That was not meant for you.
So solly said the yellow peril.

Sheesh! Warn a guy, would you? I had NO idea that that was the doorway to madness!

Technically, for the price of some applied ballistics, you can fix stupid. There are, however, usually other factors to consider.

Drive a couple hours north and make a left. Mountains.

That's what got my wife to move from NYC when we were getting married (long distance romance). I lived in Detroit and she was looking at a 1/3 cut in salary to move there ... but a 2/3 cut in living expenses. I was able to convince her that it isn't how much you make but how little you need to that matters most.

We're still together 16 years on.

The Jones are up to their arses in debt. I have more debt than I am comfortable with and I don't give a flying futuristic fig what the Joneses do.

Nor so long as their paychecks continue to be accepted by the bank.

Yep. I moved down here 5 years ago to get away from the crepe in Detroit ... only to have it follow me down. Dreck!

Looks like a fun flic ... gonna see if I can find the full movie. Should be good for a laugh.

There's another saying~"You can't fix stupid."
Hope that's wrong, though.

All one need do is to look at the overlays of the recent national election and the crime map for the country and you will see that Blue State failure is systemic.

The voters that keep putting in the Dem pols that keep giving things away and weakening the Constitution have only themselves to blame for this well documented, self inflicted disaster these states are all facing to varying degrees.

As the saying goes "Stupid is as stupid does...." For what its worth!

As it turned out, we got to see our grandchildren grow up and the only thing we miss are the mountains.

You betcha.

No state income tax in Florida.

We lived for a number of years in San Diego, and have nothing but fond memories. The great weather and proximity to both ocean and mountains was great. But as we retired, we realized that if we continued to live there we would eventually go broke. We moved to Florida where our grandchildren were and the cost of living was about 1/3 of that in San Diego.

The lib media will never pass on this information.

Nothing that anyone with half a brain can plainly see. Unfortunately there are a lot of quarter-brains out there.

So what else is new?

He's keeping up with the Jones's I'll bet.

Maybe under Trump's leadership. Maybe not.
Trump is not a conservative, though I just had to vote for him due to the circumstances.

There is but one solution for California, leave it. Perhaps if enough leave, the elector counts will also drop and their vote will become insignificant. That's why I moved from Western Washington to Eastern Washington. I just hope I can survive long enough to see a result. Makes me wonder what would happen in a city that is completely ruled and populated only by liberal democrats, with no one at all to ever challenge anything they do?
