Stephan:   I am stunned at the difference in quality of life between those States, governed by Democrats, and those governed by Republicans, during this latest phase of the Covid-19 pandemic. If this were a historical event, instead of present date, and one just looked at the numbers one could reasonably infer that Republicans were a kind of death cult and that believers were willing to put their allegiance to the cult above their own wellbeing or the wellbeing of their family, even at the risk of their own death.

    Vermont may have a small population which is very community minded. They have their challenges too, esp. when it comes to logging. Climate Activist and Vermont resident, Bill McKibben has a wildly funny, satirical novel called Radio Free Vermont. A fable of resistance.
