I am a life long democrat, and there have been several members of the party that are off the rails.
MTG - Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Matt Gaetz - Anthony Weiner
You don’t have to look long to find a Democrat who is bat shit crazy. Crazy people have never been a one-sided thing. That being said, the current batch of Republicans do seem to have more air time.

Fiscally conservative just means he clutches his pearls at the thought of helping poor people and minorities. It’s not a good thing.

The fact that you’re getting downvoted for stating facts is depressing.

I’d like to know more too. We went with Suncommon, partly because they wouldn’t install a single powerwall due to an issue that sounds like that. Real-Pierre, do you have a single?

I feel like 90% of the road rage on 89 would disappear if people would just treat the passing lane like a passing lane instead of a second lane to go the same speed as the person next to them. You know, follow the law about "Keep Right Except to Pass"?

I didn't look up where you live. You went off when someone called Rutland shitty and I remembered as I trolled you witch Rutland having the second highest crime rate in the state and you got all in a tizzy. I figured it worked once, may as well try again.
As for you examples, you are describing an accident not reckless driving and your 100% claim is 100% wrong.
Ohhh... And Rutland is shitty.

You only see them for a day or two after a big crash. Then back to normal.

It’s at the point where most low beams are so bright I can’t even tell what’s what anymore.

I was concerned for one of them - not enough to put myself in danger. The other one (the brake checker) pulled over, sat on the guardrail, and just cal made a phone call.

I drive the same stretch every day too. It’s basically a racetrack from exit 19 to exit 14. Haven’t seen a trooper in the morning in months.

I just wanted to say thanks for posting this article. I've had some conversations relating to this in the recent past, discussing depression and anxiety as a normal response to an awful status quo. It was helpful, if scary in a way, to read something like this from someone smarter than me.

Serious content aside - love the phrase “Giant douche canoe”. Need to figure out now how I can include that in a sentence.

Phil Scott has been consistently fiscally conservative and socially liberal. He has even actively spoken out against what his party is getting up to. Click bait gets you nowhere my friend.

Age limits for sure, the number of old fucks that can’t or won’t get up to speed with the flow of traffic is infuriating.

Because what if they slam on the brakes because there's a child running into the road? What if there's an animal? Or any other of a billion reasons to slam on the brakes. You need to give adequate distance to the person in front of you.
> In fact in The rest of non Rutland Vermont you are considered the victim of road rage and the person who intentionally caused an accident can be charged with reckless driving.
in fact in 100% of the world if you rear end someone insurance will place you at fault. really weird you looked up where I live, too. reddit is creepy

I have two powerwall batteries installed and they have been seamless for the power outages we have experienced. This last storm they provided electricity for the entire house for the duration of the outage. (Fifteen hours). They ran the outdoor hot tub, two refrigerators, a freezer, the heat and lights and media. At $15 per month for each battery over the ten year lifespan it will be several thousand dollars less than installing a generator. Also there is no maintenance on the batteries. So far very happy with them.

Yeah it’s almost like in the face of late stage capitalism, uncontrollable inflation, war in Europe, increased isolation and screen time, people are losing their grip. Who’d have fuckin thought right? Everyone seems one bad minute away from losing it. Not sure it’ll get better until we start helping each other and turn off the echo chambers and see one another as brothers again.
