It's been a year since we left New York for Florida. Here's what we learned

I'd take that over alligators, hurricanes, oppressive heat in the summer, much more overt racism, tons of bugs & pests, constant tourists, worse education and lower income levels.

You're wrong about the racism. Blacks & whites have been together in FL for centuries. Back in the day if a runaway slave made it south of St. Mary's river, they were welcomed and treated as free men/women.

Those people reproduced and are all over Florida. FL has some of the smartest and based black people in the country.

We've been together in this thing for a long time.

You're also wrong about the worse education level. 3rd in the nation. Derp!

Local blacks & whites really don't "appreciate" the yankee invaders, but whatcha gonna do? :dunno: We gotta put up with 'em. Ofc we can talk to each other right in front of 'em and they won't understand a word we said, just like a
foreign language.

Also, lower income levels? Really? Where is that? The cost of living is lower here as well.

The housing prices are insane, that's due to greedy government-backed banks and local municipalities extracting maximum taxes. That's going to have to give sooner or later.

Many are sitting on a pile of cash, waiting for that inevitable event.

Come on man, DeSantis put out those statistics, surprising he doesn't have the Gunshine State number one in everything

And if you think residing in some gated village slowly dying of mediocrity is living, well, Florida is for you

Desantis ain't been in FL as long as I have, brah. And you're just being ridiculous. No one is to take your bullshit seriously.

Those are real statistics that El Governor had nothing to do with, moron. :rolleyes:

Desantis can't "put out statistics" for national state education rankings, you idiot.

They are what they are. Can you tell me what they are? Are you capable of naming the top 3 in the US?

I await your reply with baited breath.

(Okay really not, but it sounded good) :laugh:

I am a New Yorker

I am a New Yorker
I may no longer live in the five boroughs or on the Island or Upstate
I may now live hundreds or thousands of miles away
Or I may live just over the GW Bridge
But I am a New Yorker


I am a New Yorker
Whatever took me out of New York:
Business, family or hating the cold did not take New York out of me.
My accent may have faded and my pace may have slowed
But I am a New Yorker


I am a New Yorker
I was raised on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Rockefeller Plaza,
The Yankees or the Mets
Jones Beach or Rye Beach or one of the beaches on the sound
I know that THE END; means Montauk.
Because I am a New Yorker


I am a New Yorker
When I go on vacation, I never look up
Skyscrapers are something I take for granted
The Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty are part of me
Taxis and noise and subways and get outa heah; don't rattle me
Because I am a New Yorker


I am a New Yorker
I was raised on cultural diversity before it was politically correct
I eat Greek food and Italian food, Jewish and Middle Eastern food and
Chinese food
Because they are all American food to me.


I don't get mad when people speak other languages in my presence
Because my relatives got to this country via Ellis Island and chose to
stay.
They were New Yorkers


I am a New Yorker
People who have never been to New York have misunderstood me
My friends and family work in the industries, professions and businesses
that benefit all Americansl
My firefighters died trying to save New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers
They died trying to save Americans and non-Americans
Because they were New Yorkers.


I am a New Yorker
I feel the pain of my fellow New Yorkers
I mourn the loss of my beautiful city
I feel and dread that New York will never be the same
But then I remember:
I am a New Yorker


And New Yorkers have:
Tenacity, strength and courage way above the norm
Compassion and caring for our fellow citizens
Love and pride in our city, in our state, in our country
Intelligence, experience and education par excellence
Ability, dedication and energy above and beyond
Faith--no matter what religion we practice


Terrorists hit America in its heart
But America's heart still beats strong
Demolish the steel in our buildings, but it doesn't touch the steel in
our souls
Hit us in the pocketbook; but we'll parlay what we have left into a fortune
End innocent lives leaving widows and orphans, but we'll take care of
them
Because they are New Yorkers


Wherever we live, whatever we do, whoever we are
There are New Yorkers in every state and every city of this nation
We will not abandon our city
We will not abandon our brothers and sisters
We will not abandon the beauty, creativity and diversity that New York represents
Because we are New Yorkers
And we are proud to be New Yorkers


- Donald J. Trump

....During that stay, I interviewed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the first time. He said words my New York leaders would not say.

He talked about putting children first, how important it was for him personally that schools opened for Florida kids, and how he was ready to fight for these kids. Meanwhile, in New York, the politicians were also fighting…to give Teachers Unions whatever they wanted at the expense of kids. ........

And then he killed 35,000 people in 3 months via his gross lack of understanding of Covid.

Kinda humorous how Floridians, especially right wing Floridians, who seemingly make up the majority of Floridians, seemingly have a never ending unsatisfying need to keep telling everyone else how good their State is suppose to be

Pretty much says it all

There is not a single road in Michigan that is in better shape than Missouri, even there secondary roads are better than most Michigan main roads, why must liberals lie about even the simplest things

Your frequent use of hyperbole brands you as dishonest, hysterical, and quite possibly nuts. So carry on there, Cletus. :rofl2:

can't defend what you say as usual, not but hyperbole flows out of that mouth. You probably live in the UP where all the crazies move to

Yes, no doubt that's true. ;)

Hey, on my ride home today from town, here's a pic I took. We had a hefty snow the last couple of days. Our highway department rocks! Just LOOK at that horrible highway!
