Re: Culture Wars
mullah deconkis' tyranny is about shoving his religious zealotry down everyone's throats while giving lip service to individual and family rights and freedom.
I think he's hoping to make ayatollah with his fatwa against Disney.

People are migrating to lower cost of living states, which are disproportionately red. Lower cost of living due to:
-Lower taxes, esp no state income (like FL, Texas, Tenn). Low tax states are disproportionately red. Ex the 9 states with no income tax are 7 red, 1 purple, 1 blue.
-Lower labor costs (right to work).
-Less business & economic regulation.
Add in the benefit of better weather and/or beaches/mtns in most of these states.
That’s not sheep. That’s common sense.

Re: Culture Wars
They're sheep because they think that they can move to a lower-cost state but that the services will be the same. They're going to think this mullah deconkis guy and his ilk are taking it too far and start voting for politicians and policies more like where they came from and people are going to ask "why did they come here and try to make it like where they came from?"BDKJMU wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 10:30 pmWrong.

I would guess that if I searched I could find posts on the Poly board with posters complaining about people moving from a high tax location to a low tax location and then voting for officials who raise taxes to provide things they had in the old location. It happens and is likely to happen again. They're moving to Florida and Texas but they are likely to shift them toward purple in the long run.

Florida is getting redder. 2018 donks had a 265k voter registration advantage. By 2023 conks were +525k. That’s about an 800k swing.

Re: Culture Wars
Your 4 different people doesn’t mean squat without knowing where. YUGE difference between say the nice parts of the DFW, Houston & Austin, and just about any small/medium sized city, rural area or near the border. I actually lived in Texas 2000-2002 near the border and it was FAR cheaper than the Harrsionburg area or the Philly are (NJ and PA side) where I’ve lived since.
Cost of living:
-Texas 17th cheapest/34 highest 2024
-Highest 14 states: 11 blue, 2 purple (ME & NH), 1 red (AK)
-Bottom 20: 18 red, 1 blue (IL), 1 purple (MI). Granted I was surprised to see IL as that 1 blue state.
-Bottom 10 all red.
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state ... to-live-in
Clearly anyone with half a brain (not sure if you qualify) can see that, with a couple exceptions, the blue states skew high, and the red states skew low.

So, what were your real estate taxes on your home in Texas? I pay $2100 on the house, barn, pool, and 25 acres here. Good roads, good schools...
The people I've spoken with are 3 DFWs and one Houston.
