Like I said, Christmas week and President’s week are easily 50/hour. Along with leaf peeper season. This fall was wild! Unfortunately I’m not making shit right now because there’s no snow so it sucks… but a normal winter season would be at least 30 an hour. That’s in cash. I have a 401k so my paycheck isn’t really anything but I’m not sure what else you want to argue about

From bottom to top: ski socks. Then for pants, base layer. Either moisture wicking leggings or long underwear of some kind. You'll tuck this into your socks and have all of this inside your boots so make sure it's not too bumpy or bulky. Depending on temp and the warmth of your snow pants, bring a second baggier pair of pants to put over the base layer. Sweats or pajama pants do the trick. These outer pants and your snow pants will get pulled down over the outside of your boots. Up top, a moisture wicking long sleeve or turtle neck. And again, depending on the temp and the warmth of your jacket, you may want a second sweater over that, I like a quarter zip fleece. If it's really cold, you may want a baggy hoodie over all of this. Then your jacket. I'm a big advocate for layering on your hands too. I usually do a thin pair of texting/driving gloves under a pair of mittens. Mittens will always be warmer than gloves. Then on your head, bring a couple neck warmer/balaclava options and see what feels best. These are going to get wet with sweat, snot, spit (yeah it's gross) so have a backup. Also consider a thin hat for under your helmet.

Businesses will just adapt and automate needing less workers. At some point there won’t be any jobs at all and a whole lot of unemployed people. $40k/yr is a whole lot more than zero. Markets will correct from the whole pandemic deal.

Keep believing your delusions but it ain’t ever happening. Feelings do not equal reality. I stared working in high school and worked my way up from minimum wage over a long long time. Not born with money and am not “rich” now. I lived in a lot of shitty apartments and drove beater cars for many years. I also understood that you gotta work your way up to a reasonable living….AND that I was not entitled to it just for being born.

Fix your home state. Stay and fight. All you are doing is excersizing privilege leaving those worse off behind. We don’t need more liberal artists in Vermont. Sure you will fit in with the other 300k of them, but we are past saturation level. Better to try to make a better world where you are then run from it.
