Did you know that r/vermont uses NH as its downvote button?

Not cool, Vermont. Not. Cool.

Is it because of this?

New England Rankings in the U.S. News & World Report “Best States” List

New Hampshire Named Second-Best State, Vermont Ranked Fifth

By and large, the report confirmed what many of us who live in New England already know: This region is a pretty great place to live.

The “Best States” 2019 list put three New England states in the top 10, and every New England state placed in the top 5 in one or more categories.

The report ranked the 50 states in eight categories:

  • Healthcare (access, quality, public health)
  • Education (higher education, pre-K through 12)
  • Economy (business environment, employment, growth)
  • Infrastructure (energy, Internet access, transportation)
  • Opportunity (affordability, economic opportunity, equality)
  • Fiscal stability (long- and short-term)
  • Crime and corrections (corrections, public safety)
  • Natural environment (air and water quality, pollution)

I mean it makes no sense because the up arrow is thinner at the top and so is NH. So we should be the up vote. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Speaking to both the OP and Vermont: your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer.

They're just scared the public will figure out our maple syrup is better.

Love Vermont. Hate regional pettiness as we are all new englanders tho this is prevalent in every state but alas

And this list from 2022 puts Mass above NH as the best place in the country to live. Data changes over time, especially when it comes to what is considered "the best place to live", so using data from a 3 year old census ranking is basically obsolete at this point in time. Pre-Covid NH might have been better than Vermont in 2019, but a lot has changed since then.

Ok? Every other post in this sub is someone bitching about "massholes". So I don't see how we're any better.

Who the fuck cares about Vermont. As far as I am concerned, NH should take back the NH grants and VT were always traitors and scum as a people

Vermont has nothing. NH beats VT in every meaningful category. Let their little hive mind Burlington mods have their reddiots

Doesn't this sub use Mass as a downvote button? Seems just as petty.

Visually, I feel like the silhouette of NH looks like the upvote, and VT the down. So really it’s a pretty poor attempt at a diss.

I think if you use old Reddit you still have the states, new Reddit is just arrows. I think it’s all a pretty funny joke. VT disses on NH, NH on MA, MA on ?? It could be a giant New England circle jerk!

Burlington is giving Manch a run for the money these days on violent crime and general shitbirding.

For a town way out in the middle of nowhere they have a surprising amount of bad decisions and shenanigans these days.

VT’er here. I love New Hampshire. Manch-Vegas 4-eva. What’s better than the White Mountains in the summer? Or the winter, for that matter. The back roads we share NH to VT are simply splendid and so scenic to travel back and forth. Fully support the #2 rank, y’all earned that spot.

Since we share a border and a love for new england. Maybe we can expend energy on other topics. A healthy sibling rivarly sure, It’s fun! Must we go deeper than that? We face so many more pressing issues in these complex modern times. One love.
