I’d be a little surprised if it was a dog. Found these on our property and we don’t have a dog. It’s possible the neighbors dog came through but the pattern didn’t indicate a dog running through

Our footprint. The tracks were in a straight line. Digit replacing.

I know people keep saying "this is happening everywhere", but VT has the unique problem of not only having high COL, but we also don't have any type of housing. We can't get people staffed for probably 1/3rd of the job force here because they literally can't survive here between lack and cost of housing.

If wv wasn't as commercialized it would be a dead ringer for VT.

Apps do this all the time for me with football as well. They’re like “oh you like Liverpool? How about the arsenal subreddit/instagram??”

I just started a couple months ago as an RCA. I don’t work 13/1. I get one or two days off a week. Depends on what I want. We are a smaller office with 3 rural routes. Also, I trained in White River Junction.

That’s fair. I do feel strongly. Yes.
That image of George Floyd’s death is etched not just in my brain but in my heart and it changed me so that I am now more of an advocate.

They honestly don't need to give a reason, and in today's political climate, it's in their best interest not to.
And you're hoping that they get in legal trouble for NOT signing a document, because if they do not, they are being discriminatory????
Sounds like you've made up your mind: if you don't buy into this declaration and champion it then you're racist and discriminatory. Accurate?

Vermont is the WV of New England, common knowledge.
Small, rural, mountainous, struggling. They've even had a similar program to pay folks to move there, with the similar strife between locals and newcomers.

Don’t forget that high white population percentage. Also mountains 👍🏼

Can confirm they no longer drug test, but it takes about 3 months to get in the door, you get two days off a month (13 days on and then 1 day off), and you need to spend a week in NH or Maine to complete the training. Essentially the best USPS employee is one with no life.

Sounds like you really aren't that great of a person. Maybe you're the problem bub.

I've lived in both. Way more similar than you might think.

I mean, I follow the Cleveland subreddit (my parents and in-laws live there) and reddit keeps telling me "Oh, you like AMERICAN MID-SIZED CITIES? How about Denver? Detroit? St. Louis? New Orleans?"
It's pretty ridiculous.

Maybe it has something to do with what I call Reddit snark?

WV is going to have a boom in popularity once people realize it's still relatively cheap and the state is beautiful.

Are you a mental health professional? Or are you some back woods inbred hick Highgate is known for? Sounds like the latter. Maybe if you got your dick out of your cousin and picked up a book you may learn a thing or two in what mental health really is. Just a thought.🤷♂️

Went camping on a friend's land in WV last year and the landscape is very similar, with a few different plants and bird calls.

We've had spotty service in South Burlington for better than a year. Regular deliveries, then a period of two or three days where there's nothing. Some of you act like the USPS is doing this capriciously. They're not. With reduced staffing AND larger volumes to deliver they're doing the best they can,
And a one-to-one comparison to UPS or FedEx isn't fair. You want to get your important mail -- bills, payments, letters -- through those companies? OK, but be prepared to pay a lot more than you do now.
Something's going on with delivery all across the board. Amazon, for example, dropped most two-day delivery where I live. I get notification from UPS or FedEx that a package will be delivered on a certain day, and it can show up days later.
