It’s just weird how they keep lights on and were doing outside work at one point. I don’t buy the staffing thing. PPP?

I heard a rumor that it was going to become a KFC Taco Bell combo, but that may just be a fever dream

Staffing more than likely, they’ve been like that for quite some time.

Mostly the only thing separating places like Athens or Weathersfield from southern Appalachia are the accents.

No where near as good as Cockadoodle. But even Cockadoodle isn't as good as it used to be.

Guess they picked up the Ray’s business model.

You'd be surprised at the political language coming out of the Republican majority in West Virginia (I grew up in West Virginia, and have bounced back and forth between there and Vermont over the years). The leadership in the House, Senate, and Administration is very pro-solar, pro-renewable, pro-all of the above. It turns out when multinationals say they won't locate factories, or offices, or data centers in your state unless they have access to renewables, that that leaves an impression. As a result over the last couple legislative sessions, several pro-renewables bills have become law. That said, you can't go attacking the heritage (which would be equivalent to attacking the maple and dairy industries in Vermont). But diversification is widely desired and supported.

Well at least we know you're aware this is an unpopular opinion.

Group those into "local economic struggles" and they're similar. Perhaps the thought of similarity between the states offends you? Which comes off as supercilious.

I’m only ever suggested this subreddit bc I’m part of the WV one.. it’s ok. WV is a nice state, which has its flaws, much like VT (I’m assuming)
It’s okay OP, Reddit didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.

It's been something like four years now, and I still have them coming. They did such a good job, I am ok with a $50 a month spend to never have to worry about it again. Bugs? Call them and they come fix it. Mice? Call them and they come fix it.

The Orkin Man rocks! We noticed fleas and turned out mice were bringing them in. I signed a one year contract with Orkin but after 3 months, the mice and the fleas were gone. The first visit included an inspection that identified the entry points where mice were coming in.

Reply to comment by HappilyhiketheHump in Former St. Albans Officer Acquitted of Assault in Taser Case by Large-Frame-6345
The video does paint a different story.
It sounds more like a case of the prosecutor not wanting a conviction and doing nothing to pursue a conviction. They know who the defense will call but do nothing to get their own witness to disagree. They do t even call the guy who was tazed to the stand.
It is very clear they wanted the cop to get off because they need to work with them and we’re grudgingly prosecuting a case they had no interest in winning.

Mountainous state shedding population? Sounds about right. Only difference is there's a hell of a lot more tourism and money here.

What's the proportion of inter-familial "relations" in VT vs WV? Isn't that the statistic everyone comparing these 2 states needs to start with? I'm honestly curious if, or how much, of a difference there is.

Try a flat, open field (though please, not a farmer’s field meant for plantings) or a well groomed trail. For a fee, there’s the Woodstock Country Club..tho that may be too far north for you. Ask around. Some town-maintained trails are available…though you may have company. Check w a CofC or tourism website.

It's a subreddit devoted to a state, I'd say it's pretty damn similar
