> What sort of new exports from the state?

anything really at this point. furniture, guitars, alpaca wool cock sheaths - whatever it takes for us to move our industry from service work to production.

I don’t know why anyone would do that. Kellystan gets progressively worse as you push farther and farther up, plenty of opportunity to see it isn’t going to end well.

If your question is serious, i can put you at ease. I've had mine since 2018 and have never run out of power. You have 'range anxiety' for the first week or two, then you just get to know what you can and can not do with it. Just like knowing you'll find gas stations on the way in a gas car.

The only thing I can't do it hop in the car for a 500 mile road trip without at least looking at the map to see where the on route charging stations are.

I think the problem with a lot of these conversation is that Vermont does not exist in a vacuum. If wealth is built faster outside of Vermont than people who stay here will continue to fall behind.

About how long did it take from when you applied to when you received it?

What sort of new exports from the state?

If you think about it a program like this for remote workers is exporting knowledge work.

Snow doesn’t look deep so a tow truck with chains could probably do it. Or if the battery wasn’t dead, just chains on the vehicle

>Wage for the position equals or exceeds the Vermont livable wage rate. Currently the livable wage rate is $15.33 per hour.

That's... not that much.

no problem. thank you for reading.

They've said they have more application in queue than funds to pay out. Weeks/months ago.

I successfully completed this program.

Maybe it's not causation but correlation?

Image + top comments the essence of this sub! 💉💉💉

Bullshit, quit flinging fud. EVs don't just die when they aren't moving, like an ICE would run out of gas. _Maybe_ if they had the AC cranked and were already running on electron fumes. The motors don't 'idle', they stop drawing power if the vehicle is at a standstill. They are better at this than a gas car.

Why the downvotes? I want to buy an electric, and am trying to figure out how to address the situations that people are proposing as problematic. Why not just keep a small generator in the car? They are cheap and can run for hours on half a gallon of gas.

why would say that? and no

Gee, I wonder why the entire state has a staffing shortage.. it's almost as if the influx of people with remote jobs drove up housing prices, making it unaffordable for Vermonters to stay here, so now every business is left without staff and unable to keep up with necessary pay increases to retain people because... remote workers don't need jobs within our communities.

Saying the staffing shortage is ironic is about as ironic as Alanis Morissette's song.

Remember those kids in school who paid no attention in basic science class? IE. Newtons' laws, etc.

"ThIs Is StUpId. I'm nEvEr GoInG tO UsE ThIs!"

They were right, they still don't. ¯\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯

It's the first thing I noticed ... shudders

Agreed. If they are organized, the majority has the ability to make a change.

I dislike bad landlords; I agree with the vast majority of tenant protections. I hope the majority is organized and knowledgeable enough to inact proper change.

Digger. Jeez.

Why would she not cooperate with people investigating someone else who has committed a crime. Next, the digger headline will be "Balint drinks di-hydogen oxide!" as if water is a bad thing.

Sometimes digger is just digger. Better than nothing, I guess.

Had to do a 3 hour drive down to southern VT over the summer to get a tractor. Beautiful weather but there was an accident on the interstate that had traffic at a stand still for miles. From that point up until we made it to our destination it was just constant dead Teslas on the side of the road.

VT isn't really the state for electric vehicles unless you can stay in the cities such as Essex/Burlington imo.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I actually grew up just across the river in NH, finished school there and couldn't find a job locally so I ended up in MA. I was in MA until my work finally allowed us to work remotely permanently and that's how I ended up here.

Because when you ask it to move, it doesn't budge.

Oh hey I grew up on that road...my old house is still there.
