No wonder the Newharts sold the inn and moved out of Vermont.

Well, as far as legal documents and so forth usually go, there are probably two seconds between them. Those would be the seconds between 11:59:59 pm on Dec. 31 and 12:00:01 am on Jan 1. Those are the common times that things usually begin or end whenever time is mentioned in a document.

A lot of climate change can happen in two seconds.

Looks like minus 20 years to me, that’s a lot of negative global warming.

When you have many $millions invested in a producing field you can’t just “stop producing there”. You have contracts to pay for leased equipment and to deliver product well into the future. It’s not unusual for wells to go through periods of income and loss. As I read it, this particular rip-off has been calibrated to not hit too hard at first but it will later. Some of the best paying jobs in the state may go away over time.

Yep...my first thought...shut down all operations in Vermont that may make oil companies liable under the law. Let them do without for awhile...they will change their minds. It’s awful cold in Vermont in the winter....

No. A democrat who ran as a republican and betrayed his voter base.

VT is so cuckoo liberal that Stalin is a centrist and anyone to the right of him is *hard right*.

This is the state that gave us Bernie Sanders and Howard Dean. Vermont also was the first state to legalize gay marriage.

How much would it cost the oil companies to stop delivering any products (gas, heating oil, etc) to the state? That’s what they should do.

They stated it backwards

The “OIL” companies should ask themselves one question.

How would I handle this if it were 1964?

I’ve long thought to myself when someone tells me “I’m from Vermont” that I’m talking to a weirdo.

Vermont is left like most New England states are.

Been there a few times (work related) didn’t like it.

The oil companies need to wait until the Arabs and Muzzies pay Vermont their share first and then refuse to allow any of their products to be sold in the Vermont sh*thole.

They also approved digital currency legislation.
The Republicans in congress fund every Obama biden agenda without hesitation.
