Thanks for reminding me about that bullshit Covid vax program. I still kind of can’t believe it was real. It was literally saying: “skin color == this, get preferential vax eligibility.” Straight up racism in the name of self-righteousness - and as you pointed out, completely misguided.

I know what woke people say it means. I have a white-collar job - it's impossible not to know.

That's why I know woko haram types have been calling for segregated "spaces" (to use their lingo) for a long time: school classes and clubs grouped by race, places at work or in public where certain races are excluded, etc. And yes, I've heard plenty of calls for segregated police forces, always proposed and defended on woke grounds.

We had a racially-biased covid vaccine program in this state FFS, despite no evidence that race made a difference to one's susceptibility to covid, and tons of evidence that class accounted for most of one's risk. Which should be obvious to sane people: a black software engineer (say) with a cushy WFH job was at much less risk than a Hispanic (for example) cashier who couldn't afford to stay home and had to go to work and get coughed on by obnoxious customers.

So yeah, I know. If proposing segregation sounds racist, it's because it is. An easy fix is to stop proposing segregation. The goal of woko haram ideology is to prevent working people of all races from coming together to fight for things that would benefit all of us: healthcare, livable wages, safe work, action on the climate catastrophe, etc etc etc.

Worked for Walmart for almost 7 years…smokes the entire time I worked there. they don’t test unless you are going for management or higher. I will say that even if it’s legal in Vermont they follow federal rules so they have a zero tolerance policy. If they suspect or you hurt your self they will test. You should be fine!

Stop at Cold Hollow Cider mill, the Cabot cheese annex and lake Champlain chocolates in Waterbury/Waterbury Center rather than Ben and Jerry’s. Lake Champlain Chocolates ice cream is excellent.
You will get better quality and more varied local stuff that is NOT owned by a multinational corporation.

you're not answering my question: why are Vermonters such miserable people, as you've proven yourself to be?

"wow you must be fun at parties" then "you don't understand the joy that comes with shitting on people from [insert neighboring state containing human beings exactly like Vermonters]"

Oh wow, you seem fun at parties. Do you think it’s Vermonters going to the most overpriced mountain we have? Do you think Connecticut is 50 miles away too? I’m happy you learned a logical fallacy to whip out for internet points but it does not apply here; my joke is that only wealthy braindead fools from out of state would wait in line for so-so trails and white tablecloths.
