Reply #16: you propose to resettle 300 million people in vermont?

[pitohui]

vermont is a state that serves no known purpose, don't get me wrong but there are no jobs there, right? right after katrina a vermont guy was on me about how irresponsible it was to live in new orleans, where we have a port and oil industry, i can't even imagine what job my husband would be able to get in vermont -- turns out this guy was a freaking retiree who had a hobby farm growing apples

well jeez that's real freckin useful when the world is in flames

don't get me wrong, i'm sure vermont is a cute place to live, but if EVERYONE is relocated there, then most people will die, because it doesn't seem to have any resources other than libertarian kooks

telling us to move to vermont is just the same as saying "let them eat cake"

guess what, if everybody eats cake, your vermont is going to get pretty effing cold without our oil
