One of the five most useless States, up there with Idaho and Nebraska.
This State is composed of the same mix of rich suburbs and small towns as most New England States but without the things that make them interesting : the cool liberal lifestyle of Vermont, coasts of Maine, and ... cities. Nashua and Manchester are really big towns.
Most things people in NH are proud of are either better in Massachusetts or actually in Massachusetts. Should this southern neighbour dissapear, New Hampshire would probably beg for (and be denied) entry into Canada, as its autonomy in most sectors (major seaport, industry, services, agriculture, and culture) is simply nonexistent.
Its main export is middle-aged white people who play golf.
Indeed, New Hampshire has the ethnic composition of a northwestern State (99% white) and its diversity is concentrated in 8 streets, 5 of them in suburban Manchester. Blacks and Latinos will be checked for drugs and guns every couple of miles on the (only) highway (worth mentioning), just to be sure.
The fact that many residents want it to stay that way should bring ample proof that this State is going nowhere.
To be fair, NH has its good sides, especially for retired middle class people looking for an affordable house or a vacation spot : nice nature, absolute lack of danger and noise, and polite people. Amazingly, the existence of Florida has saved this place from its natural role as the Northeast's giant retirement home.

Kid 1 : Oh no, my parents are taking me to Indiana again this summer.
Kid 2 : Don't complain. Mine are taking me to New Hampshire.
Kid : Thanks, I feel ... better.

The state where everybody is a pothead, yet marijuana is illegal.
The state where everybody owns a gun, yet there is hardly any gun violence.
The state where you aren't an alcoholic if you don't drink during the day.
The state where you find used needles in a field of sunflowers.
The state where idiots from the south get lost on the woods/drown because they think they are outdoorsmen.

Yeah NH's pretty... pretty dull, pretty boring, pretty depressing, pretty cold, pretty much not worth living in.
New Hampshire is boring boring boring boring and depressing.

A great state to have a "summer place". New Hampshire is a haven for the wealthy to hide from tax obligations. In order to live in NH and have children who speak in a polysyllabic fashion you have to live in a moneyed town or send them to a private school. New Hamphire educational funding has nothing to do with equity of opportunity (research the Claremont debacle). If you are white, rich, and don't give a damn about the "lower class" (those who clear less than $100,000 a year)then welcome aboard! If you don't qualify for the "club" please don't put yourself or your children through the humiliation of trying to scratch out a living here.
"I truly enjoy New Hampshire, don't you Lovey? However, I believe that I saw someone whose skin is darker than a brown paper bag in our gated community. Have the help call in the state police and the National Guard."

Many think New Hampshire is way out in the middle of nowhere, but most of New Hampshire looks exactly like Massachusetts or Connecticut. Southern NH is home to many Boston commuters as a sub 60 min commute is common. Also libertarians have no power here, as it is commonly believed.
New Hampshire- a place where people who don’t want to be associated with Massachusetts yet still want to be in a state like Massachusetts live.
