I like it. Not a re-tread and the protections we have lost under trump are terrible.

It's still more than double the state rate - ~25% vs. ~11%. Someone should remind the junior Senator from Vermont of that.

There should be some form of subsidy to help with this.

1) People should not be allowed to dump their sewage in the manner she is.

2) If they can't afford it, there should be subsidies in place.

In my area it is illegal to do what she is doing. Thankfully.

Much less than 15K. It's her own sewage. She can't afford to replace her septic tank so she straight piped her sewage pipes out into the yard. It would be an illegal act in my area.

I don't think mold was mentioned in the video.
