Hype for the Future 54L: Traffic Network in Vermont

Overview

Of the fourteen (14) counties in the State of Vermont, Lamoille is the only county lacking any of the United States Numbered Highways (2, 4, 5, 7, and 302) associated with the State, though all ten (10) towns in the County are served by state routes such as Routes 12, 15, 100, 108, 109, and 118. The legal load limits are often 24,000 pounds on county-maintained and lesser routes, though many of the state routes can not actually be identified as truck routes in any meaningful way, often resulting in the creation of the occasional bypass routes specifically to serve truck traffic.

While Interstate Highways and United States Highways often exist to serve the truck traffic throughout the State of Vermont, most of the commercial traffic does not actually connect to Vermont at the beginning nor at the end, often having the State as a middle ground, typically between the southern New England states and New York to the south and Québec to the north, though the traffic from New York bound to Québec, Canada, will often be routed through the Plattsburgh area en route to Montréal.

Truck traffic is significantly less frequent in the east-west direction, especially since the State of Vermont maintains a localist culture and a preference for businesses in Vermont to stay rurally bound within the State of Vermont. However, the United States Highways of the east-west direction—Routes 2, 4, and 302—may occasionally seem to serve commercial purposes, though only in limited circumstances (Montpelier to Barre on Route 302, Montpelier to Burlington on Route 2, and around Rutland on Route 4).

Hype for the Future 43H: All Profit is Bad

Profit is the antithesis of life. Without life, profit can continue to accumulate, yet the contradictions forced by the maintenance of the status quo require life to continue to thrive. Survival as a species is dependent on allowing other species to survive on equal footing, and modern society does not allow such behaviors to occur in real life. The real world that currently exists is in crisis, and every activist in modern society has experienced shame at least at some point earlier in life. Therefore, clarity is always of the utmost importance in order to promote a moneyless society, free from all corporate and private influence and entirely in public hands and control.
