Why is it for some sex scandal bullshit and not…. TREASON

I think there are a lot of people here with family money, but that isn't new. The people moving here now are working, they're working from home making in an hour what Vermonters make in a week. The workforce within the state is dead, the state will be unable to provide basic services in the very near future.

Yeah we get it all guns are bad

I wouldn't necessarily state it's NIMBY, as I agreed they some housing needs to be built to accommodate the increasing workforce of the area, I just believe that there is a better spot for the majority of the housing.

Imo NIMBY would be to refuse the optimal location for the housing just to not have it in your area. I don't agree that it's optimal in a crowded tourist town that doesn't have proper traffic flow, a large grocery store, or other needed items.

Have a great Friday! Good talk.

Why do you think the governor is a shitheel? What has he done for you to form that opinion, because most people generally like him? I’m curious

I don’t think the general statement that Republican candidates in VT are Trump loving goons is remotely accurate. You should get out and talk to a few. Are there some? Sure, but are they all Trumpers? No not really.

They don’t get elected here because most people equate “R” to being a trump loving goon so they vote for whoever has a D or a P next to their name regardless of whether they have the slightest clue about the persons positions… and that’s actually the problem… ignorant voters who vote for a party and not a person 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyone who can't see that "Vermont" is dead and gone is fooling themselves.

No, the threat from the reddit user who responded to Rama's comment about Slate Ridge. The "or else" he's highlighted.

But what benefit would his presence been? Don't you think that his protection detail and the media circus with him would've just heightened the tension? Also giving slate ridge a general forum to be seen?

VT is way past unaffordable for people on ssi/ssdi. Ssi is like $900/month. That won't rent anything anywhere.

Well the governor is a shit heel and he got reelected by a very wide margin. Republican legislative candidates tend to be Trump loving goons, and they aren't getting elected here. Thankfully.

You can’t be serious. As someone who moved here less than a year ago the public schools around me are questionable at best. The worst inner city schools I went to as a child weren’t falling so nearly behind. I’m talking grade levels behind. I’m actually shocked and looking into other options for them next school year.

Covid colonists just moving up here cuz it’s pretty, it’d be nice if they had a work ethic but it’s likely they’re all rich so they won’t have one

Thanks, that is great to know!!!

Thanks for that info. That would be a tough nut to crack.

Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act in 1956. I93 in NH was built in 1957. Tolls in Hooksett.

I think the threat was what Rama was pointing to, not his opinion on Slate Ridge.

Edit: And now we have people defending the threat. Unsurprising. The anti-Rama circlejerk is quite the thing to behold here.

That is why we undo the capitalism

"Scary gun club man" is literally creating a domestic terrorist training compound in our backyards. He's a fucking terrorist. Full stop.

Thought 2 of 2

I believe the biggest problem regarding firearms in the United States today is much more about contemporary "gun culture" then it is about the number or even firepower of guns available.

Once this gun culture was about military, hunting and self-defense. Nowadays, unfortunately, this gun culture has become about political labeling and more use in our social and political affairs.

This is the one that really makes some people in public office wilt.

While they defund public police, and then pay them for private security in their condo complex's.

All these guns just getting up and shooting people. Won't they think of the children? How many times does this need to happen before the people disarm themselves?

I've never suggested anything like you're bringing up. Along the way I've suggested many things including "draining the swamp" type actions where, for example only, firearms confiscated due to illegal use or ownership be as immediately as possible destroyed. And then layer on restrictions to the types of firearms legally available for general use (yeah - gun control).

You, me, the person siting next to either of us ... we're all bozos on this same bus, and most of us have been cogs on the wheel and along for the ride. We didn't create the situation, and we're not financially profiting from it. But we do have the power to do something, and I don't believe what we're doing now is working at all.

If there is a sub standard product, you don't force everyone to use it in the hopes that it improves. The fact of the matter is that it isnt the $$$ invested. Vermont invests more per student than private schools yet still have sub-standards in the eyes of many, its the meddling of the State and it's organs that depreciate the experience.
