How To Reduce Your Cost Of Living - Move To A Red State

[ThunderKiss1965]

Ahh....

Good point. I guess economics forces people to live in red states.

Some Americans aspire for more out of life than being coerced into living somewhere. YMMV

Are you saying places like California are actively trying to discourage retires from staying there ?
Anything you have in California can be found in Alabama. Except for the shit covered side walks, crushing number of homeless, outrageous housing and energy costs, less than half of what California is by the way . It's not coercive if it's better.

Not at all. What I am saying is that your admission that people move to where they can afford to live is a sign of surrender at worst and regression at best.

Thanks for the chuckle there.

I knew we'd eventually devolve to right wingers trotting out the sad anecdotes in a lame attempt to prop up red states. Data--you may remember from the Pre-Trump times--reports a much more bleak picture of the red states:

Poverty

Illiteracy

Life Expectancy:

I could do this all day.

HI and CA are the highest welfare sucking states.

Yeah, what’s next? CA is the fourth or fifth biggest economy but the quality of life is absence? That something the dumbass Newsom is cheering about. So great that billionaires and companies can’t wait to leave the shithole he created.

I wouldn't go that far on the quality of life. CA isn't without it's faults. But when more are visiting one city and could have used that spending to fund entire state (Mississippi)...it's pretty funny to say that they don't have anything to offer. I lived in CA for a while...San Diego area. Few places in the world where you can go snow skiing and water skiing on the same day and be home for dinner. Saying Alabama is comparable is simply false. YMMV
