If it is on public property the town can and does collect and dispose of it. If it is placed on private property, then it is the property owner who should remove it, otherwise how do you know if the there is consent.

Neither of those represent only supporting a candidate who makes sure a team of volunteers pick up signs after an election because a failure to do so means they do not represent VT. (Which is what the other poster asserted)

Do you have a hate-boner for me. Why are you stalking me. I think this needs to be reported to the site admins.

*If you read his post it has so far changed from candidates to volunteers to supporters. The guy is making shit up to fit his narrative and is pissy he is getting called out for it.

Ohhh your done explaining now? That's very mature of you. Multiple times over multiple decades huh.

You changed your story twice at this point and again you still have not said anything. You seem very ignorant of how things work. What campain did you work on.

Can you cite any candidate who does this statewide? I kinda doubt it.

So a volunteer run program. That makes sense. That in no way makes the candidate responsible though. The responsibility is still 100% on the sign owner to opt in and uncollected sign would still be a reflection on the individual, not the candidate.

You already said you can’t take them off private land and towns are already empowered to remove them from public rite of ways so are you advocating for trespassing and theft of private property? Explain it like I’m 5. How does a sign cleanup driven by a candidate work? That is the candidate you want? The one who steals other people’s property?

Again, as I said, once someone else takes ownership of the sign, it is no longer the campaign’s garbage.

The previous poster is directly correlating in the responsibility of a volunteer in a specific location to the overarching value of the candidate on the sign.

That is an extremely ignorant and shortsighted position to take.

Also, why do you bring up Zuckerman or boners? I used him once in this thread as an example in how a fine based system could easily be gamed. I think I actually used both gubernatorial candidates in that same post.

I don’t think I have once implied my political leanings here and yet you somehow come to the conclusion about my politics. The unfortunate part of Reddit is the hypocrisy. Politics has become a sport and fans of all teams are too blind to engage in critical thinking. People like you who say things like “Both sides” embody the problem. Rather than look at a candidate in a state of local election to determine if they represent you and your values you automatically assume whichever team you are on is right and the other team is wrong. Instead of assume that, in VT at least, most people are doing what they think is right you think all Republicans are closeted homosexuals who hate women or all Democrats want to make ever child change genders. You seem to lack the basic ability to make a decision based on the facts in front of you and justify or ignore facts about people on your team.

Maybe you will eventually realize it, maybe not, but the real issue is between the rich and the poor. A system has been designed which pitches poor people against each other fighting for scraps while the rich get richer. It is easy to convince people like you that the Republican Party is full of Nazis or the Democratic Party is full of pedophiles because when we fight each other, we won’t fight them.

Companies are about to start laying off hundreds of thousands as we enter an economic downturn and you want to argue about David Zuckerman because you think pointing out his past somehow equates to hate. (I also called him an asshole but really, spend even a hour with the guy trying to get something done and you will agree)

The world is going to shit and you are 1/2 the reason why. Read some history books, get off social media (Reddit is ok if you only troll /Vermont) and ask yourself, why does it seem that since 1980 regardless of who is in office, we only see minor change.

Anyway, hate is a strong word. I can happily say I don’t hate anyone today. I do think you are a fucking idiot but that is a different story, maybe you will decide to change, maybe not. Either way, I’m finishing my morning coffe and need to get ready for work. Have a good day, a bad day, in between, I don’t really care because to me, you are just another idiot on Reddit.

*I also just noticed that almost every time I post about David as it relates to this election you bring up Malloy and respond. Are you stalking me?

This is just kinda wrong. He no more deployed the signs then Brenda or Scott did for governor. Provided them but making the candidate responsible for cleanup or fines lends itself to a system ripe to be gamed. Like let me take thousands of Zuckermam signs so he looks like an asshole when they are not picked up.

*reddits inability to have a rational discussion is both what makes it so disgusting and so amusing all at one.

An aftermarket cat will pass inspection. There is no law which says you need OEM parts.

If you get one installed and get your O2 sensors back on so the check engine light is off and a garage refuses, please report them to the state.

*also, were you to straight pipe until later, your car will not run like shit. It will run a little rich and get a mile or two less a gallon but you will be spewing a lot more emissions into the air.

The front drive tire? Ugggg. Good luck man. May be time to watch a lot of YouTube videos.

  • I just watched a few. You can do this man. You got it. It doesn’t look too bad. Find a friend who fixes their own car and they can help.

Total aside, my dream is to start a place called the help space. It would be a place where people who knew how to do this stuff would volunteer their time and bring their tools and people who wanted to learn could come in and learn. Stuff like this, or fixing a toaster, or fixing a bicycle, or soldering or wiring a light switch or new fixture or how to use a nail gun, or stuff like that. Basic stuff that makes life easier when you know.

The world is a better place when people are able to pass on knowledge and I think something like that would be a great way to contribute back to the community.

The guy who told you it is inoperable is looking for the work in fixing it.

Having burned wood in a stove up until 3 years ago, I never had an insulated liner. It probably helps the stove be more efficient by keeping the draft consistent but know what heats the liner up quick, a fire.

Anyway, I can’t find Vermont specific code quick but admittlly didn’t want to read that much this early. I am sure the answer is in here.

*one thing to keep in mind is that if your home was built pre 2105, you are probably grandfathered in. Although I shouldn’t use grandfathered because it has historic racial overtones (no shit) but I don’t know a better way to say it, maybe historic exemption? Anyway , new code won’t apply unless you make changes to the system.

My tone seemed a bit hostile and it wasn’t meant to be. I apologize for that but didn’t edit my comment. I think 17 to 20 will get you a good employee who will be invested in you success. Better yet, get some one at 17 and bump them to 19 after a year of good work to show your appreciation. Or 18.50 after 6 months and 20 after a year.

You realize that as the employer you will be paying overall more than you pay them. I don’t remember what employee overhead is offhand but like 15% or so I think. Plus you will need to pay into the unemployment trust fund quarterly and if they are over a certain number of hours and uninsured you pay a tax to the state for that as well.

Anyway, 15$ for the no experience doesn’t care employee. 17 for the shows up and is useful, 20 for the employee who will work to make your successful.

*I looked it up and the SBA says to plan on the cost being 1.25 to 1.5 times the wage for an employee.

** at 6250/month I bet they weren’t paying themselves and they were working a lot.
