So you're worried about out of state tourists when you're facing the damaging effects of climate change in Vermont?
You think this is a joke? Ice fishing season used to start late September and now it's almost December but the lakes aren't frozen.

Excellent write up. Please consider running for office. I'm sick of meme candidates and eagle face litterers everywhere.

.... and in turn Vermonters lash out at the wrong people.
Meanwhile the legislature should be the first people getting the brunt of the heat.

Connecticut and Massachusetts are really screwed. Don't forget New York as well.
Vermont and Maine will be fine. In hindsight, the deal with Quebec is looking like a life saver.

Universal basic income? Guaranteed housing for every Tom, Dick and Harry too?
How to lose an election should be the title of your manifesto... Comrade. Lol

Lol. You think minimum wage increase will solve the problem?
The only way housing/rental costs can go down is by building more units. As long as Burlington does not incentivize more units being built, it's just a race to the highest bidder and then you'd need another minimum wage hike in 5 years.

I can't engage with you in good faith when you're comparing an idyllic sleepy state in America with Guatemala. And what is this contorted statistic about violent crime you keep repeating?
I have a feeling that you have an agenda.

We have the lowest crime rate in the nation. The nation includes new England. Are you picking and choosing data to fit a narrative?

Reply to comment by DicNavis in Hockey in Connecticut by poorlywrittenriffs
I agree. Allain is a good coach and the players respect him - - for good reason too, but the team has been slowly going downhill since 2015 even before covid.
Yale has never been past the quartfinal stages in ECAC championships since 2016 i believe, and the team has good talent so idk what the problem is frankly. I hear what you say about covid, but I don't think that's strong enough as an excuse for the performance.

Well the Yale hockey team (men and women) has been shit for years. The women's performance last year was a welcome surprise. The men's team sucks like they always have.
And yes, Hartford needs a hockey team.

A one way ticket to Baghdad is cheap this time of the year.

I'm not going to listen to someone denigrating climate scientists.
I ice fish, I ski, I skate. My favorite sport is hockey. My hobbies revolve around cold snowy weather and I'm worried about the future. I've seen changes from even when I was growing up.
Climate scientists are not using vague interpretations. We're on borrowed time regarding climate action.
The end.
