Pretty sure they are happy they don't have "communism" when they pay those bills.

Imagine all those Californians that moved to Texas.

Seriously they deserve what they get for not appreciating what they had.

Funny, I was thinking the same of the New Yorkers who moved to Texas. I live in New York (not the City) and yah the state has problems, but you couldn't pay me to move to a Southern state...

IDK, coming from NYC to TX is probably a net upgrade in a lot of ways, especially if you're a small business owner or work for one. The laws in NYC are just so bonkers.

Then again, I'm uninterested in moving to TX either. I'm pretty happy here in Utah, and I may move back home to Seattle, WA at some point, or maybe we'll move to NC. But I'm not moving anywhere further south than NC.

Yah the taxes in NYS (not NYC) are one of the problems I mentioned, but on the other hand I've seen what they paid for. As an Upstate NY resident I have a love/hate relationship with NYC. On one hand it causes a lot of funky laws to be passed at the state level. On the other hand it brings in a FUCK TON of tax revenue that Upstate benefits from

Honestly Louis Rossmans experience as a small business owner living the real life Kafka novel in new Yorks legal system made me never want to live there.
