You don't need to be that close, 45 mins is about what i would if I had to. Mt Snow is Vail right? Could you look at other Vail mountains. You could stay somewhere between Burlington and Stowe and then brave the access road. Good luck.

Trust me, this isn't a fun place to be in, and I strongly believe in keeping my kids mentally and physically well by enjoying the outdoors together. Perhaps saying she is in the hospital is easily misunderstood, but I'm still trying to come to terms with how to loosely describe our families situation. Thank you for understanding.

Sheesh, I just left Wasilla (the home of Alaska’s finest gravel pits and meth labs) and moved ten miles north of Peacham just to get away from neighbors like them.

Maybe try expanding your search radius… I stayed in Brattleboro a few years ago and it was a fun time.

If you don’t want to be seen as a troll, your best bet is to lay out your ideas for bail, and then either square those with constitutional law or admit your hurdles. Otherwise how do we prevent not-guilty people from rotting in jail for a year or two before their trials?

Scary thought. This guy sounds like a liability, not a bf. He doesn’t sound like a real Vermonter either, or he would know.

I think your answer is in the headline, no one likes to be micromanaged, especially if they know how to do something and know you don't. But either way, car should always be moved when the snow is a plowable event.

> if I was so offended by a sign
The sign in question is basically saying "You are not deserving of a roof over your head unless you pay me whatever I want".
These aren't "a landlord's objectionable view". These are a landlords god-complex being pushed into law.

On the banking things, no, obviously its not a creator of wealth. Money != wealth. Our economy should be built to produce things with use value, as Marx termed it. That is, things derive material value from their utility. Money has no utility beyond exchange, which is not ultimately a necessary utility as we proved with the rationing system during the great depression.
In my view, the whole of the financial and property sectors are leeches that stand in the way of a more truly productive economy. They impose a completely unnecessary overhead on all economic activity (Property sale, interest, etc.) And all for what? The strengthening of a class of people who don't aid in the production of useful goods? Send all Landlords, bank owners, and shareholders to the farms and factories. Then they will actually contribute.
As for whether or not I expect my preferred world view to ever come to be, I see 3 possibilities for the future of our society:
- My world view comes to be, and the working class is empowered to run the world for their benefit.
- My world view does not come to be, and the Capitalist class is left to dominate. This results in two possibilities itself:
- The utter lack of regard that the Capitalist class has for the impending climate crisis leads to an era of constant strife and war over the new Water World's scarce resources.
- If somehow the Capitalist class is convinced to give a shit about the Poors drowning, they ultimately are forced into Fascism, the form capitalism takes when the contradictions within it are too glaring and inflamed for the working class to ignore them, and so violent state repression becomes necessary for the continuation of the Capitalist system.
So, I'm not entirely optimistic that my world view comes to pass, but I sure as hell hope it does, because Capitalism is entirely unsustainable.
