They didn't forfeit because of race. It was the behavior.

Reply to So. With all of the power outages in VT and New Enland area, hats off to all of the line crew for restoration! But.. what if.... your company instilled a root cause, corrective action plan? Root cause? Um maybe the infustructure can't withthstand the weather presenting trees taking out the system? by 4eververmonter
I live way out on a mountainside. About 10 years ago the power company finally put the poles along the roads --before that they had to backpack into the woods to fix the lines. Now we're only ever out for a few hours. The last time we were out for over a day was that bad Thanksgiving storm in 2018.
I also have a little inverter generator that runs on propane or gas that has a weatherproof tent so I can put it a safe distance from my house, and a bunch of quality extension cords and a little battery backup that can run the router for a few hours (which is all I really ever use). Eventually I'd love to buy solar panels and a battery bank.
It's perfectly dealable and totally not worth burying lines for. I doubt they'd stay stable and be a more sustainable solution anyway. The things that I have had heave in this ground, and the rocks whenever we've dug into it...

Power is out, I want to read a book… oh shit forgot all books are better suited to be online only now. 😄 I do understand what you are saying though. Issue is you are one person with one opinion, lots of people appreciate libraries! Also the books are already paid for, they aren’t going to make much IF any money selling them. It’s stupid, and dangerous to dispose of books.

Simple 3,4,5 steps I can do. But I was more thinking along the lines of mobile mechanic work. I've had a handful of single job customers and 2 regulars. I was looking for ways to get my name/card out there to people I wouldn't otherwise meet, make some contacts, plus on the apps I've read about I could choose jobs that are within my wheelhouse, rather than have someone call me and I have to say "that's outside if my skills"

Scott won't sign this lol. He's got big pharmacy backing. He only signed onto weed because it might have cost him the election.

Front Porch Forum for sure.
Also, do you have any experience building front steps? Need to replace mine. Plus a hundred or so other handyman jobs I've been putting off.

In any given year there are about 30,000 college students attending classes in VT. 35,000 if you count CCV. But almost all CCV are in-state.
Out of the 30k about 10k are VT residents. That leaves 20,000 college students traveling to VT for college. If ONLY 1% of them stayed, that would be 200 new young people moving to VT annually.
And if 5% stayed, that would be an additional 1,000 college educated young people moving to VT every year.
That is the best opportunity VT has to grow. And what do we do? We charge the highest tuition, have the most expensive housing for students. Hit them with godawful fees and do almost everything possible to drive them out.
I've spoken with countless students, and after four years of being treated like an ATM on two feet, they've had enough. They happily admit they will come back to visit regularly, but they don't want to live here.

Youre used to articles with a slant is what I said there’s no edit your comprehension sucks. That’s clear by you doubling down. It’s the facts that’s what news is supposed to be. No editorialized bullshit.

I don’t know, I got a physics degree and I used the library constantly. Maybe engineering is a basic degree that you can get in exchange for some homework problems, but most majors involve research and a physical library is essential for that

Yes, I fully understand that you are ok with journalists not doing their job and instead acting more like stenographers producing weird articles that read like they were pulled from an AI chat bot.
And please, own your shit. You came in here spewing your gibberish about a “slant” I was supposedly claiming this journalist has. Yet, it’s an article about cops firing a cop, or pushing him out of the department. This is cop on cop drama my dude, where’s the slant? 🤣
I just want an article written by a human, is that too much to ask?

I started by responding to FPF posts. From there it was all word of mouth. I actually asked people to NOT post about me as I was all ready too busy as it was. This was in Montpelier at the time and I had no problem whatsoever finding work. Show up when you saw you will, do quality work, and treat people right.
