of OxyContin, sometimes called "OC" or "hillbilly heroin," fetches up to $100 on the street.

OxyContin is the opiate-derived analgesic oxycodone made by Purdue Pharma. A generic version of oxycodone became available in 2004.

Last week's CVS pharmacy holdup in Sanford was the fourth drug store robbery in the southern Maine town in roughly a year. It came months after a man brandishing a machete in Rockland, Maine, demanded that a Rite Aid hand over oxycodone, some of which he immediately gobbled inside the store before six officers with guns drawn surrounded him.

"Maine has a serious prescription drug abuse problem, and oxycodone and OxyContin are the two most sought-after prescription drugs," said Sanford Police Chief Thomas Connolly. "It leads to a whole universe of issues."

Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

This has been happening in San Diego, too.  Dudes are knocking over pharmacies in grocery stores to get oxy.

I like how they call Sanford a "small town" when it's one of the biggest cities in Maine. :lulz:

But yeah, this won't come as a surprise to anyone who's lived there. Goddamn junkies can't even be junkies for real drugs.

Maine's a great state to live in if you don't like living around a lot of people.  We tend to be pretty spread out.

Yeah, there's only 10 cities in all of Maine with over 20,000 people.

Portland, Lewiston, Bangor, Biddeford, Auburn, Saco, Augusta, Sanford, Waterville, South Portland. That's it. Having more than 5,000 people qualifies as being one of the larger towns in the state.
