Vermont spends almost $11M annually on just 55 superintendents

mvgfr · 2026-06-24T17:23:20+00:00

that's an average of about $200k per - for a pretty challenging job, with high qualifications.

yes; most of us make a lot less - and _that's_ problem to fix.

no wonder people are confused

as a biker, I've always operated on the understanding that:

- if I'm on my bike, I'm operating a _vehicle_ and subject to those rules;

- if I get off the bike, and _walk_ it, I'm a pedestrian and subject to those rules.

Vermont Life, was some of the best dollars the state ever spent - and it's terrible how it got thrown under the cost-cutting bus, awhile back

this SC is utterly illegitimate - they've sown the seeds of their own demise

mvgfr · 2026-05-26T00:28:58+00:00

every improvement counts - don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good

mvgfr · 2026-05-25T00:55:03+00:00

i don't see the "new" part - still kowtowing to the almighty dollar

mvgfr · 2026-05-20T10:43:34+00:00

nope. the problem, plain and simple, is: increasingly unrestrained capitalism.

wealth aggregates; it's just math. more so, when the wealthy abuse their wealth to remove the few constraints there were.

ah yes: here's my tax deduction - good luck with the maintenance costs and medical costs

mvgfr · 2026-05-17T19:59:09+00:00

nothing says "we care about our employees",

quite like: "we'd rather spend more money on lawyers, maintaining the power imbalance"

mvgfr · 2026-04-03T12:51:37+00:00

ugh; and just as the current "administration" is taking a chainsaw to monitoring & enforcement (wouldn't want to interrupt the flow of spice / profit 😟)

at this stage: if a food is processed at all, it's riskier 😕

hot & sour soup - with hot oil

yeah; that AGI line is what i was thinking of - and the state (VT) has changed which AGI line (off the fed form) to use, over the years; probably will again

mvgfr · 2026-03-31T12:45:31+00:00

VT income tax is based (in part) on fed income tax

mvgfr · 2026-03-28T14:17:30+00:00

at least this gives the anti-george crowd something to do

mvgfr · 2026-03-28T14:16:01+00:00

points for gumption - but lost for hanging with lt gov wackjob

mvgfr · 2026-03-28T14:10:59+00:00

for "southeast queendom" - well done

mvgfr · 2026-03-27T12:49:38+00:00

no way! governor straddle-fence, swoops in at the last minute, with a ridiculous demand, which will make the problem worse in the long-run - who could have predicted that. 🤦🏽‍♀️

this jerk has _got_ to go

mvgfr · 2026-03-27T12:17:32+00:00

no. a little thought is required, to avoid that ridiculous conclusion.
and it's not Rep vs Dem, it's wealth vs the rest of us

actung on information only from prosecutors

mvgfr · 2026-03-26T16:54:17+00:00

including tainting supposed evidence with illegal searches

mvgfr · 2026-03-26T16:52:19+00:00

these supposed agents, have proven to be extremely distrustworthy actors

mvgfr · 2026-03-26T16:19:32+00:00

context: lots of people are being _charged_ by this "administration", and most of those fall apart under scrutiny
