Is there anywhere to spend a day XC skinning right now?

Call this dude. He'll have contacts on jobs that may not be public yet as he'll know all the businesses.

Try VT creamery too. Similar to Ben and Jerry’s but easier to work for as there isn’t the heavy hand of unilever looming over the factory all the time.

One of my favorite things about Vermont is actually that people who love shopping live elsewhere.

They’re missing the fact that Vermont possesses a heady dose of libertarianism hence the lack of gun laws

She might also be referring to the fact that even though we are known as a "liberal-leaning" state, that that's not entirely true. It's easy to hide all the racism and homophobia when you live in one of the least diverse states. Either way, Traditional_Lab had it right. Without knowing them or the nurse, we have no way of knowing what she meant.

This ^. The folks running the towns, cities, and state are not from VT and seem to be mostly ladder climbers and virtue signalers. Shit, our congressional delegation isn't even from here.

Somebody told me the state vape tax, in addition to the excise and sales taxes, also applies to THC cartridges and whatnot. Anybody know if that’s true?

What did she mean? Coming from SD, probably "dirty liberal hippies."

She is, however, grossly misinformed. We've got plenty of clean hippies too!

We have a home in Vermont...we are proud GODDAMNED FLATLANDERS...Vermont is a fascinating place. An extremely liberal place, with a fundamental dedication to the Constitution's 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. A truly interesting dichotomy.

From our experience, the people that live in Vermont are wonderful. Some of the folks I know don't LOVE outsiders. And as underpopulated as Vermont is, it's one of the most LIVE AND LET LIVE AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS places I've ever been.

I'm reminded of the song IOWA STUBBORN from THE MUSIC MAN. Definitely applies to our Vermont family!

We can be cold
As our falling thermometers in December
If you ask about our weather in July.
And we're so by God stubborn
We could stand touchin' noses
For a week at a time
And never see eye-to-eye.
But what the heck, you're welcome,
Join us at the picnic.
You can eat your fill
Of all the food you bring yourself.

I feel bad particularly because we wasted hundreds of dollars to buy ski passes for our kids that they won't get to use. Definitely not getting our money's worth this year. And honestly, I'll be hesitant to spend that money next year.

Depending on your experience, Turtle Fur is hiring. RK Miles needs people who can drive a forklift, though that one looks like there may be some interactions with customers when pulling orders. Seven Days usually has some great job listings that I don't see elsewhere.

Thank you I didn't know about that place! That's now the closest place to me, I appreciate the comment!

So neat! It’s so surreal going there and thinking about the amount of history it holds

Apparently the troops walked behind my house on their way there

You guys have snow? We got mud

I’ll let you know. People who grew up here in poverty and are now raising a family here do not fit in with the 40 something’s who moved here from the city to raise their privileged children away from crime and the rat race. We all coexist. However, we do not all mesh and often do not appreciate one another. We are a wide variety of folks from many walks of life. You may see a single wide on a tiny plot near a dairy farm not too far from a glorious home that owns half the mountainside and the couple who owns it pulls over half a mil annually. Basically, the actual people from here, are not the people who step into roles that represent the state on various municipal boards and sub committees in Montpelier… etc. and we do have a lot of smaller SM influencers making money in various ways digitally.

I’m a libtard, myself

Also thank you!

July 2019 and just an iPhone! I think it was an iPhone 11

And don't forget traffic. Except for Burlington and Stowe (when it actually snows), there is little to no traffic.

Image would have been better without those other people and the dog in it. They distract from the composition and do not add anything to the final image. I'm assuming you took this with your phone and not a real camera, right?

When was this photo taken. What camera and lens did you use?

Otherwise..."Cool Story Hansel."

Vermont has all types of people from all walks of life, theres hippies and crunchies and farmers and rednecks and backwoods hics and doctors lawyers flatlanders and liberals and conservatives. Just dont impose your views on Vermonters and people do what they want and enjoy a peaceful quite life

What makes you think liberal-democrats aren’t racist? Have you been to Jericho???
