People complaining VT pizza is too expensive are the same ones who think restaurant workers should be paid $30 an hour+benefits. Which one is it?

The case is now in the federal court of appeals. Is Kerson a bad artist? The pictures must be ridiculous. ??

Ok so send him to jail because nationalism? Jfc that’s even worse…

So You think the majority of residents in Burlington are uneducated people…and you don’t care about them. I mean you do you boo, but that’s not a look I’d be posting on the inter web.

I’m a person who has first hand knowledge, which I’m guessing is more than you have in this instance, but possibly you’re from ME and I’m wrong…

Kerson’s Art

yeah a lot of that jives with what I've discovered as well. It's crazy how the government is pushing these as a panacea when, at least at the moment they're giant money pits that don't seem like they'll possibly lead to enough savings to cover their installation costs.

vt style is apples and maple

A pizza is Vermont Style when it’s literally the only option for takeout where you live and you’re genuinely grateful even if it kind of sucks

Electric is traditionally the most expensive way to heat.

It's not 46 take home pay. It's 46 including pension, health care etc. Pretty sure the take home pay at Cooper and mountain air is around 30-35. Both are union. NEA, VT Mech, Avonda, Alliance, are all non union but similar take home pay. Granted that's for a fully licensed tech. If you are new It's going to be around 17 an hour and goes up from there depending on experience and the amount of licenses you hold. Hvac you are going to need plumbing s, electrical s, EPA, Nat GAS and propane, oil.

Vermont has some great pie spots but none are on this list.

Thanks! That’s definitely on the list. The Stone Village.

Agreed. It's not like anyone is claiming they have Vermont Style pizza or trying to make it happen, it's just food writers doing what food writers do. I grew up in Minneapolis and the one place that declared to have "Minneapolis Style" pizza was a neighborhood chain that was sub-par at best. Bring that cardboard trash to the National Pizza Convention* and you'd get laughed all the way out to the dumpster.

(*I have no idea of this exists but absolutely would pay to attend)

Hey, what’s that great Asian spot in Barre that also has a lotta gluten-free?

Vermont style pizza is some farm to table overpriced garbage that is blander than potato salad without salt.

> I guess ONE point is it was tried and the majority of people didn’t like it...

i don't care the opinion of uneducated people who don't understand how a system works

> Final note, IF the voters actually wanted him to be mayor, they wouldn’t have tossed IRV directly after the election and there wouldn’t have been a push for a recall (which weren’t and still aren’t a thing in Vt). But those things did happen and it’s pretty clear IRV led to a Mayor the people didn’t want.

its pretty clear you're a person who believes stories over knowledge

The problem with a wood stove is it requires a lot of work to get your heat. Even if you buy your wood, it needs to be stacked (somewhere outside), dragged into the house, and loaded in the stove. If you source it yourself, add craptonnes more. Then, stove needs to be shoveled out daily and pipes disassembled and cleaned monthly. Say nothing of the poking and prodding during the day.

That’s fine for a youngster, or even middle aged, but we old folks can’t handle that kind of work anymore. When we bought our house, it had a beast of a wood stove. I was really excited to be burning wood again. With no land, the cost these days is ridiculous, our beloved porch became a wood crib and every time I loaded up my arms with wood, I bruised myself for days. The corners and weight of the wood is not kind to aged flesh.

We gave up and switched to a pellet stove. Still more work than adjusting a thermostat but doable for the old fogies.

I had to use electric space heaters in the fall for a couple weeks while waiting for a new furnace to be put in… wasn’t even that cold and my electric bill almost tripled for that month. Would not recommend.

This may not work for everyone, but I got a zero interest loan from the state and installed four heat pumps. I use my oil furnace only as back up and thus far have burned less than 100 gallons of oil. I do keep the house cold as you do but I stay comfortable by wearing layers. The heat pumps are sophisticated and also serve as air conditioning in the summer. My electric bill has risen of course but it is a great relief not to have to buy oil for the winter

This is a pretty common situation sadly.

The parts are model specific, and models refresh very frequently so the parts for a given model are only produced for a very short time.

Additionally heat pumps regardless of manufacturer aren’t really designed with repair in mind to begin with. A lot of mechanical techs consider them to basically be similar to a very expensive disposable window unit. Even if you do all the preventative maintenance (which is quite involved, better hope the indoor heads are placed so they can be fully disassembled yearly) they’re unlikely to make it to 15 years of service life. Many people see less than 5 before they’re beyond economical repair.

I think the author wasn't so much proclaiming a grand category of "Vermont-style" pizza as just trying to describe that particular pizza made with local Vermont ingredients and a maple crust. Churning out words for content mills isn't easy.

No mention of Folinos? They make a slammin pie.

I've heard both options work great but personally, I keep it in the refrigerator.

Not a thing

when I think of Vermont pizza I often think tolerable, and expensive. However I think Vespa in Essex Jct needs a spot on the list.
