Proposed Bill To Improve Tourism In Vermont during 2025 Summer of Stock Market Crisis
Any citizen can draft a proposed bill in Vermont, but only members of the Vermont General Assembly (the House of Representatives and the Senate) can introduce it for consideration.
The Vermont citizen needs to pray that any member of the House or Senate will be willing to introduce the bill.
It is proving to be a concerning statistic that in cities across the United States of America where homeless unsheltered people live, in view of tourists who cringe in sympathy, that this upsets tourists so much that they are now avoiding places where homeless people are suffering in plain sight.
Tourists want to have fun and be happy on their hard earned vacations, not feel guilty that they have homes and food and health insurance. It’s just not a vacation if they are made to feel so bad looking at dirty, unshowered, smelling, unclean, thirsty, hungry, cold and diseased homeless unsheltered people barely staying alive sleeping on the streets or parks in Vermont, close to turning green from frostbite on nights when temperatures drop too low.
Republican Governor Phil Scott appears to possibly suffer from a psychological disease of total lack of empathy, so we have to give him a reasonable accomodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act and not refer to this Bill in shocking words. A lack of empathy, or the difficulty understanding and sharing the feelings of others, can be a symptom of certain psychological conditions, including antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and even autism.
Shocking words upset emotionally disabled persons so we must not use terms like “help the homeless” or “house the homeless” for the Title of the Bill because these terms are so repugnant to fiscally conservative Republicans who lack the DNA for empathy, which is no fault of their own; so we must use fresh, new terminology to address the issue of suffering, homeless, unsheltered Vermonters.
Therefore, the Title of this new proposed Bill is:
IMPROVING TOURISM IN VERMONT
(1) The State of Vermont shall buy up all
“unrestricted land” for sale within a month
of this bill passing into effect. Preferred land
has a lot of trees that can be used for
lumber, and streams or rivers for water,
and fields to put tiny houses or cabins on.
(2) The State of Vermont shall itemize all of
the homeless, Unhoused Vermonters by
age, sexual identity, physical ability,
disease factors, and identify groupings
that are compatible, and this shall be done
immediately within a month of this bill
passing into effect.
(3) The State of Vermont shall not count
any homeless, Unhoused people after
one month passes of this bill going into
effect; and all of the people who appear
to be new in Vermont after that date shall
be given a bus ticket to Miami, Florida and
brought to the bus station on time.
(4) The State of Vermont shall create a work
program to build 1,000 or more tiny houses,
as many as are needed, and shall use prisoner
labor from the Corrections Department to help
offset the cost of labor. The Constitution of the
State of Vermont says that prisoners shall work
for the public, in view of the public. The state
shall hire Vermont lumberjacks to take down
wood to build log cabins or to cut and slice the wood
into boards to make the tiny houses. The Loggers
shall supervise the prisoners to assist and help.
This program will train prisoners to do valid work
and learn new useful skills working with tools.
(5) The purpose of this bill is to immediately
provide permanent housing to all unsheltered
homeless Vermonters who have been residing
in this state prior to enactment of this bill.
The smallest possible tiny houses or cabins
should be built. Women with children should
live on one piece of unrestricted land, and drug
addicts and alcoholics on a different one miles away.
Senior citizens can live in the closest piece
of unrestricted land located nearest to a hospital.
(6) The cost of buying unrestricted land and
hiring loggers and transporting prisoners back
and forth to work sites to build tiny houses and
cabins will be extremely cost-effective
compared to the hotel-motel program with
“wrap around services”,
because tourists will be happier and spend more
money here in Vermont and visit more often
when they don’t have to suffer emotionally looking
at homeless Vermonters suffering. Indigestion
does not lead to large restaurant bills.
(7) Providing temporary shelters with “wrap-around
services” is far more expensive than just buying
unrestricted land and building tiny houses and
cabins and putting an end to the problem of
homelessness in Vermont. The cost of sewage
or septic systems can be offset in the beginning
by out-houses. There’s nothing wrong with an
outhouse for a toilet. There’s nothing wrong with
going to the creek or stream or river with a bucket
to get water if a person is physically able.
Homeless people don’t need wifi or internet or
television. The luxuries of hotel-motel life are
simply not necessary.
(8) This bill will pay for itself by increasing tourism
to Vermont by making the state more beautiful.
The Vermont tourism department will be able to
advertise Vermont as the one state you can visit
and never see any homeless people. You can
enjoy guilt-free vacations to Vermont
even if you are Republican.
