Why should VT get to survive a global catosphroe with it's current look and feel? For real, on the face of global climate change, expect social norms to change.

Because, fuck everyone else. they can stay in California. Plenty of people live in deserts. Build nuclear power plants and desalinization plants. Pump water inland, make large inland lakes and fill aquifers. I don't care if they suffer hotter summers. Same with Texas

I love the honesty in this answer.

It is definitely an honest answer. I like the way Vermont is. If I wanted to live by a bunch of jag offs, I'd move to San Diego. I'm not changing what I love about Vermont so some rich assholes can move here to escape hotter summers and drought. and crowd me out. lm not the one with private planes and 3 houses and 6 cars. Last time I even flew, you were still allowed to carry pocket knives on planes.

I'm with you. I wish most of the recent COVID refugees would leave. I would go back to no cell service at home ans slow internet to get rid of the people who moved here. Not gonna happen, but I understand your sentiment.

Me and my freinds spoke about the vast difference between the back to the lander hippie types who came previously and the HipsterKarens who came after Covid. The hippies made good neighbors but we don't see these new people being as amicable. The other migration didn't fight their towns as soon as they moved in, attempt to shut down their neighbor's farms, pepper spray bear hunters on public land and all the other surreal crap we've seen recently.
