I don't see self defense being banned. I see weak people being deprived of a way to feel powerful. If you're too scared to go out without a gun, just stay home and maybe try online therapy to quit being such a wuss.

That was a period of huge growth throughout the northeast and really the whole country. We had a huge influx of immigrants and we built a lot of stuff real fast.

"Industrial revolution"

FYI, this is in relation to an "arrestee", but the takeaway is that "immediate control" refers to the area "within an individual's reach" : "In criminal law, immediate control refers to an area within an arrestee’s reach. A police officer may conduct a warrant less search of the area to ensure the safety of the officer and also to prevent the arrestee from destroying evidence. The term also includes the arrestee’s person and the area from within which s/he might gain possession of a weapon or destructible evidence. [United States v. Beltran-Palafox, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 54541 (D. Kan. June 3, 2010)]."

Consider boarding schools. There are several in Vermont and neighboring states. You’ll get housing and all meals, and you’ll get to bank most of your salary, though it may be less than a comparable job at a day school. You can bolster your earnings with tutoring gigs. May get free or significantly reduced tuition as well, for your little ones. You will also work a lot.

That's true only in cities/wealthy suburbs, where $60K is really not a sustainable single income.

If you look up the meaning of "immediate control", in its legal sense, it means pillows and bedside tables are okay. Objecting to the Bill because you think it's "micromanaging" is legitimate, but objecting because you think it means nobody can have a gun for self-protection is just a straw man fever dream. I doubt it would survive the second amendment were that the intent. If that is the intent, then the law should be struck down.

I want everyone who complains about how "expensive" it is to live in Vermont to come and spend a day up here in Canada. Only then will they see what insane costs of living are

The vague language means you’re inferring that, and not everyone will share that interpretation. Also it’s just absurd levels of micro managing the populace. So under a pillow is ok, what about on/in a bedside table? How is any of this preventing gun violence?

Where does the bill say you can't keep a handgun under your pillow? The actual language of the bill is:

" when a firearm is not in a person’s immediate possession or control, the firearm must be properly secured in such a way to render it inoperable by any person other than the owner or other lawfully authorized user and stored separately from ammunition..."

"Immediate control" means you can still keep your firearm under your mattress or pillow.

UVMMC?

Our local hospital pays new nurses $26/hr. Experienced ones make low $30s and entire staff has to park a block away in horrible weather. Not appealing to potential recruits

Exactly. My husband makes 20k than he’s make for the same job in Ny or MA. They blame the lower COL

Respect your opinion but I disagree strongly. Every single one of their ipas taste sour to me. So many other good IPAs like Austin Street, Goodfire, Bissell Brothers

Thank you.

It definitely sounds like they have a case against that gun shop.

I’m about to quit at the end of year 11 and move to a job that pays more for an entry level position. Either don’t move here or don’t teach

I've often maintained that if teaching in public schools was among the highest paid vocations in America it would change our society for the better. Sadly, it is not. Both my dad and brother are teachers. Dad is now retired but was only able to do so by operating a side business, while teaching, for 47 years.

The way I was raised - as I'm sure many Vermonters were - if I did something to raise the teacher's ire, I was not only punished at school but at home as well. Nowadays, it seems parents side with their kids and blame the teacher for shortcomings and confront them and the school board as such. Thankless job but probably the most important job.

As such, OP I commend you.

I'd say firstly, share this with as many people as possible. Secondly, the people who proposed this should never hold office again. I know many locals are in despair with state politics and no longer participate. That must change. The legislators who sponsored this bill obviously have a god complex, but Vermonters need to control our own destiny.

I think probably fine? I’m not overly familiar with the district, but Vermont kids are pretty okay and I’ve not heard anything bad about the district (no news is good news mantra).

You’ll have a mix of kids for sure, being that area is a little heavier population-wise. Some diversity, but I doubt a ton. Poverty is a serious issue and the Upper Valley is no joke related to the opiate issues. I still think Vermont is a pretty decent spot to teach and mostly our kids — though they can be a pain in the butt — are mostly decent.

I am much more partial to the kind of IPAs that walk the line between floral/fruit notes and yet still have hop bite (Focal, Double Sip, Second Fiddle, etc.). I find that IPAd in the style favored by places like Foam, BBCO, even Treehouse and Trillium, have a good flavor, but are largely forgettable and I have a hard time telling one from another really

Lol oh yeah. It is not just VT.

Wet, underdone, and flavorless in my experience. Close runner up is dry as cardboard, still flavorless.

Again, anti common sense. One of the main reasons to have a gun is for home defense. If an intruder breaks in, I’m supposed to have to basically unlock and re-assemble my gun and then go to the separate place the ammo is kept? Absolute foolishness.
