nah the rules changed. if you can stomach a few winters - you've earned your spot.

I don't call the refugee community flat landers - they are welcome with open arms. They are good folk and always have my support.

there's other states they can flock to. I am certain the climate here in vt is not what they are used to anyways.. plus floridians have enough property bought up here in VT to start a revolution. good riddance.

Lol. Not sure why I was downvoted. I have generations of ancestors in this state and that’s what I was always told. We call people like Bernie “honorary vermonters.”
