Are you familiar with Ruby Ridge? I don't think we want that happening here.

So Rowling is performing hate speech and it's actively hurting Vermonters?
I'll assume, maybe a bad assumption, but I'll assume, 99.89% of Vermonters have never been forced to met her, read anything she's written that's hate speech, or had to listen to her talk.
So not sure how they are suffering from an author from Europe.

To suffer from the furtherance of hate speech, particularly from Rowling.

Reply to Tell me about Newbury, Eden, Isle la Motte, and Grand Isle, plz. (Considering a move from Randolph.) by peachboot828
Well I grew up in Newport (near Eden) and Lived in Groton (Near Newbury). Newbury area is nice, you'll probably end up in Woodsville NH for your groceries and hardware store runs but Montpelier is a reasonable drive for food/time out. Groton State forest is right around the corner and the Whites are really close for hiking/camping. You're close to 91 so a lot of the Upper Valley is accessible that way. The major downside is a lot of towns right around it are pretty dismal (Washington, Corinth, Wells River, Topsham), but the area is beautiful-not sure about the schools.
Eden seems more central but i think you'll end up driving further to get your groceries and other essentials- Johnson has a good grocery store now which is nice and you've got the college/Studio Center scene there. Similar to Newbury the towns nearby (Lowell, Belvedere, Irasburg) are pretty sad and Again guessing the schools are rough. Definitely an easier commute to Stowe though.

Along with eveyone else...
Im convinced covid plus stress will continue taking us out yearly.
I wouldn't be surprised if it takes me out in a year or two and I'm only 37.

All the court does is decide who is correct about the laws that are on the books. Not sure why they ended up with this one.

I'm not surprised, but national politics doesn't care about your mental health or your health care in general. Until we get them to care about putting health care reform as a big priority, we are screwed.
With the way the right is against socialism, I wouldn't hold my breath for universal health care

I recommend reading this piece by Danielle Carr, a UCLA professor. I was going to post some quotes, but it's really not very long, and provides a very valuable perspective on the ongoing mental health crisis.

Reply to comment by vtdadbod007 in A probably unpopular take on the VT State College Libraries by vtdadbod007
I’m actually a VSC student, and 1. There are absolutely people who still need help with online research, and library staff are an incredibly valuable resource for that 2. The books in the libraries here are amazing, and the leadership has zero business throwing them out. Not to mention, the library is basically the only thing to do or go to on some campuses.

Reply to It seems weird that the VT coat of arms has only one tree on it, and it's an evergreen. by zhynn
The evergreen is a reference to the Green Mountain Boys, who wore a sprig of fir or hemlock in the band of their hats. It also represents perpetuity, continuing to uphold the values of freedom and unity.

Ugh, amen to that. It’s limited everywhere that’s actually worth living. :( If we could afford Johnson or Hyde Park we’d be there in a heartbeat but I think Eden is the closest to Stowe that we can manage. That property isn’t our favorite on the list but the closer you get to Stowe, the less you get for your money, it seems. :/
Also, thank you so much for your specific and helpful feedback! :)

Ehhh, a little over an hour to go through Burlington, across 89, and up 100 from Waterbury. It’s about 5 minutes more than he commutes now because, ya know, we can’t really afford to live any closer to Stowe. Definitely sucks…but it also sucks now. :/

I'm guessing that the game still has goblins in it though. Be very shocked if there aren't levels in the bank.
