Reusable Grocery bags have a larger carbon footprint than thin-film plastic bags, but Greens demand we switch. They also spread deadly diseases and bacteria from food (outside the current hysteria I’ve dubbed virus-socialism). All of which Vermont has decided to ignore.
It’s hard to believe Vermont continues to be ahead of us on this. Their Republican Gov. (Phil Scott) would typically make Chris Sununu look a lot more ‘Republica.’ But Gov. Scott is already opening indoor dining. Beginning Monday, Restaurants will be able to seat to 25% of capacity.
A little over a week ago, we shared the good news from the state, just a step to our Left. Vermont’s “republican” governor announced a plan to begin reopening the state.
While we’re trying to get Gov. Sununu to open up the ‘Public Health Trumps Everything’ State of NH, Gov. Scott, just a step to our left, announced VT will begin loosening restrictions tomorrow.
Early on in this ridiculous virus police-state nonsense, I posed a question. Where do you confine people for violating the stay-at-home order if it’s unjust to confine people who might then get the thing (in confinement) for which we are all being told to say home?
Last night we learned that stores in Vermont had been instructed to prohibit the sale of vegetable seeds because of the pandemic. Part of that report included my failed effort to find the provenance. A reader just sent it to me. And it’s not just vegetable seeds.
Vermont is not letting this crisis go to waste. It appears to have ordered stores to prohibit the purchases of an item it deems non-essential. Vegetable seeds. You read that right. No starting a home garden by order of the State!
Another trashbin bailout bill is making its way through congress. Democrats made fools of themselves blocking an earlier version to stuff it with unrelated left-wing garbage. But now that this sh*t show is on the road to the House Sen. Shaheen is claiming victory. Not so fast.
By one vote the Vermont House overrode Gov. Phil Scott’s veto of a bill to arbitrarily increase the state’s minimum wage. Legislators, it seems, know better than job creators what any starting hour of labor is worth across every profession. That’s fine. They just did New Hampshire a huge favor.
Vermont is very progressive. Bernie is after all their US Senator (can anyone name the other one?) The state fully embraced Obamacare, the exchanges, Medicaid Expansion, and developed its own oversight provider network. And it loses gobs of money every year.
