so you admit that it's not any sort of legitimate news or discourse happening there.

​

As for your question, I'm not sure how to add to or debate such an idiotic string of statements. I disagree with everything the author said. I think just shouting "racist" at everything is idiotic, shallow, and anti-intellectual. It's just such a dishonest framing of the issue and of events that it's impossible to actually discuss the issue with this person and people who think like him. He isn't experiencing the same reality that sane people are.

What an embarrassingly poorly written article lmao. Without an ounce of professionalism in the text, it reads like a Huffington Post castoff writer who woke up on the wrong side of the bed one morning.

Where are you located? I’m in Fairfax and I tried this. Got the app to help locate the tower and everything. All I could get was some ESPN knockoff that was showing college lacrosse and a single channel playing black and white movies on a loop. Tried it in different spots on the wall and different rooms at different elevations.

I understand it to a point, but that’s also only one side of the equation. Even the mythical “rich out of stater working remote moving here” is still bringing their dollars here to spend at our businesses.

Statistically it’s the opposite - VT has been a leader in falling population for at least the last two census counts. Younger people especially are leaving the state in droves - we need any and all people who want to come here to grow the state.

It’s crazy how xenophobic this sub can be. Vermont desperately needs people to move here and contribute to the economy.

A mural honoring the Underground Railroad is now out of step with DEI mandates… curious…

You missed the point, and I’m sick of explaining this. Read my other comments

That’s all well and good for clarifying the language, but that doesn’t answer how any of these rules are going to reduce gun violence.

The vague language means you’re inferring that, and not everyone will share that interpretation. Also it’s just absurd levels of micro managing the populace. So under a pillow is ok, what about on/in a bedside table? How is any of this preventing gun violence?

Again, anti common sense. One of the main reasons to have a gun is for home defense. If an intruder breaks in, I’m supposed to have to basically unlock and re-assemble my gun and then go to the separate place the ammo is kept? Absolute foolishness.

I beg to differ - this wouldn’t be a case of “the defendant had significant wealth to be gained from the murder of Jane doe” because hate isn’t a rational motivation it can’t be explained or determined rationally. It’s just begging to be abused by those seeking to strip guns from people.

Also, in context an honest reading of the 2nd amendment intends “well regulated” to mean strong functioning, well maintained. Why would they write an amendment saying the right to own guns will not be infringed, but then give govt tons of power to regulate? Doesn’t make logical sense especially given the context of the time.

That’s not what they’re referring to here, or else they would have just said hate crimes. “Hate motivated” opens a Pandora’s box of overzealous prosecutors who will try to pin down anything under the sun as “hate motivated”. Also, we’re not in the same universe now with such a quick trigger to label things hate speech/hate motivated crimes

“Hate motivated crimes” is going to be a nightmare for courts to sort out. How can a court or jury confidently identify if a crime is hate motivated? Same problem with hate speech.

This is a ridiculous package of anti-common sense laws that do nothing but inconvenience, harass, and possibly endanger law abiding gun owners. Hopefully this is just political posturing on a bill that won’t actually go anywhere, especially since the legislature has a veto-proof majority.

I hear you. Does it have to be middlebury? Franklin County can be a reasonable commute to Burlington for instance, which I’m sure has high end restaurants he could Chef at. For instance, my wife and I live in Fairfax in Franklin County and it takes just a little over 30 mins to reach Burlington or Williston areas.

Some areas of northern VT are more affordable, Franklin county or the NEK (Caledonia/essex/Orleans county). of course that would likely mean a career change if you’re working in the middlebury area, but sometimes it’s worth doing that. St Albans is a nice up and coming town in Franklin County and the surrounding rural towns are still fairly cheap to live.

To my knowledge it was just that one 2.5 liter 4 cyl that had HG issues. The 2.0 or whatever else they run now I haven’t heard anything bad about

Lmao so many joyless misery guts in this thread. It’s satisfying pizza for cheap just don’t except top shelf

You’ve never had their Italian cheese bread have you

At least he’s living the dream

He’s gonna change the world with his punk band bro

Looking for reporters to beat up?

My vote is for xfinity mobile to be honest - if you have their wifi that is. Reception is on par with AT&T or Verizon and it’s $60 a month for 2 unlimited data lines. They also do great trade in or bring-your-phone-over deals

Only people who think like me are good people!!!! What a balanced and level headed worldview.

Doesn’t iOS do that too? In any app I can swipe in from the left edge and it goes back to last page/menu
