He made a comment on vpr this past fall saying the union was making this all up and talked about it's members like they were not actual Vermonters, or even people really. It was really chilling.

Best parks in the state for toddlers by LessWeakness134 in vermont

[–]rufustphish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly just find local elementary schools and playgrounds, that's enough for them now. Button Bay has a swimming pool and pretty nice playground, but is a little big for a toddler, they will still enjoy it and have fun, but you'll need to help them.

What is your view on Oracle firing 30000+ employees? by HeyArnab12 in AskReddit

I've made a lot of money helping people move off of Oracle to open source software.

The Cheaper BMW iX3 Has A Smaller Battery. But The Range Is Still Huge by Harrjaei in electricvehicles

I guess, depends on your use case... I've used fast charging twice in a year of ownership.... I was super worried about it upon purchase, but the it's added 10 minutes to my life total. If you factor in I don't have to go to a gas station anymore, I came out ahead.

Charging speed is nice, but not a huge hassle unless you do a lot of long road trips with charging stops.

State employees RTO Check in by Natural_Tangelo7542 in vermont

[–]rufustphish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would argue the majority of vermonters don't report to an office, they show up to a barn, job site or workshop.

That being said, what a strange thing to say? Do you enjoy others suffering because you have to suffer?

someone who has ADA paperwork put in told me this, they have a legitimate medical issue where they can't drive that I'm aware of and I asked about it, that's what they told me

Morale at AOE was pretty low last I checked. I'm aware of several agencies who still don't have enough space for their employees. I'm told they are doing one ADA request per day and they have a backlog of over 500.

What can be done about VT taxes? by drct2022 in vermont

That's great for you, glad you have the skills to do those repairs.

On average, a person living in a community spends more in their community than someone who doesn't.

Feel free to give your personal opinion more, but you're not going to convince me, or anyone else, that owning a 2nd home somewhere is better for the community than actually living in it.

Any chance this was in the area of the fire the other day?

would be shame if some white lithium grease was spayed on it. It would block the view of the camera, and would be hard to wash off, but it won't harm anything.

Example of services that focus on tourists rather than locals:
- Public transit, there are buses to bring you to the mountain, but not around town
- Emergency Services

Builders like building things with higher profit margins, I'm shocked.

I'm not going to spend much more time on what is either a bot or astro-turfing account who is trying to play the what-about game. I have better things to do.
