I'm not well versed in tax laws, ill see if I can find it. I'm pretty sure it has to do with living here less than 6 months out of the year.

Not when no one is left to work, and not while second homes and vacation homes have loopholes on taxes based on how many months out of the year you live there. Never underestimate the ability of wealthy people to dodge paying their share.

I dont recommend it. That was my attitude. I'm now 33, there are no decent paying jobs and all my friends have moved away or taken their own lives. Lots of us go down with it trying our best to make it better and never see it do anything but change to push us out.

God I'm so sick of this. Our state is being ruined by the wealthy buying property for rentals and second homes, but the tax gets put on people trying to get to work in a state that REQUIRES personal transport to live in. Here goes the last of our dwindling population of youthful workers.

Be careful. Someone else on this page found a picture of the car from a license plate spotter. The car has a Betsy Ross flag on the bumper. Could be an innocent flag sticker, but that flag is used now by "the three percenters" an alt right militia group. They use it with and without the roman numeral 3 in the ring of stars. Just beware the person could be armed, looking for confrontation and LARPs GI Joe every weekend.

Just be aware, the sticker on the bumper may just be a Betsy Ross flag, but now people tend to specifically use that flag as a 3% symbol. I can't tell if it has the Roman numeral 3 in the center. Or it may just be a fan of Betsy Ross (unlikely), but beware he's probably armed and looking for confrontation.

Yea, im I gun owner and target shoot but fuck I hate that "I want an excuse to shoot something" attitude. I'd really rather not have to hike my property with a gun. It's not comfortable.

Reply to comment by Eagle_Arm in In honor of the new Harry Potter game coming out, consider donating to a local LGBTQ+ organization by explosivebuttfarts
The point isn't harry potter, the point is "here are local programs you can donate to". Riding a current trend for exposure of a good cause seems fine to me. Taking issue with it feels more like trying to undermine the sentiment rather than actually being upset about harry potter not being a Vermonter.

I dont think it actually is either, more likely just a "spread fear" move. I doubt anything is actually gonna happen.

Well, I don't think people being poisoned is the problem but we could look into it.

Its either some idiot having "fun" or a domestic terrorist doing a test run to cause panic and keep police busy is my guess. This going out combined with the electric grid going down (they did test runs of that already by shooting sub stations) would basically shut the country down. Prime setup for a Jan.6 type event.

They proved they dont need an EMP. Couple rifle shots have been taking down the grid. It really does all feel like planning and practicing...

I can, but it then gets hit with the vape tax as far as I know and doubles in price. Cones are already expensive enough for a pack of paper...

The other huge pain is that bill also made it impossible to order rolling papers... I'm handicapped and can't roll so I used to buy big packs of cones and use raws "six shooter". Its just not an option anymore. Websites literally won't let me ship it to Vermont.

Or waited years to do it... Imagine how much we could have taken in in taxes if we did it when Colorado did like the people of Vermont wanted...

Reply to comment by johneerottn2dacore in Off duty Vermont police officer shot by police for refusing to drop gun by VermontArmyBrat
What slippery slope? This is the first time a cop shot someone in Saratoga in 26 years. That's a pretty good run. And who cares if hes a cop, he was brandishing a gun and refusing to drop it. He should know better than anyone else what happens when you aim a gun at cops. This really just goes to show how unqualified Vermont Sheriffs are... What are you trying to "turn around"? This isnt like some drug or crime wave, just a dumb cop.
