Said exactly the same thing. There’s no coming back from that sticky mess.

I love the downvotes that come with this but I still post it because I have not yet found a place to turn Reddit internet points into money.
Sometimes, I even toss a couple errors in the post to up the troll level a little.

BTW, I think the 10,000 STR figure for Vermont is low. There's no way to know, because the state refuses to register them, so it has no clue how many actually exist.

I think I'm just going to nail it to the door, as a warning to other, nicer gear to stay away

You said "normal folks should just give up whatever 'excess' they have to those in need. "
Here's a Bible page that says exactly that:
>But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
Another
>Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.
That one seems pretty relevant to this discussion.
Here's one that says you should lend to the poor even if the debt jubilee is coming up, during which the state will cancel all debt:
>If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward them. Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need. >Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts, is near,” so that you do not show ill will toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They may then appeal to the LORD against you, and you will be found guilty of sin

Amen. Direct collective action will certainly get people’s attention.

At this rate I’m 100% for seizing corporate owned STR properties and turning them into social housing.
Galadrond t1_jdll6ad wrote
It’s becoming increasingly clear that we’re just going to have to tax and regulate STRs out of existence if not ban them outright.

66 myself, and I think New Hampshire is one that has more reps per voters, I'm not sure about other states.
As I said, I think it's about more then just a dollar figure. It's about how we run our common government.
When the Paine Mountain School District (at that time we still called it "Central Vermont Unified Union School District") held it's first organizational meeting, I made sure to push for an increase in what school board members were receiving for a stipend.
I pushed for it so fewer folks would be facing financial barriers to serving their community. I think this issue is important.

I know her name and don't pretend to know Ariel's while story but I know I talked to her almost every night and unfortunately was one of the last people she knew to see her still with us so I'm great full for the short time I did know her and my opinion is only that but the fact is the ones she needed was her family and well they was not there period

Soni guess her family is not going to step up to the plate and out of well deserved shame I'm sure but I keep her since I think February 27after she got out of Brattleboro she had found out her husband cheated on her and it really fucked her up her religious family would have nothing to do with her because I believe she wanted a divorce so after adult teen challenge and a mental hospital she ended up in a shelter with nothing luckily me and a few others did what we could the day after she got here she was followed by a creep from Brattleboro who I talked to and he left I used to talk to her more than anyone and her scumbag husband cheating on her hurt her bad and because she would not take him back her family shut her out she was in a state she wasn't from around people she did not know and was scared and lonely she needed and wanted her family who never once checked on her I don't know why she chose to do what she did but Ariel was a sweet hurt 26 year old that felt like she lost the family who say they loved her and had a cheating scumbag husband .When she was at her lowest point in life she was betrayed and abounded I talk to her many nights if she had her family she would be here I got her the ride because she said she had a aunt there to live with I have felt like shit for the last week and will always remember how lucky I was just to know her the short time I did the bottom line is her family out her in a shelter and now wants to act like they was there for her they was not and if they would have she would still be here so take that how you want

What I find hilarious is that, in damn near unison, this sub is like “so not news!” “Kids are kids!”…but if this was spun the exact same way except as an underage drinking party at a State Troopers house, you all would be losing your minds.
Drinking kills people daily (including innocent victims).
