Reply to Final Reading: Vermont school officials say students’ mental health is at ‘a breaking point’ by greenhousecrtv
We are putting teachers, parents and all their egos ahead of children's needs. We sure do spend a lot of money to educate but not enough on listening to what is actually going on with kids in their day to day life. I work with many of them and what I hear constantly is that they feel as though they are a number in a system. I wouldn't blame them, we have to get back to actually listening, not telling them to learn a certain way. What did everyone think would happen when you lock kids up, make them wear a mask losing any individual identity they formally had. The educational system need a complete overhaul, reminding those at the helm that kids come 1st not teachers unions. Put money where it works, not where the union demands. Kids should be our focus, including their mental health.

Lifelong Vermonter who working for the airline industry has been all over the world, there are racist/ignorant people everywhere but in Vermont I find people excepting people's individuality in race, sex and creed. We welcome everyone including you and your husband.

I've talked to a few people that would love to work for USPS but the drug test for weed makes them not want to work there.

Reply to Off-Grid solar solution? by Impressive-Parfait18
We had the largest array of panels that were legal along with 4 Tesla battery banks installed in our home. This system cost approximately 60k before tax incentives. In the summer we make %200+ the amount of electricity needed. These end up being tax credits later when you don't make enough. In December, January, February and even March there are days where we are only making %10 of what is needed. Having a tank in the ground that feeds a generator is the only way that we found that makes it capable of being completely off grid if we wished. To answer your question with everything available now, there isn't a viable option to be completely self sustaining and live a modern electric hungry life.
