Reply to comment by [deleted] in Northfield's Police Chief Takes Flak for His Provocative Public Stances by BudsKind802

I’ve read this thread. You raise some reasonable and valid points. I disagree with your general stance in that I don’t believe this is an instance where a boy was taking advantage of the rule where he can use the locker room of the gender she identifies as.

If I thought was the case I would have a different opinion. If I thought someone was taking advantage of that policy to see a boob I would say that is an issue that needs to be addressed regardless of how they identify.

I don’t really care if you are concern trolling or whatever it was called. You asked for a good faith engagement, I hope my response offered one.

Seems like it checks all the boxes. We tend not to be as shitty as your troll implies you are though.

STR make up slightly less than 2.5% of total housing stock in the state. That includes summer camps and rooms in homes. STR is the distraction you are being sold to not get you to look at the real problem which is endemic multigenerational rural poverty and state regulations which make owing a business and employing people in this state more difficult then most places.

Our schools are near that top in spending but educational testing for basic math and reading puts our state at about the middle of the country. VT tax burden puts it at number 47 in the country (1 being the best). The answer is not banning STR the answer is changing the laws and tax structure to not hate the middle class so much.

VT is great if you are poor and great if you are rich. Those of us in the middle are generally fucked.

I agree, I’m intrigued. The second part was a bit ranty for my taste but I would love to see the hard data on the first part.

I would also point out that if the meteor that drove the last big extinction event didn’t kill all life on the planet, neither will nuclear war.

To quote Jurassic park, life finds a way. It may look different but nothing humans can do will kill all life, maybe a lot, maybe all human life, but in another few million years something else will adapt and evolve and all that plastic and poison pumped into the planet will be gone.

Gotcha.

The state doesn't have the resources to have all testing in house. This self reporting is a very common practice in all agricultural practices across the state.

It sucks some people got sick but imagine the costs of weed if that needed to offset state employees doing all the testing at a state run lab.

Reply to comment by SevenSparrowsSing in Vermont Public School Teachers- What Are Your Concerns? by Primary-Cap-3147

My mother was a public school teacher, mine for many years. She always ended up spending her own money on class supplies. There is a lack of money and eventually they told her to stop writing her own curriculum and teach what was in the packet. That and no child left behind made her decide she had enough teaching.

Well, you did call him a liar for a trend that was noticed by many during the 2020 primary. The rest of his post was opinion and I don’t agree with it but the language change was enough to be reported on. Here is one example.

I think the general observation is two fold to be honest. I dont really care how much money he has. I do think it is kinda funny his answer was write a best selling book and you can be a millionaire too. Yeah man, that’s how a consumer driven economy works. That is the definition of capitalism. Produce a product lots of people want and you can get rich. This is exactly what Gates, Musk, and Bezos did.

The second part, the language pivot looks bad even if his core message remains the same. Like if your stump speech rallies against a socioeconomic class you suddenly become a part of, then you drop that class from your speech, it makes you look a little hypocritical.

You would have been downvoted anyway always cite sources when you can. At least make the knee jerk “that’s not true” less likely.

I didn't look up where you live. You went off when someone called Rutland shitty and I remembered as I trolled you witch Rutland having the second highest crime rate in the state and you got all in a tizzy. I figured it worked once, may as well try again.

As for you examples, you are describing an accident not reckless driving and your 100% claim is 100% wrong.

Ohhh... And Rutland is shitty.

You are wrong. Maybe In a place like Rutland where people are uncivilized they automatically revert to some antiquated rule akin to burning witches because ducks float or something like that but in the rest of the world, that is not the case. In fact in The rest of non Rutland Vermont you are considered the victim of road rage and the person who intentionally caused an accident can be charged with reckless driving.

Please, explain how a person charged with reckless driving, accident resulting is not at fault?
