I keep getting them for all different states. I liked r/vermont, so how about r/connecticut, r/nevada, I think got an r/indiana, too.

No, it looks like you're still a shitty person. Be better than that.

Looks like from his FB page’s public posts he’s down the Q rabbit hole quite a bit- major influences/offenses include Hunter Biden Laptop, Child Trafficking and Fauci/COVID Conspiracy rumor vectoring. Minor influences include brotheism, Libertarianism, and bootstrap/hustle culture bullshit. (The minors here aren’t deal-breakers standalone but they usually do imply the majors right?)

I always thought this too. This is just a lehman’s experiment, but it shows that 4wd stops quicker than fwd.

Mixed bag for sure. I’m not convinced all the abusive fuckers were fired over the past few years, but at least we got the cops out of the schools, (for now anyway) unlike many towns our size/MAGA makeup. Writing the whole town off would be a real time-saver right? That would gloss over the advisory panel efforts and mental health crisis worker on department duty. As observed elsewhere looks like St. A got hamstrung by the state on this one.

Not the best comparison IMO. Yes, WV and VT have mountains and are rural, but I don’t see a lot of similarities beyond that. Sure there are pockets of poverty in VT, but nothing like what you see in most of WV. Way more recent wealth in VT (folks who’s wealthy city parents moved here in the 70s-90s plus the recent Covid surge). Major tourism and strong $ influence from Boston and NYC.
The comparison might have fit 50 years ago with manufacturing and farming running VT’s economy, but it’s been a playground for the affluent for awhile.

I’m just pointing out that we are such a rural,small town state. Totally honest question and I totally relate. We made a big deal when Dunkin’ came to town.

It would make that Facebook group on messaging Taco Bell to be in Burlington that much more interesting.

I also heard it was going to be a taco bell. But that may just be group think. Fingers crossed though.

This is almost a cliche r/vermont post —because it’s so Vermont.

They had staffing issues for a long time. I heard several times they only had 1 employee doing everything.

Wet snow. No bueno for backcountry skiing. I'd stick to ski resorts that can augment with manufactured pow.
Unless you want to hurt yourself in the woods where you can't call 911.

It's not such a bad thing to try to keep local food production alive. Just because it is struggling doesn't mean that it should be abandoned.

I live in WV and am in that sub but get r/vermont (and r/newhampshire) in my “similar to” recommendations. “Close enough,” apparently.

KFC is just for entertainment, not for actual consumption.

other businesses don't have nearly the same problems that KFC/Taco Bell do, it's universal in New England I've noticed, I've tried to get stuff at 3 different Taco Bells in VT and in NH and they all are horrible. Yet at the same time I can goto another business like Moe's or Wendys or Burger King and get in and out in 10 minutes or less with food no problem, even during busy times.
There's something wrong with the regional Yum! Brands management here that's especially worse when it comes to organizing their stores and workforce.
