Yeah, 100% agree with you. Management, especially middle management, is the first thing that can be fully replaced.

People need to stop pretending that publications like NYDN etc. from Media News Group are news.

People used to understand they had an individual responsibility to keep other people within the bounds of "decent".

I'm now imagining historians reading a secondary source and uncritically believing it 100%.

Both are equally ridiculous. Any kind of academic is always going to have to read actual cited sources to trust anything.

It doesn't. AI is better than the plaque. The phone having alternatives is another option. Enjoy walking around yelling things and thinking that's you having a conversation.

I'm curious for your take on why the General Assembly and voters let this happen? I fear the answer is complacency combined with stupidity/refusal to pay a minimum amount of attention.

But now that multiple crises are clear, why aren't we just fixing the problems? I am a transplant.

I suggest you go back and read the two posts you’re replying to.

I suggest this because your reply has nothing to do with them.

So many upside down incentives. Second homes should be taxed more, not less. 88 towns now have higher homestead than non homestead. Unoccupied second homes are a drain on local economies AND tax base.

Vt is only 1 of 10 states to restrict local funding to (flat) property taxes only.
