Most Patriotic State
Here's something NH can certainly be proud of!...

I find this extremely hard to believe.

If it's any measure - sure seems like NH has a ton of vehicles on the road sporting vet plates comparatively speaking. As a general rule those that have served, especially overseas for any period of time, tend to have a greater sense of patriotism.
VT in at #3 is a bit of a head scratcher! |
" They’re a company in the business of getting people signed up for credit cards (which I guess you can describe, kinda sorta, as “helping people stay on top of their finances”), and they’re producing these state ranking “reports” as a way to lure content-thirsty reporters into writing articles that mention WalletHub and perhaps even link to WalletHub’s website."

Most Patriotic State?

That said, recently I arrived at a humble neighborhood near and south of Rochester, and was very impressed with the quiet and neatness. As to patriots :patriot: the pollsters must be talking sports, as a New Hampshire poll from yesterday has put a Socialist ahead of everyone else. :eek2: |

NH and Patriotism
Here's kind of a fitting story I experienced yesterday....Coming home to Gilford late yesterday afternoon in the pouring rain, I saw a small American flag in the middle of the route 11 bypass between Laconia and Gilford. It must have blown off someones motorcycle or similar...anyway, the person in front of me also spotted it and immediately pulled over, got out of his pickup and proceeded to pick that flag up off the ground in the pouring rain and bring it back to his truck.
Needless to say I beeped my horn and gave him a thumbs up!! You have to wonder how many people would have just driven by or over it... It made me feel good to know that SOME people still have respect for our flag and what it stands for and also made me think of this post. As an fyi, this person had NH plates on his truck... Dan |
I live in Gilmanton (Corners). Every Memorial Day, the FD puts out flags on all the poles and they stay till after the 4th. A nice reminder.

Within a Few Hours' Drive...
Guess which states make up the least of our patriotic fervor:

That's an important, real world consideration as we start to age out. The lack of top tier medical care in the lakes region could deter some from choosing to retire there, notwithsanding the beauty of the lakes and the surrounding environment. |
Don't mess with Texas ...... and don't mess with believ'n this here list.
Have you ever been to Texas? Texas with 28-million residents is #46 on the patriotism list, and New Hampshire with 1.35-million residents is #1 on the list. Is hard to believe? What New Hampshire has is 400 state reps and 24 state senators who are basically unpaid and work as volunteers, plus a long history of local town volunteers which gets factored into the ranking for patriotism, and helps to make NH #1 according to this list. |
It's all BS!

"The metrics included veterans per 1,000 civilian adults, active-duty military personnel per 100,000 civilian adults, share of adults who voted in 2016 presidential election and volunteer hours per resident." What part of this is "BS" as you say?? |
Both #2 Vermont:patriot: with 652,500 residents and #1 New Hampshire:patriot: with 1,350,000 residents score big because these four criteria get divided into a smaller population than all the other states.:patriot::patriot::patriot:
Is the same as selling one item at a loss, but making big money with volume sales by selling thousands of items also at a loss! .... :eek: |
I would guess the metrics are fine. They are simple statistics. The only area that is debatable is the "weighting" of each statistic. The authors had the privilege of determining which statistics they thought deserved to be weighted more heavily than others.
For what it's worth, living in California, and having travelled the states, I think New Hampshire has a lot of patriotism and much more concern for the state's health (and those can end up being different interests I suppose). If this was a forum in California, I'd get some push back saying there's a lack of concern and patriotism, but, other than San Diego, and perhaps a little in Sacramento, there aren't too many who care for where the state has gone and is, and patriotism is there but in small doses. If it was a contest, I'd bet on N.H. The thing I struggle with is there appears to be a lot of anger about where N.H. has gone. But I don't live there year-round so I have no right to judge. Still, all I see is a beautiful lake and incredible quiet, majestic beauty. I take my family back every year to the Lake because, for us, it's the best place on the planet. |

I think people are confusing patriotic and politics, not one in the same.

Selling at a loss is selling at a loss so selling one item at a loss is far better in this scenario. Volume sales at a loss exponentially increases the loss times the number of items sold. This is different than volume sales with a smaller profit margin per item versus trying to make a large profit on smaller total sales numbers. Then again I'm not a business guy... |

Certain retail outlets are in a unique position to where they can take the chance customers will, since they are there, buy more than that one item. |
In grocery, loss leaders are put in place to generate traffic. Either an incremental purchase or a "bait and switch".

Confusing Patriotism and Politics?

:patriot: :patriot: But at last night's debate? Not one. :mad: |

It's funny how some narrow minded people look at red as being patriotic and blue as not? :confused:
