Reply to Do Better, Vermont by GrumpyGrawlix
Last time I checked, border patrol is not on the State of Vermont payroll...
Since you're all high and mighty, what's your detailed plan?

Are you fucking crazy? Attract MORE?!?!!? Have you been under a rock? Seems a bit upside down considering the current state of things. Maybe we should worry a bit more about those already here. Fuck more.

A 6 month session in a state with such a small population is quite long. Should only be 2-3 months but the P/T issue would persist.

You feel that Vermont lacks professional people, in general? I don't understand where this comes from.

We just got a new one from the Exploding Kittens/The Oatmeal guy. It's called Mantis, and it's a quick, simple game with a small table footprint. I think it's just become our new favorite for bringing to the bar.
I'm still trying to find anyone who can beat my husband at Villainous, because he is an absolute strategy steamroller and in a two-player game with me he will win every. damn. time. while I'm sitting around with my whole realm covered in annoying heroes. Someone needs to wallop him, but it's clearly not going to be me.

Lately I’ve been playing Obsession, which is a fantastic Victorian-era-themed worker-placement game, and Carnegie, which takes twice as long but even more worker-placey.
A great game for not taking too long or taking yourself too seriously is crokinole, which is like darts, tiddlywinks, and shuffleboard had a baby. One of those ‘minute to learn, lifetime to master’ things. Best played while imbibing

Just be glad that you don't have our insanely over-paid, underworked full-time legislature here in PA that approved automatic raises so they never have to vote for one again.
I would take your state legislature in a heartbeat.

Politicians should make a living wage yes.
The current 14k salary is a huge barrier to anyone who isn't already wealthy.

BoardGameArena just got the e-version. I do have the meatspace copy but it’s nice to place 2 rounds in the space of 1

People that advocate for it when they have jobs where it’d work. Doesn’t work for the majority of jobs

I mean more likely than not you would still be working a 5 day work week if you work at an out of state company. When you are full time salary there isn't really an enforcement for how many days you work.

I agree, but this is something that should be done on the national scale. Otherwise like the ruling probably wouldn't effect much.

People say 4-day work week, and lots of people assume there will be 3-day weekends every week. This just will not be the case. Scheduling has to account for staff overlap and coverage on days when others are not working. This would be doubly true for businesses and jobs that require staffing 7 days/week, especially in the service industry.
And what does a 4-day work week really entail? Are we talking about working 20% fewer hours/week for the same pay? For less pay? Are we talking about working 4 days/week at 10 hours/day for the same pay? I'm sure there are multiple answers, depending on the job.

While i totally agree and think there should be a 4 day work week, or will never happen until health care isn't connected to your employment. Universal Healthcare is the first brick to fall in order to have 4 day work week.
We have been trying to get Universal Healthcare legislation passed on a federal level since the 90s and have been discussing it since the 70s.
