That sounds like a single unsatisfying interaction, not the harbinger of doom for a state's consciousness. Maybe the guy is socially anxious or autistic or misheard you or is just awkward. Vermont will survive his presence here.

You paint a very bleak picture. I think there's some truth in there but most parts don't seem accurate to me (e.g. why would newcomers want to raise the cost of living "as an experiment to test the locals"? Makes no sense. All new communities being built are unneighborly? Really?)

Have you ever been screened for depression?

>Asked about the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, Malloy told Vermont Public he “wished” he’d been there to protest, but added that the people who broke the law — such as those who attacked law enforcement officers — need to be held accountable.

Reply to Thoughts on Bennington college? by Complex_Flatworm7399

Read The Secret History by Donna Tartt (she's a Bennington grad who based the college in the novel on her alma mater). It's apparently a good place to hold Dionysian celebrations in cornfields and get away with killing a farmer and then murdering your classmate, at least in the fictionalized version.

Brett Easton Ellis also went there, so if you want to become a writer of dark literary fiction it might be a good choice
