They grew up in the city, and they're still getting used to it.

Or they're reminding themselves that this is my life now and laughing.

Or reminding themselves that some people freak out when they see this because they grew up where there are paved roads and/or no snow/ice.

Just another winter day on r/Vermont, don't let it bother you. :)

> One party is putting forth solutions to actual issues facing our country, no matter how well or poorly conceived.

yes - but the ends do not always justify the means.

> The other party is obsessed with fighting a culture war

both parties are guilty of that.

Yep - cages started with Obama, Wall with trump, and more cages with biden. Partisan politics never change.

as you said - both sides indeed.

You're not getting a clear road on dirt in VT in winter. Trying to do that is just a futile endeavor. I've learned to dress my car for the weather (to strain the metaphor): studded tires, AWD car. It comes with the territory (literally).

This is the tradeoff. If you want paved roads clear of ice, move to a city. The dirt road and the weather just DGAF.

Yes. 100 people killed at a Great White concert. It was a very big deal. Actually, it’s relevant here because stuff like this impacts local building codes. Also, these people didn’t live far from us. The fact that this isn’t a Vermont story is a different issue than the fact that BFP has come to truly suck.
