The former Empire State is collapsing under the weight of high taxes, unsustainable levels of expenditure, the typical corruption that occurs under one-party rule, appallingly deliberate poverty by denying upstate citizens the right to sell fracking rights under their land and the usual Leftist crap about 35-87 genders (at last count) and “climate change.”
The idiot Governor - who was never elected - has a “solution” to this sorry state of affairs.1 Any Republican in the State who prefers smaller government and lower taxes should move to Florida. She said to 4.5 million New Yorkers: “Just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, OK? You are not New Yorkers.”
I am pleased to say I am way ahead you, Kathy! I left the State of my birth the day after the apathetic voters of New York City elected an actual, real, honest to goodness Communist, Warren Wilhelm, Jr. as Mayor with only 11% of the voters bothering to go to the polls. Low cost of living! Nice neighbors! Steps from the beach year round! No state income taxes! No shoveling snow! No Commie morons running the government!
Yeah, a generally terrible place.
On a side note, I include this picture here because of the Orwellian insanity of New York State stopping honest citizens from owning guns while the criminals are armed to the teeth. Here in Florida, our government does prevent gun violence because all non-criminals are armed to the teeth so gutter scum who attempt to attack honest citizens end up dead.
Deterrence works. Oh, and the 2nd Amendment which the Supreme Court just scolded New York State about and instead of realizing they have been wrongly restricting their residents’ rights, these assholes under Hochul immediately set about restoring the exact same set of restrictions with different language. All while violence soars because the gutter scum still know that honest New Yorkers are not armed to defend themselves.
After New York collapses, perhaps the idiots who keep voting for the one-party state pushing them all into permanently disarmed serfdom will wake up and realize they can have better lives by pruning government back to a very small beast.
This New Yorker-in-Exile looks forward to the day he can return to what New York State once was and can once more become.
Until then, enjoy your misery!
