Reply to Places to propose in Stowe? by [deleted]
You can take the gondolas in Stowe on a round trip without a ski pass, there's a nice restaurant and an amazing view.
Or you could do it on the Ben and Jerry's tour.
Or go to Burlington and watch the sun set over the lake from the park.

Reply to Republicans in Vermont? by rolloofnormandy50
Phil can stay in office for as long as he wants to keep running. VT generally love incumbents. Our last R governor, Jim Douglas stuck around for 4 terms (2 years apiece), and when he stepped down, he was replaced with a shitshow of a D governor who was even able to manage holding on for 3 terms before Phil took the office.
There are no other statewide R candidates that are competitive, mostly lately because they are strong social conservatives, which doesn't fly with the large part of the electorate.

I've been digging in to Fidium since my town is supposedly next on the list. I'm not sure the context of the Consolidated numbers provided here. Is that using their 50 Mbps plan? The 2 Gbps?
Reading /r/FidiumFiber, it looks like while some are able to get full 1Gpbs speeds, there are some equipment issues or congestion issues that could lead to slower speeds.

Some social scientists believe that America lost it's democracy after Citizens United with it's (un)intended consequences of unlimited Super PACs, dark money PAC, and no disclosure donations. It allowed the super rich like George Soros and Robert Uiline to drop hundreds of millions of dollars to affect elections like never before, essentially giving them the most "speech" from their grand pulpits.
We need to return all national political office to public financing and end PACs, since that's what allowed this fiasco. I don't blame any politician for taking unlimited dark money - hate the game, not the player

That's a nice article but nowhere in it does it support what you and Mr Viens are suggesting, which is POC police should only police POC. Instead what it says is that overall diversifying the ENTIRE police department has led to fewer minor crime arrests in minority areas. It also mentions women officers showed the same pattern, and the person featured in the article sums it up by saying:
> She and other local activists want to see more body cameras, community oversight of police, stringent use of force policies and more consequences for police officers who do harm while on the job.
I can't tell if you lack critical reading and argument skills, or if you're yet another bad faith troll.
Edit: I saw your other posts. You're definitely a bad faith troll.

Reply to Turn around time for Vermont Non-Driver ID? Need one for 18 year very soon to get on a airline flight. Can you get one in a day or two? by lavransson
I'm not sure about the DMV, but you could consider trying for an Urgent appointment at the Passport Center in St. Albans. They can process and have a passport set up same day, but getting an appointment tomorrow or Friday could be difficult.
Since it's for international travel, you'll need to show that you plan on going at least to Canada for a night. You can find a hotel reservation that's cancelable after the appointment to have that proof.

A sincere apology has multiple parts:
-
Expressing regret
-
Accept responsibility
-
Making restitution
-
Requesting forgiveness
-
Genuine promise of change
This guy's non-apology statement was along the lines of a toss off "I'm sorry if people were offended but..."

That's funny, the one room schoolhouse in my town only had a unisex outhouse, and it was used well into the 20th century.

You seem super obsessed with penises. You know, that's a strong sign of latent homosexuality.

> Refusal of services.
Businesses as struggling and I can't think of any that's in a place to turn down income from natives, transplants, refugees, transients, or hedge fund managers. Besides cutting off your nose to spite your face, this also has about as much of an impact as those idiots that have tried to get a general gas strike for a day - those turned away will just do their business elsewhere and the business is the only one hurt.
> State Electoral College
Because the national electoral college works so well! We have a bicameral system that's designed to give voice to the biggest population centers as well as equal representation across the state.
> Longer residency limits to run for office
That would be unconstitutional for national congresscritters. But for state reps, I would be in favor of raising residency requirements from 2 to 5. 10 years is unnecessarily long, and there are plenty of good representatives across the state who have lived here for fewer than 10 years. Term limits would be nice too.

The difference between Gaetz and Weiner is that the Dems forced the sex pest out.

Low education and low information voters are the Republican bread and butter. By denying a quality education to voters across the US they are cynically shoring up their base.
