Reply to comment by MissorNoob in Want passenger rail in Manchester? Make your voice heard by PurpleSubtlePlan

I don't want my tax dollars to be put into a project that is a black hole for money. A rail line in NH will NEVER pay for itself and you're a fool if you think it will. It's not something that should be subsidized by taxpayers.

If you can't see the benefit of having a commuter rail in a state devoid of public transport, irrespective of its profitability, then I think you must just be biased. I don't care if it makes money. That's not what it's for. The point is to provide a service. It lightens the load on our highways. Drives commerce around its stops. Provides a cheaper alternative to traveling by car.

Not everything has to be profit-driven. Lose that mindset.

Sorry but money rules the world and there’s no way that’s changing any time soon. No one is entitled to anyone else’s labor or money.

Then live off the grid. The roads you use, the electricity you use, the police, fire department...hell, even the food you buy are subsidized by taxpayer money. You can't pick and choose. It sounds like you just want to complain and be hypocritical. This is the system you live in. You are a part of it.

It’s illegal to live off the grid. I would if I could without the threat of imprisonment 🤷🏼‍♀️
