Minorities have been purged off voter roles in multiple states, even for skipping voting in only one election, and aren't notified about it. Poling places in poor and minority communities have been closed, forcing them to find a way to get to a far away voting place, and then Georgia passed a bill that made it illegal to give these people who have been standing in line for hours even a bottle of water even in 100 degree weather. I'm guessing you've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to check in to vote, but I have relatives who have waited for hours in the South, while white areas have no such waits. I won't even get into the voter intimidation of voters in cities, in the name of looking out for voter fraud. I ask you, since 2016, how many provable instances of voter fraud were there? I'll give you a hint, the convictions were almost all Trump voters voting twice or more.

LGBT teachers aren't even allowed to mention their significant other in class without falling afoul of "Don't say Gay" laws in Florida, while straight teachers are freely able to talk about their wives or husbands.

All of these are easily verifiable with a very quick Google search.

One party is putting forth solutions to actual issues facing our country, no matter how well or poorly conceived.

The other party is obsessed with fighting a culture war and even when fully in charge has only given massive tax cuts to the rich and kept dark skinned immigrants out of the country while otherwise trying to bend or break the laws that uphold the free institutions that preserve our democracy in the name of trying to stay in power permanently.

Both sides indeed.

There's a reason they have the highest insurance rates

I always enjoy that feeling when someone drives like an asshat and passes me in a huge rush, and then I catch up to them at the next traffic light. Shelburne Rd is great for that sort of karma. I usually give them a little hand wave to say "hi again"

Instead of Eden, Bakersfield is a nicer choice just a little further up 108

Ok Maynard Keynes

Scott's definitely a large part of the delay, but the board once fully formed weren't able to issue more than a few outdoor grow licenses before the seeds needed to be planted in May, so much of what we have right now is indoor.

The biggest slam against them has been the dragging of feet, causing significant delays in getting licenses for growers and retail stores.

Vermont doesn't have cities like other states do. And better housing needs to be a statewide issue, not just foisted on Burlington, Rutland, Bennington, etc.

Unlike what you may have learned in econ 101, the "free market" doesn't exist. Instead the market is unpredictable and tends to favor the rich. They just wave that off as externalities, but ultimately durable goods markets behave differently than widget markets.

A number of towns in VT have PUD density bonus for reaching a better environmental practices, public good projects, and even for more open space.

Developers need a carrot and stick method to "encourage" them to build denser housing. Otherwise they will keep building homes out of the reach of most Vermonters.

It's simple to say that regulation is stopping more housing stock from being built. It's also not based in reality.

Developers are going to build what makes them the most money, which are high end single family homes. Even building an extra 500 homes without regulation isn't going to help do anything but create more opportunities for out of state investors and pad developers' pockets, which is exactly why they're the biggest proponents of deregulation.

PUDs lower the cost for the developer, but that isn't realized on the sale price enough to make much difference for the home buyer. And maybe through bonuses developers can squeeze a few extra single family houses, but that's not going to put a dent in the housing crisis.

Building more single family homes sprawled out is a large part of the issue, and Act 250 at least keeps some of that in check. We need denser housing options in downtime or growth areas and encouraging public transportation to those areas. Otherwise we continue with the same failed "trickle down" method we have now.

I remember skiers bitching about snowboarders fucking up their ski areas. They were gatekeeping then, and OP is gatekeeping now. Put a sign up on the entrance if it hurts your fee fees so much.

-15 in Fairfax with a -36 windchill. Brrr

Needless to note that the creator of this racist meme, Jack Posobiec, really truly believes that Democratic leadership is abusing and trafficking children in the basement of Cosmic Pizza.

Have you considered the Grange in Berlin?

Maybe if you were 6'7" and female you could hang out with that other dude.

What if I have a Samsung watch?

Das Bierhaus? They've been gone a while, but the Turkish Kebab House that took it's place is pretty rad.

That kitchen! Original cabinets, weird layouts, linoleum floor.

This whole place is a "handyman special".

DeJoy declined to step down, and there are no other mechanisms to remove him. So keep plucking that chicken

It's not just Williston. You can thank Louis DeJoy, the orange man for appointing him, and the decades of Republicans in Congress trying to privatize the post office by saddling it with debt. This has been their goal for years and it's now really affecting on the ground deliveries.
