Even in the face of international opposition, we moved Afghanistan into a post-Taliban era. We showed the world what it meant to stand up for human rights. And in just two weeks, Joe Biden caused 20 years of sacrifice and service to crumble to the ground.
Children are untouched by the virus, but they are taking a beating from policies like universal masking that have been ostensibly enacted to confront it. Why must they endure abusive madness?
Proponents of CRT are fragile when shown that they are racists, groundlessly attacking their own ancestors, neighbors and nation for a fabricated, patently-false narrative that fuels a faddish political ideology.
The White House may have thought abandoning Afghanistan was low-risk. Biden may have thought Americans didn’t care — but he forgot that Americans also don’t like to be lied to. They don’t like to be humiliated. They don’t like to have their safety and security jeopardized.
The Climate Council would be wise to include asking the Legislature to modify the Global Warming Solutions Act to address issues resulting from weather extremes in its recommendations in the Climate Action Plan. The “solutions” cannot be all about technology and buying more stuff.
I give the Vanguard project a gold star for its solution to the phosphorus problem and its contribution to energy efficiency.
I dislike seeing the military used to accomplish local and state government responsibilities. But, it is time for Burlington’s mayor to request the governor send the Vermont National Guard to Burlington and have it augment the city’s shrinking and overwhelmed police force.
Industrial agriculture offers one of the most important areas for humans to reduce fossil fuel consumption. But the focus on cows — and meat in general — is largely misplaced.
As an attorney, I will note that you are playing a dangerous game, for while you state that “people have the right to not vaccinate,” you also state that anti-vaccine stance is “nonsense.”
From July of 2019 through June of 2020, there were 308 cases of assault. In just a year since the budget cuts, assault cases are up by 16 percent. Property crimes are on the rise too. And we’re seeing the number of shootings increase as well.
No, I will likely never get vaccinated with any COVID products, now that I see just how far the COVID fear-mongers are willing to go to violate rights using quack science and even quackier legal “theories.”
People can quit (their jobs) if they don’t want to get vaccinated. Want unemployment insurance? Take the jab. Want to defer your student loan payments? Get special covid renters assistance? Have help with your utility bills? Get your shot!
