In 2021, CAI re-branded as Mammoth Tech. [8] In 2022, Mammoth Tech. abruptly closed, laying off more than 500 employees. [9] The company is currently facing a class-action lawsuit for failing to give notice. This includes rent payments, a $1 million judgment to a staffing agency, and another $181,000 decision on a management company. Former pregnant employees have reportedly filed two disability discrimination suits, one settled and one ongoing. [10]
In 2010, Osborne moved to New Hampshire from Ohio as part of the Free State Project. [11] [12]

[15] He has also voted to repeal New Hampshire buffer zone law and against requiring insurance plans that cover maternity benefits to include coverage for emergency or elective abortion services. [15] In 2022, Osborne voted with Democrats to table HB 1477, a bill that would have prohibited abortion upon the detection of a fetal heartbeat. [16]
In June 2022, Osborne proposed that firearms training be taught at every grade level in public schools. [17] He also described efforts to pass gun safety measures at the federal level as "fruity ideas." [18]
Osborne argued for the legalization of cannabis in New Hampshire in a 2023 op-ed titled "Conservative case for cannabis reform". [19]
Osborne holds a PhD in economics from George Mason University. [20] Osborne's children do not attend public school. [21] Osborne's wife, Sharon, is the chair and director of Latitude Learning Resources, a nonprofit offering cross-curricular classes for homeschoolers and other students. [22] [23] [24]
In 2022, web forum posts from Osborne between 2007 and 2011 surfaced. In them, Osborne used racist slurs and sexist comments about women breastfeeding. He also appeared to argue for abolishing age-of-consent laws. [25]
