Governor Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 34 minutes ago, Chef Jim said: WalletHub's survey considered 52 different weighted metrics, from cost of living and property taxes at the high end to low birthweights and move theaters per capita at the low end. Move theaters?? Anyway you keep NJ. I’ll stay here. It all depends on what you value in life. Florida and Texas are retail states so their economies are quite deceiving. The working class is much poorer compared to NJ. Do you value retail shopping more than overall health, crime, education, environment, etc? It’s ok if you do.

US Egg Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Lived in Texas for awhile back in the late '70's. Worked hard with eager Illegals, partied hard with them. These guys are not the problem. They're still around. Thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is literally the first article when you google " why is Texas having blackouts". The legislature did pass laws but they are not fixes that can happen immediately https://www.npr.org/2021/06/02/1002277720/texas-lawmakers-passed-changes-to-prevent-more-blackouts-experts-say-its-not-eno You mean laws don't magically bring power plants online?

And the quality of life (assuming you survive) is just oh so awesome - guns - everyone gets a gun! The quality of life is amazing. I get paid similarly to my colleagues in the Manhattan or LA offices but housing, energy, services are a fraction of the cost. I guess I should give that up because people can now carry guns in government hearings but cannot carry in bars, sporting events, the workplace, and basically everywhere else they could not carry before. Oh, and we lost power for a few days in an extremely rare multi-day freezing event. Nothing left to do but pack my bags back to WNY so I can take a massive pay cut in a trash job market with zero economic growth and pay more taxes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure those guys would love to hear what a hoitey toitey millennial New York liberal progressive city slicker thinks of their way of life 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to Patterson, Camden, and Newark and if you think they have anything good vs where I live on Florida you are nuts. And we have already had this discussion the only ranking that NJ beats FL educationally is in spending, as far as performance FL wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
