The article recommends Florida. Having grown up there, I can definitely not recommend a summertime visit unless you want swamp crotch the entire time.

Not to mention the people in Florida are complete and total assholes. Like the whole fucking state is just made up of complete and total assholes.

I'm a Floridian.

He's right.

I spent most of my life there and was finally able to move away. It is true, because even people that don't want to be assholes need to essentially act in a certain way to not appear weak and invite harassment or worse. It was a literal shock to my family when random people would just smile at them and say "Hi!" in public in other states.

Sounds like it’s full of people who are complete and total assholes, I bet the whole fucking state is just made up of complete and total assholes.

I grew up there, can confirm.

Most of the state is for sure, and more bizarrely, it attracts these sorts of people to migrate there. I can't quite wrap my head around it. Florida at least used to be a cheap place to retire, so I understood all the older people moving there. Now it is expensive and far more full of assholes. I dread having to visit there to see my remaining family ever couple of years.

"on the plus side, it's backward, violent and is growing moreso daily."

Who wouldn't want to endure that for $179 round trip?
