Reply to comment by polarbearrape in Vermont House considers increasing DMV fees by FearandLoathinginBTV

I am committed to being the last young person in vermont. I'm too stubborn to let the state die. I'll go down with it, or I'll spend my life trying to make things better. The solutions are so plain, but Capitals grip is so entrenched...

I dont recommend it. That was my attitude. I'm now 33, there are no decent paying jobs and all my friends have moved away or taken their own lives. Lots of us go down with it trying our best to make it better and never see it do anything but change to push us out.

I don't care about having a decent paying job, I care about making it by. I'm Gen Z, I'm under no stupid illusion that life in this country is supposed to be any shade of good.

And I don't see myself taking my own life. As far as I know, I'm the only sane person, and there would be a bit of loss for the state. /hj

Same boat here. I'm out as soon as my parents are healthy enough for me to leave. There's nothing but old rich people here, it's pretty miserable.
