Faro for sale at the Weirs

C'mon--All of us, whether Trump supporters or critics, should be able to agree that he has made it much more difficult to hire foreign workers

I don't agree with that, but I'm not aware of detailed knowledge on that but I believe Gov Sununu was trying to raise the limit from 33000 to 40000. Maybe not the exact numbers. Local kids want "career related" internships, often at no pay, not practical experience retail/resort jobs. Kids now take loans instead of "working their way" through college. Easy, but bad choice, and their parents let them do it. My kids paid their loans off and they surely won't vote for Pocahontas and loan forgiveness, nor will I.

Of course you don't, but, in addition to policy, the climate he has created around immigration and foreigners has had an impact on more than just workers. Just one example: my (former) summer school program lost two separate international programs--South America and China--because both are worried about the relations between countries. Those were half of the program, which led to, get this, American kids being laid off from their camp staff positions.

There are also real questions about the decline in tourism, the H1-B visa for educated/tech workers, and the late spring addition of H1-B visas too late for many businesses.

A few years ago, the Half Moon pizza shop at the Weirs was run entirely by Russian students--is that the case? (It didn't make their pizza any better or their prices less criminal, by the way).

And there you have it, just blame Trump. According to this article, that’s not the case: https://cis.org/Huennekens/Latest-Tr...erican-Workers

So I get it now...it’s ALL Trump’s fault!

The Dive parking at the pier = Trump’s fault
No wake Zone violators = Trump’s fault
Farm Island development = Trump’s fault
New 53’ yacht on lake = Trump’s fault
People not wearing PFD’s = Trump’s fault
Huge floating rafts = Trump’s fault
No fried clams at Pop’s = Trump’s fault
Entitled punk parking on neighbor’s dock without permission = Trump’s fault
Lousy restaurant food = Trump’s fault
Fast boats = Trump’s fault
Slow wake surfing boats = Trump’s fault
Big waves = Trump’s fault
Mega mansions on lake = Trump’s fault
Drop in loon population = Trump’s fault
Rock bass = Trump’s fault
E-Coli at Weirs beach = Trump’s fault
Long waits for any type of contractor = Trump’s fault
Warm beer = Trump’s fault

Wow, no wonder the left hates him - can you blame them!

Did you really just cite The Center for Immigration Studies as an objective, reliable source?! Define: confirmation bias.

Not my fault - Trump made me do it. So why don’t you provide a link to a “non-biased” article that supports your point?

Take your pick. Though this was about your source and point, as mine was specific to my industry and experiences, but whatevs, right? I added a second image, so you know what logical fallacy you committed in addition to confirmation bias.

“Confirmation bias”....I have to remember that one. And you claim Time Magazine and Bloomberg are not biased?

There are 8 sources there, and if you search you'll find it's the reality--local business owners have also posted about the difficulty in the past.

Listen, I'm not being snarky because I enjoy it, but confirmation bias is a real thing that's affecting America (the world?) and Americans' abilities to have real conversation. When someone posts "Pocahontas" or an obviously biased article/source, any real potential in that discussion is immediately destroyed because it's immediately not open-minded. I, too, am at risk for confirmation bias, but I try my absolute best to be aware of it.

That being said, the Lakes Region is struggling big time with employment--Red Hill Dari opened late with limited hours, Faro just closed, the AT&T store closed, The Bob House and Canoe almost always have tables they can't sit, etc. etc. We really need to start having serious conversations about solutions.

That’s all well & good. My point was that these knee-jerk reactions to blame Trump for EVERYTHING have no basis in reality. Forgot all this stuff, go out in the boat, grab a cold drink and have a great day on the water!

On that, we can agree. Cheers!

The discussion topic maybe one of many restaurants and service related businesses need to reassess. Does one need to open a 300 seat location? Their are many examples of local establishments in the area that seat small numbers and are very successful. The lake region population is changing and the local businesses must adapt or close

Tilton -- I always take your (inside) info as genuine & fact based.

Now spill it ….. WHO bought it and give us some of the details of what to expect ……. and most importantly - WHEN will it reopen !
I'm tired of hunting around for a new spot

Facts are nowhere near as much fun as rumors and speculation, at least until the transfer is recorded. I'm hoping for a lobster specialty venue.

[Phantom]

TiltonBB --- SOOOO What's the story ?

It's been over a month now ……….. any update? Is it truly sold ?

Inquiring minds (and hungry stomach's) need to know the details --

Who bought it?
What style of food?
When will it re-open?

and anything else you might have uncovered
