Bernie sanders is not a good way to judge vt. He’s a politician like any other. With that being said Vermont is great. Make sure whatever you do for work has an industry up here as we have so few. Also housing is a mess right now and I don’t really have any solutions for that. Also be prepared for winter via snow tires or AWD. Southerners struggle in our winters

Thank you for your honesty! That’s fair, I was hoping it was more along the lines of people align more ideologically with him.

Is there anything that is super expensive or scarce that I could start collecting now to help with the winters up there?

Not really. Firewood if you burn wood. Heating costs are soaring right now. It’s more just being prepared. There’s a lot of posts on here of people trying to fix their heating systems or winterize their homes when it’s too late. We have limited services so you’ll see things get booked out months at a time. It’s just best to be prepared and have that stuff looked at before it gets cold because when winter comes those people get busy.

You really aren't supposed to be transporting firewood across state lines. And from firewood has been affected by inflation a lt less than most things

Good to know, I haven’t had to deal with a harsh winter yet. I will have to do a deeper dive into everything that it entails!

It’s really not terrible. It could be much worse but it could get bad not knowing what you’re getting into. Best of luck!
