Wait really?? By what metric? There are plenty of micro climates out west that avg 500+ inches of snow a year.
I imagine California has more snow in the sierras than all of VT at a given time also.

Well farmers are taking about 80% of our water to farm in a desert and are incentivized to waste as much as possible. Pretty safe to say when push comes to shove, water rights will change and the salt lake will fill back up again.
Also its looking like climate change is making winter storms more extreme which makes the high desert a winner since our water is reliant on big winter dumps rather than year round consistency. A lot of unknowns, but I would rather still have a winter than be riding in the rain like ya'll right now.

12 here in salt lake today, storm total is hoping for 75+ in the mountains.
​
I loved VT but I need consistent winter and the low elevation of the east cant be overcome. Trade off is air quality here sometimes but whatevs. Probably had 5 days in 3 years I couldnt run outside due to air.

I don’t think you understand what senators do. All senators have huge teams of aids. And those aids have lobbyists to help with the pull of doing their job in many cases.
Also you don’t debate each other every day in the senate. Any “debating” they do is written speech they get to do in almost all cases. Whether it be speaking on legislation, or interviewing candidates on panels.
The American political debate format is hilarious and stupid to start. It takes a sharp wit for sure but discussing the economic crisis in Venezuela in 30 seconds is impossible to actually get into.
So if senators roles were to sell you a solution on global inflation in 30 seconds or less, than Oz is the choice. Too bad the point isn’t to be a snake oil salesman to things that don’t have 30 second solutions.

He can have aides that can translate and help. He still can listen and talk as proven last night. Can he keep up in a debate with a tv personality doctor? No, not many people are that smart. But Fetterman isn’t a grifter who spent his career lying to people so he will never be as fast as Oz.

In fairness that’s standard for getting your party nomination. It’s more abnormal to be like mastriano who has not pivoted to appeal to moderates after the primary.
I’m more concerned that he was a successful doctor who somehow needed something extra and chose to be a grifter on tv hawking snake oil. Just like now, he married into Extreme wealth but still needs something extra. No doubt he is just being a grifter again

Oz for many reasons.
Names the one reason which is not valid at all.
Any job would have to make reasonable accommodations to a stroke victim, the senate can also.

Well a simple google search also told me earth was flat but I know that’s not true because it contradicts others facts.
Like the fact that even the high desert states like Wyoming could contain more snow at a given time, not to mention mountain ranges….
So whatever that statement is based on is using some creative metrics.
Biggest one is the fact that eastern Snow doesn’t stick around nearly as late either…. There are literal glaciers out west that never melt, even in Nevada.
