Oh you didn’t get a warm vibe from people? I can’t imagine why.
It’s almost as if everyone in the country has made up a cartoonish stereotype about who lives here and then proceeded to show up and tell us how much of a disappointment we are when daily life is not an egalitarian love orgy covered in maple syrup.

Is there some place to sign up for the maple syrup orgy? 😆

You’d regret it. All those beards and the maple syrup sticking to everyone…. It’s not a great situation.

The people are a disappointment. I thought a place that prides itself and identifies itself as a social haven would treat other humans more…humanely. Obv asking a bit too much from r/Vermont lol

No, YOU pride and identify us as being a social haven. WE pride ourselves as being self reliant and treating each other with dignity.
You are just making my point so clearly: VT exists outside of our relationship to you. We are not a utopia, we are the real world just like everywhere else.
I think Vermonters treat people very humanely, it just might not look exactly like what you think it should. I don’t “welcome” anyone because I don’t really talk to people I don’t know, I value leaving other people alone.
I have nothing but love in my heart for you, and I really hope you stay.
It’s sometimes hard when we are just going about our daily lives, working and trying to get by, and people are upset we aren’t a greeting card that takes place inside of a farmers market.
