Wait until you see what they teach at Edmunds and BHS. You will moving out of Burlington when your kid hits 6th grade.

You do not have a clue what you are talking about. You sound like a raving cult member. Florida sucks in a lot of ways but JFC.

Yes. And those states have MANY more high earners paying taxes and actually some decent sized companies you may have heard of. Vermont's largest private employer is a dying remnant of IBM with less than 1000 workers. Vermont has become a rich persons playground along with a large number of borderline destitute and desperate people. With fewer and fewer middle-class in-between.

Compounding interest will always work. Save early and often.

This isn't new.

Library isn't closing. They are trying to make it more like a gathering space for students to do all kinds of collaborative things. High Ed libraries have been going this way for at least a decade now.

No. This is Vermont before 2015 we're talking about. Of course it was racist. Same argument they made about Rebels at SB. Though the flag of choice at SB games was of the Confederate variety.

I have nothing against ski hills. I love them.

But.

You live in a fantasy world. And love to cherry pick data.

Sure. Everyone skiing in Vermont are locals at Cochrans. Remind me of that after the next snow dump on the way up to Killington or Stowe while you sit between gargantuan idling SUV's for hours.

Sure, we have this amazing clean power grid.

The majority of the NE power grid comes from burning gas.

Sure, Vermont can afford publicly funded trains running people all over the state.

See The Champlain Flyer, VT population and already unsustainable tax burden.

You live in a fantasy world where you pick and choose what is bad based on what you like and want.

Facts are facts. The truth is real.

Skiing is a catastrophe for the environment. If climate change is going to destroy everything and cause societal chaos like so many predict, then one of the first things we should do is outlaw ski mountains.

Calculate the amount of carbon released just from people driving multiple hours up to the ski areas from the cities and everything else required to run a ski mountain. Or does elitist recreation not count toward the "impending environmental apocalypse."

Any other major city? Burlington is a neighborhood in a major city.

> Vermont is better than this.

Is it though? In numerous ways all empirical evidence suggests that it is not.
