Healthcare is atrocious in Vermont unfortunately. You’re forced to go out of state if you have anything but the simplest and most common ailment.

It’s being yuppified for sure. My current neighborhood used to have a range of ppl, from ppl living near the poverty line to millionaires. Now it’s all rich ppl. Sucks!

Nationally since the Biden administration the per capita incarceration rate has dropped to around 500. Used to be the highest in the world at over 700 and now it’s only the 6th worst incarceration rate globally. I guess you can call it progress… I’m not sure about Vermont’s per capita rate rn. Last time I checked it was pretty bad when compared to other places in developed countries.
