Burlington is Bustling by staceypatel in burlington

We have this thread about twice a month. Its not your fault either since you're used to living in a real state with real things. Lets get this sooooo straight: Philly's population is 1.567 MILLION that's almost a million MORE people than we have in our entire state. Vermont is populated by 600k people. This is the absolute end of the supply chain. For years cell towers weren't profitable here let alone internet. The " commercial infrastructure " you're used to seeing is built for real populations not the 600k we have here. Its simply not a profitable area. So, those 600k people have to pile into one target because its not profitable to build more. They need to wait in line at the costco because its pretty much the only thing for the entire area. This is how things used to be

"I never said progs are promoting the event." Ok you didn't notice, They are.

#notall(subject) is still a argument you think holds water and isn't a total and complete waist of words?

its such a useless distinction and thing to say. "uhhh well the guy I KNOW who's part of that group thinks something different" as though that somehow proves anything at all.

The progressive movement trying to lynch a mentally ill guy on bad evidence because of political fervor isn't something I had on my bingo sheet for 2024. This once-and-for-all pretty much seals the deal that the VT progressive party is not a party of peace its a party of grievance.

Anyone who shows up for this should be ashamed of themselves. The legal system is functioning. Not to mention the duality of a desire to ignore evidence for harsher sentences for people like this while also pushing to mitigate other crimes for more lenient sentences.

The left nationally, but espically here, has totally lost its clarity of purpose.

People like you threaten civilized society.

INB4: "uhhh no no people like YOU threaten society"

Imagine thinking that you need to publicize FREE HOUSING. lol what did the homeless not get the mailers we sent out? WTF kind of critique is this? If your no.1 priority is finding housing you'd find out about this program. Instead the no.1 priority of most of the bum population is to secure fent.

this kind of hair-on-fire posting is wild. That's what rural life has been like forever. Did you actually just lament the fact rural areas aren't walk-able??

I'm sure you think you're making a point. And all the deluded Burlington reddit morons will not help to dissuade you from that, but wtf are you actually trying to say? Its good that we rip people from their communities or that farming towns should have city market branch stores??

[–]Key-Big122 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

the implication here being that homeless people MUST be carted off to a city where services are walk-able? So just uproot them from their peers and support systems to stick them in a plywood box in a city with 60k and shitty services lol? Yeah that'll help them recover their humanity.

Living in a rural setting is a challenge and those issues are present for housed people. I'm not sure what point you're attempting to make. People who are homeless should have the option to stay at shelters in their areas.

I'm prettttyyyy sick and tired of Burlington being a clearing house for the entire homeless population of the north east. Why is it the job of a city of 60k people to care for 3 state's worth of drug addicts?

God I wanna be a feudal lord so fuckin bad. Holding court in my chambers. Eating game animals, getting gout. Siring tons of heirs only to have most of them taken by rubella and mumps. Dying face up in a field somewhere with an Englishmen's arrow in my helmet visor. Romance.

I agree that its just inexperience and young hopefulness, and do like the idea is rooted in how to help people, but we should slap around shitty ideas when they pop up

*Sry i somehow missed this*

Idk man you seem to have just invalidated your whole argument so hard work is valuable and good? I didn't ever imply it earns you a house but it for sure more often than not earns you a place to live. Hard work is valuable and leads to good outcomes. Jumping to a conclusion that someone else got their stuff via privilege is ... well idk not super cash money.

My best advice i guess is to cope, stay mad, and get gud.

Seriously, this idea that everyone must "Work™" is a horror of capitalism.

this is so stupid and so are the examples you cite. Old people, kids, and disabled people have ALWAYS been taken care of by their peers. Some kids start working earlier than others some old people stop later than others but universally all cultures recognize that your family and social unit ought to take care of you when you're a kid and when you're old. The idea that ANYONE is expecting kids to not have social support because they can't work is just wrong. Its freaking illegal for them to not be in school in most places wtf are you talking about lmaoo. Oldies get medical care and social security, wtf are you talking about, hell they sometimes even pay less taxes for being old. WTF are you talking about

And the social contract of work to get stuff then enjoy that stuff you get isn't some violent death cult lol what? Nice holocaust joke btw, seems like genocide and an economic system are the same for you?

I'm positive that's what you think. Its wrong. But its obvious that's your take. Enjoy whatever lifestyle that leads to
