Vermonters have few choices

Their main source of external income is Medicare, they have to compete with Florida for the retirement business.  It is either that or the Maple syrup industry. Vermont is not competitive in the retirement industry, and once the current set of old people die off, Vermont is left with the Maple syrup and summer cottage industry. That is a huge reduction in necessary workers, the kids should start leaving now.

So, Bernie cannot help Vermont. He cannot turn the place into a retirement industry.  Bernie's plan for M4A has no effect on Vermont, they already are mostly M4A.

Wyoming is in the same boat, they have to make it as a tourist spot, dude ranching for the world tourist. I doubt it.  Alaska has oil, it keeps the wolf a bay for longer.

It is Vermont, Wyoming to fall first, then Maine and Montana.  Delaware is peculiar, it is just a small border within a larger metropolis.

A stat:

The smallest state by population is Wyoming, with fewer than 600,000 residents and a negative growth rate of almost 1% per year. Other states with negativepopulation growths include Louisiana, Connecticut, Kansas, West Virginia, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and Alaska.

Rhode Island is a weird one, a neighborhood, really. Those oddly chopped small states in the east coast are part of the larger political metropolis back there. But they are all, slowly, losing population to the south and west. But it does effect much since the overwhelming problem is going to be nearly empty territories in Vermont and Wyoming. It is hard to admit two senators from a small village of 20,000 in a state with 100,000. And we are getting observably close.
