I’m fairly sure there are going to be federal incentives coming down the road (part of the infrastructure bill that was passed last year) but it will take a couple years for that to get filtered down through the states. I’m personally waiting it out to see what energy efficient incentives will be offered.

Idk when I called after an accident in Williston when someone else was CLEARLY at fault they said they would not send anyone to investigate and just to call my insurance company.

You mean when teachers were forced to work in enclosed spaces with children who are notorious for contracting and spreading illness while a lethal pandemic raged on? Why yes I was. Thank you for asking.

Please enlighten me. What language in teachers contracts do you feel caused all these issues?

If you’ve heard of inflation you know that the same thing costs MORE year after year. Additionally, staffing increases are standard when you have people remain longer than 1 year (raises). An increased budget absolutely does not mean that schools can get additional staff or services.
If the increases aren’t sufficient (which in most districts they haven’t been aside from getting an influx of covid money), then teacher positions get cut, social workers get cut, etc. Our schools are now operating as mental health triage on a daily basis, and families are in crisis (housing, jobs, home violence, food, etc) and there aren’t caseworkers or therapists to help more than 10% of those needing help. It’s dire.

Vermont school sports is notorious for bringing out the worst racism in people (see any of the many incidents this year, in recent years).
I’ve heard that Woodstock is a decent, accepting place, but can’t speak to it myself.

Oh thanks for the recommendation! Never been to a dermatologist so that’s helpful. Also lol at people downvoting me describing my situation of a long wait. Not sure why that’s controversial.

Why honey bees? These bees are not native to North America and are actually detrimental to our local ecosystem because they crowd out native bee/pollinator populations.

It is a bizarre feeling. The impacts of climate change are real and obvious. And they will accelerate over the next decade

Depends how many people you’re playing with. Wingspan, Obsession, Catan, Splendor for more than 2. Schotten Totten and Shobu when we have a one on one matchup.
