Take the murder laws off the books then. Only criminals follow them after all

I would think so. People need to really push back against this as fast as possible.

There was a snow clearing bill proposed a few years ago but it was such a clueless mess that it was basically beaten to death and buried in an undisclosed location. ¯\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯

Is it overreact to every single bit of proposed legislation season again already?

Does this mean if I have a gun in my bedside table, I have to store it disassembled?

There's a really good novel set in NEK about a single black father that comes to town. It's set in the 20th century, but it sounds like things have not changed so much.

There is also a movie based on the novel, but the novel is much better. Howard Frank Mosher novels chronicle Vermont of yesteryear. I read all of them when I first arrived in Vermont as they resonate with the present.

How do you explain the racists of other colors then? I know plenty of Asians who don't like blacks. Same with Latinos. There are blacks that hate White people. Lots who hate Asians. I don't think I've ever seen as many assaults on Asians by blacks as much as I have in the past couple of years. There are even black people who don't like darker people. Plenty of bias when it comes to light skin vs dark skin in the black and Latino community.
I've heard white guys complaining about blacks taking all the jobs too. I think it was Archie bunker....

I saw a truck parking lot at a business recently that had a 'plow' an exactly the height of the box, so all the snow got shaved off automatically when they left the lot. Brilliant idea. With technology now, one could even be made to automatically adjust to the height of thar particular truck.

Also you wouldn’t understand if you don’t have black children that racism is a HUGE factor in moving your family from a melting pot to a white state.

Now if caught, That's a ticket in Vermont.
Going to cost you $105 for obstructed view, plus the officer will have you clear the rest of it off before they relase you from the stop.
Source; It happened to a co-worker, we laughed at her lame complaints. Yes, they should be out arresting bank robbers, however, you made yourself available... ¯\_( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ)_/¯

This is apart of the research process. The job starts at the end of august so we are making sure this is the right choice. He also plans to move down before to make sure he likes the job.
However when you have the second whitest state in the USA…it’s not a bad question to ask how far the racism stretches when your demographic is 1.2% people of color. If you wanna downvote, go ahead but this is how people learn the truth about states. From people who actually live there.
He could still decline the role if it was too bad and I don’t think it’s really an issue to ask real people if the racism is like Michigan racism or if it goes deeper since y’all don’t have many black people.

Thank God we are addressing gun control issues that the rest of the Country is ignoring. It’s sad and sickening to the victims of the (seemingly) weekly mass shootings that we aren’t doing more.

Thanks! That’s great advice and we totally don’t want to commute far but killington is way too expensive for sure to live directly in but we are looking into surrounding areas that aren’t horribly far. I read the winters were icy and I know mud season is gonna be a new adventure. I’m used to ice but the plows here are abundant so it’s not usually a problem. Thanks for the insight! This helps a ton

Thanks! I know we need snow tires and I definitely did a lot of research on the differences. We have super icy roads where I am but at least there’s less traffic lol we plan to utilize snow tires for sure though

Yeah I’ve been seeing a lot about the housing issue. My husband already has a job lined up and it’s 3x his Michigan salary which is why we’re moving. Luckily I work from home already so we have the money part taken care of. My husband is moving down first to stay with his friend and find a house. Definitely can’t afford killington houses but we’re looking in the 200-300k range

Moved here from Southeastern Michigan in Aug 2020, and I would move back in a heartbeat. VT is for people who enjoy making 12 bucks an hour and being poor, or it is full of rich fucks from NY,NJ. It's a struggle to afford living here, and best of luck finding somewhere to live near Killington, the hotels are homeless shelters because of the lack of VT housing.
