Tell me more about TASTee. I'm obsessed with little hole in the wall gas station type places that make killer food. The simon's just up the road by the bagel bakery cranks out some surprisingly good stuff, same with a number of the champlain farms. But it's really hit or miss.

Closest thing we have to NYC bodegas.

You're acting like fossil fuels aren't subsidized as well, and also forgetting about the blackouts in TX caused by frozen nat. gas pipelines. I'm sure you would agree those plants were "entirely useless".

I would agree, remove subsidies and political constraints and let the technologies fight it out. However this is a bit of a fantasy world, and if it were to happen I believe nuclear would see a resurgence and take over as the prime mover.

Hopefully this discussion is pointless in 20 years once fusion technology takes off.

From the actual bill " An act relating to removal of criminal penalties for possessing, dispensing, 6 or selling psilocybin and establishment of the Psychedelic Therapy 7 Advisory Working Group "

Which I think is totally legit, however the post is a little misleading. Other Decrim Nature initiatives have been much broader in their scope.

It’s the humans that own Jules that make it a no-go for me. The food is “ok”, the pricing is high for what you get - solid meh and I don’t care to support their business with the way they handle themselves.

There’s JPs in Essex Junction as well. Nothing fancy - but it’s fast and predictable. Reasonably priced. Nice humans. Many regulars that I see there every week.
