... because it's cheaper to pay for them to go to an existing school than build an entire school for such a low population?

Make sure to give them an ocular pat down first

Yes starting my own farmstead is weird shit in the woods. I'm not some prepper, I just see Vermont as being one of the safest places to move my family to. My grandfather was a farmer and he taught me a lot and after a long career in IT, would love to get back to nature for my retirement and not have to worry about feeding myself next time some COVID like disaster comes around. You couldn't pay me to move down south for a whole plethora of reasons.

So the Shaguar is this guy's Winter beater car? If he rolled and slammed his door into this guy a 2nd time, scraping white paint onto the other car, he must have intentionally damaged his own car too. What's his Summer car? A Ferrari? What a douche.

Anyone want to build us a high school for less than 20 students in each grade?

If I have no choice but to park by a poorly parked car I just low key take a pic of the plate. “Can’t park well” is enough of a causation/correlation for me to be a little nervous about their overall driving skills. That and the asshats of the world like this jag driver..

New Hampshire would probably suit you better. Sincerely. It's similar to Vermont in enough of the ways you want. Or Maine. Just don't live by the coast and hurricanes won't be a big issue. If you're that concerned about potential weather in 30 year's. Guestimates that are likely inaccurate at best. There's also no income tax in New Hampshire, from wages. Or sales tax.

You’re a vermont high school basketball debate lord account lmao

Diversity in education sources, public and private, is a good thing. If an alternative form of education is what an individual student needs and the state can't provide it, then they should pay for it.

Downvote away

When we have been funding these schools since the late 1800's and then turn on a dime yes it most certainly is trying to shut them down or at least a total lack of care for the consequences of this action.

Yeah the "self sufficiency" thing is kinda bs. More of a fantasy prepper types have. If there was a societal collapse (unlikely) people who work together as small communities will probably be the ones who thrive. Prepper types will either run out of their rations and homestead types would just get taken over by said communities lmao. Also some dude from long island is not gonna have a self sufficient farm in VT. Especially after climate collapse.

There really has never been a time in history where solitary humans were the ones that thrived.

The tactic is subversive in nature. Sure you can still opt to send your children to private school, but that doesn’t exempt you from paying your taxes that fund public schools. So now you are faced with paying for public school and private school. Most people cannot afford both so they are forced to “choose” public school. Enough people do that and the private school can’t stay open.

It is an excellent reason there should be no “public” money, a.k.a. taxes. Let people pay for where they wish to send their children.

Why do people with vanity plates or company signs on their vehicles draw attention to themselves? It seems so foolish when their plates/signs are so memorable.

If private Christian schools need public funding to survive then they have a shitty business model.

> we used to print the names

Still do in my town. Fucked up thing is some who are on that list are filthy rich and even a few large corps as well.

with that attitude you're sure to get a warm welcome from your neighbors. remember there's no such thing as "self sufficiency", you need a community. good luck.

It doesn't help PCPs here also don't do shit for anyone. You'll wait all that time for them to roll their eyes and send you on your way. I've gotten more results in urgent care.

My PCP ignored me for two years till I finally snapped and forced tests and found out I had stenosis so bad they want me on disability.

Yeah. Vt is more community oriented. We really dont take kindly to preppers who move in from the big city and do wierd shit in the woods. We already have the ruby ridge people.

Texas is probably more of the type of place you should go to do that.

Edit: also I really dont think you are thinking this through. You are a rich long islander. Buying a vacation home in bumfuck vermont that you plan to ride out the apocalypse in. All the people in back woods vermont know each other and know who their neighbors are. They are armed to the teeth

What do you think is going to happen when they realize their asshole solitary neighbor has a ton of food and supplies.

I'm sure that's some of them, but the research says hedgefunds are the biggest problem.

Idgaf if people want to move here and contribute. This guy just seems like he wants to buy 100 acres of property so he can live out his prepper fantasy once a year.

Vermont really isn't that big though. If you want to be in the middle of nowhere its not the place to move lol.

Its really not hedge funds buying up shit its wealthy people from like nyc buying up Vacation homes they will never stay in.

It's not just vacationing anymore!! A lot of these people have decided to stay! Development, crime, traffic. And of course the crappy big mouth attitude. And okay. I'm not back country. I'm on the edge of the Capital Region. But Vermont? As you can see, you're as welcome as locusts.

fake story, this is referencing that

Not putting public money into private institutions is not the same as trying to shut them down.
