Have fun living in constant fear of the boogie man because the man on tv said angry words.

No one is asking you to surrender anything. Again, paranoia. This is where you guys always go with this stuff. Take some deep breaths and acknowledge life has a lot of nuance. A discussion about how we might make things safer does not equate to anyone taking your precious little guns from you. Sheesh.

This is no longer true sadly. Post Covid it’s no longer a renters market and everyone wants to move here in the spring/summer time so every listing gets dozens and dozens of applications

Spoiler: >!It does not!<

Imagine being so deranged you’d compare folks who want people to have access to health care with psychopaths that blow up hybrid vehicles in tv ads when they’re not plotting to overthrow our government. But yeah, it’s them lefties who try to encourage you to be less afraid of the boogie man that are the issue.

You live in a very safe community. I’m sorry you live in constant fear.

Or this dude

This will do fucking absolutely nothing that curb crime in Vermont. NOTHING. Stupid liberal bullshit.

Bravo. That is one great post.

Just want to flag that Rutland High School may not be a good fit. If you search, they've been embroiled in a years-long fight over a racist, confederate mascot that has only recently changed because the State Legislature passed a law banning racist mascots. A search of the local news should turn it up! Vt Digger probably covered it if the Rutland paper is behind a paywall.

Lots of dumb people do stupid shit to make a point. But objectively gun crime in VT will not be impacted by these changes. They are just an inconvenience to law abiding people like the dumb ones who open carry an AR in public. Ultimately it’s not that person committing crime, AND the person committing crime isn’t gonna follow the rule. All this does is makes scared liberals (said by a person who strongly supports Bernie and is on the antifa side of the equation) feel good.

My sweet little grandmother always called snow “white shit”. I’m keeping it going Nana!

You're the real MVP. I will second the meter comment: most utilities would love to get you a smart meter for two reasons alone: it's time and risk for a human to check it, mid-winter. If you know hold outs who are worried the government is spying on have silly reasons: smack them upside the head!

Welp, ya convinced me! Thanks for that adult POV kimosabe :)

> California has the strictest restrictions, and their rates of gun violence are among the lowest in the country.

Yet said restrictions failed to prevent those shootings that are the rally cry for more gun control

> Rural Wyoming has the third highest.

Likely due to the influx of CA re-locates to WY :) Or maybe cowboys just like plinking at flatlanders! Oh noes, could happen here! /s

Guy is a dick

NOPE

Bennington to ALB is less than an hour.

Yes. Sadly there's too much ill gotten gain at stake for that to ever happen.

Money is what's preventing it more than it being a bad idea.

Yeah, I'm a Texan, so I'm used to ice. We just stay home for a day or two until the ice melts... I'm guessing I'd be home for more than a day or two up here...

Man, I so wish people in charge would get that message!

Legalize all drugs, eliminate the criminality from the addiction and treat it as the health problem it is.

Make opium (smoke it) and coca (chew it) available at medicinal/rec head shops and track it like pot.

Pay off-duty cops to deliver heroin to serious junkies; free and conditional to getting weekly counseling.

Sounds crazy, I know; but anything that breaks the cycle of addiction->crime and lightens the burden on the courts/police has to stop making too much sense!

(Or, ... follow the $)

😀 If what to say when it’s snowing has you curious, mud season is gonna really get ya. “Which rut leads home today?”

For us, when we talk to the Oklahoma relatives we just say “it’s snow”. Blizzard, 3 feet an hour, 1/2 inch total or dusting, doesn’t matter. They don’t have the frame of reference to understand. Now if I talk about how it iced over, they want more details cause that’s winter down there.

We say “dumping”

When your origin story is leaving Switchback to be more experimental, you are already on the right foot.

Some. As in "Some snowing out." "Some raining out."

Yes. About an hour in clear weather.
