Had a friend who worked with sexual offenders and getting them re-acclimated to life and living on their own. He told me something like 70+ percent of all registered sex offenders in the county live in Winooski. Never been able to shake that stat in my head haha I remember walking around town and there being signs on all of the posts pointing out certain houses full of sex offenders. This was less than two years ago too.

The only reason we know about the FTX money is because those guys were very unsophisticated regards avoiding disclosure. They were trying to act too fast.

Billions of dollars "finds" its way into our common politics every year. There are thousands of FTXs out there who have found the legal avenues of corrupting our politics and politicians.

It's that "systemic" thing, ya' know?

WTH does it say about the kidnappers that they left the keys in the truck such that their victim was (luckily and thankfully) able to drive away after breaking free of her restraints? Sure as shit sounds like they're pretty far from being master criminals. Do drugs make you stupid, or does that come first?
