Reply to comment by [deleted] in What questions do you have related to the Trump indictment? by bravestatevt
Another man has ALREADY BEEN CONVICTED of the same series of events.
Trump was the unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the first individual (Mr Cohen) and only avoided prosecution due to the US Justice Department prohibition against indicting a sitting president.
This case is the easiest case to prosecute given all the evidence that is available.

Reply to Doesn't r/vermont deserve better? by RamaSchneider
It was town matter that the town handled. I've got my own reasons for disliking Scott. But this would be a waste of the governor's time. What would be the benefit of him being there? I know you just want to get downvoted and fight with strangers, but I'll take the bait. I don't see how Scott going 3 plus hours by car to hold hands about the scary gun club man being intimidating and annoying benefits the state as a whole so explain how it does like I'm five years old.

No, that's a private religious school that does NOT receive public funding. Our tax dollars do not go to those schools. And this bill only applies to schools that receive public funding, so it has nothing to do with the private religious schools!

Not sure. But other states have different tolls depending on if the driver has an EZ Pass from that state or an EZ Pass from another state or no EZ Pass.
The NY State Thruway, Albany to Buffalo... If you have a NY State EZ Pass the toll is $12.18. If you have an EZ Pass from another state the toll is $14.02. If you don't have an EZ Pass the toll is $15.84.

Oh no they aren’t… they are normal. But it also impacts schools like the one that just forfeited it’s basketball season because they hate LGBT people and those kids are on a path to being little adolfs.

So what’s your solution? Round up over 400 million guns from the 99.9%+ of Americans that are law abiding gun owners? Because he wouldn’t even get a small fraction in there and still be a similar number of guns on the streets in the hands of criminals.

Please explain the process. Or. An indictment in secret provides evidence most favorable to the government (DA). This DOES not mean he is guilty just means a bunch of people during a secret decided based on partial evidence (no exculpatory evidence) that there is enough to bring a charge.

Considering the number of people that don't want to work that are here but want to live here, it seems like an impasse to me. I'm gonna work till the day I die but I'm also able to afford to live here because I work

I mean, it sounds like this bill is intended to address exactly this situation, and I am sorry that happened to you. But I don't think it's fair to call kids that attend St. Johnsbury, Lyndonville, Burr and Burton, Thetford, "little Adolfs". These are just normal Vermont kids from normal Vermont families.

Can you point to those eviction rules? My mom also swears this is a thing but I see people evicted in all parts of VT throughout the winter. Maybe it's a utility shut off thing, not eviction?

That works in theory. In practice no town in VT would allow it to be built. Look at what happened with the woodside replacement. No one will agree to it.

Simply saying it ‘Dissuades people’ doesn’t speak to the motivations of why people would build affordable housing do in the first place, which is profits. As long as there is a profit motive, housing will remain a privilege to those who can afford it and this it not a unique problem to our state and our regulations.

But I don’t give a shit… if you get state money, you should be turning out kids who are educated in a way that fits the states norms and values. And you should be accepting all kids who want to attend. I don’t think that the semi-private schools that are the main school for their town are at any kind of risk. I haven’t read the law, but compliance with state education standards seems like a pretty base level expectation. As a kid who had school choice, chose SJA, but had an 504 plan, SJA refused to accept me unless I had a true IEP which came with more money for them. Through some testing and other crap I was given an IEP, and attended SJA for a total of 6 weeks before they decided that I wasn’t a fit, and I got sent to a different school. They take state money, fuck them treating kids who learn differently like they are fucking diseased. What those schools fail to do is support kids who have LDs, and that’s a disservice to the kids, some of whom will grow out of those issues, and support in those years is imperative in their future success. Luckily for me after 18 months of bouncing I landed in a public high-school that set me up for college, and I’m now an adult with a career. But a lot of kids who get cast aside by these schools don’t get that support, or don’t do well through the uncertainty.

If we had California wages it would be different. That's the difference between CA and VT. Problem in VT is the legislature assumes everyone gets a check from their parents.

This state needs tax revenue to accommodate all the broadband updates that are required for small towns to have good Internet so people can work from home. If they weren’t offering to pay for people to move here to work from home we wouldn’t need the revenue. The people running this state are greedy idiots

Same boat here. I'm out as soon as my parents are healthy enough for me to leave. There's nothing but old rich people here, it's pretty miserable.

Does Emilie Kornheiser own a business? No but her parents probably do. It's a bunch of out of state rich kids, which certainly makes sense in VT.
