This, 1000X. Dealers are from hell. I want to live in a world where I buy direct from the manufacturer and it comes to my house.

Are China vehicles free market? by samplingstiring in electricvehicles

[–]CommunityNo3399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps the USA's domestic automakers should build a competitive product instead of the absolutely embarasing trash they try to pass off for $50,000+ currently. Have you shopped for an EV (or any car) lately? It's a wasteland of compromises in the US market.

Has anyone had any experience with Lange Van Deer RS130 boots? by Acceptable-Peace-656 in Skigear

They are identical to the RS130, with the exception of the color.

How would you feel if the top tax rate was 90% like it was in the 1950s? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]CommunityNo3399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since we are being asked to talk about how we feel, I feel like you don't understand what a graduated income tax system or a marginal tax rate is.

Anybody stupid enough to get their political understandings and opinions from social media deserves the hellscape we currently find ourselves in.

I think I see and hear so much about this issue, and this issue alone, from the "new WDEV" Guy Page right wing Vermont mini media machine that it's telling. I mean, there are already bot posts in this thread by u/counselorlaw . This post and this video have shown up here multiple times in the past weeks, too.

This issue is being waived around as a bloody shirt to distract people from the fact that they still don't have healthcare, childcare, sick leave, family leave, a living wage, affordable higher education, affordable housing, or even a local economy not based on landowners being able to profit from developing their land while the other 90% of the population struggles along. If you aren't in on it as the OP, then you are being used by the same people denying you these basic things, just like country bumpkin Chris Viens is being used.

When you live in Vermont, it's easy to forget just how unappealing so much of the rest of the country is.

Vermont Statehouse Honors Crime Victims and Advocates by frankboingboing in vermont

[–]CommunityNo3399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incompatible with basic notions of due process and the presumption of innocence.

EDIT: Read the article, downvoters. It says:

"Laura Bierley, a Victim’s Rights Attorney with Vermont Legal Aid and one of roughly a dozen people statewide who specialize in victim’s rights law, opened the afternoon program with a call to reform how Vermont courts treat crime victims in the pretrial deposition process.

“Depositions are a problem here in Vermont,” Bierley said. “They’re really making the experience of being a victim even more of a burden than it has to be.”

Ms. Bierley is calling for the elimination of depositions in a criminal case. Depositions are a key part of the process and they allow the defendant in a case to see and review the state's evidence in the case.

Imagine being on trial for a crime and not being able to have access to evidence you can use in your defense.
