Pretty sure that person was responding to the person asking why they don't do that in the southwest.

That's actually one of the cutest modern apartment construction drawings I've ever seen. I'd love it if they built more like that--usually they're hideous

Anyone I know with complex issues has had to go to Boston to get competent care. I love this state, and if your health needs are basic and uncomplicated, it's fine, but healthcare here is.. not good.

If it doesn't crash in the next week, I'll be shocked. (Although I've never used it, so I have no personal investment.)

The word 'communism' has been so thoroughly demonized in the US at this point that it doesn't matter what it really stands for--you just can't use that word. It's like how the swastika had a thousand year history of being a religious symbol of piece before the Nazis ruined it. It doesn't matter.. people are still gonna look at it and say 'Nazi'. It doesn't matter that Marx would've been horrified by what the Soviet Union became, that's just what communism means now. Any modern political party with the word 'communist' in it is doomed to failure.
That being said, I've never heard of the Maine Communist Party.
