Florida leads in most areas

Of course, if you live in a blue state, ignore those stats. Just believe the lies of the left about the mythical "florida man" and don't move here.

Florida has the best economy in the country because we don't elect Nazis to run this state.

North Carolina and Virginia are both blue states. Their economy is doing better than yours. That's a fact. Keep the change. ☺

@Zonuss You are delusional. Here in Florida we WISH people would leave. It's crowded as hell here. And NO city in Florida is as dangerous as Charlotte.

Zonuss · 46-50, M

@Reason10 Sorry you bumped your head. But Charlotte North Carolina now has over 900,000 people. It will soon be part of the 1 million population cities here in the US. It took Jacksonville Florida almost 25 years just to get from 800 thousand to a million. So yes both those states can compete with Florida.
Check the stats.They are doing very well, while Florida is becoming an oversaturated sesspool of real estate fraud and of course illegal immigration.
Don't forget high crime.

@Reason10 500,000 left Florida in 2023.

NY is likely gonna see another large exodus of libs w money and ability to flee the tax increases that are coming if/when Madmani Mamdani is elected

I want to retire where those folk and the ones fleeing CA are NOT going .. CO is ruined already. MT, TX, FL and TN etc are under liberal assault ..

Hope UT avoids an influx

Yes, please keep the left OUT of red states. Utah especially, that is where I'm retiring.

@Reason10 I have been lucky so far. My neighborhood in southern Utah has people from California and Las Vegas, along with
other states, and we are all Conservative so far. Great neighborhood, we all look out for each other. I don't live
there permanent yet. But they watch the house. and check on my trees.

NOPE. Florida schools are mediocre. The best indicator of schools in the NAEP, and here's how all the states rank.

In addition, teacher shortages are an indicator that a state school system is declining.

@DogMan That study gave credit for high graduation rates and low costs; NOT for earning power after graduation. It basically says Florida has lots of diploma mills.

Colleges with the highest earning power for graduates include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Caltech, Stanford, Princeton University, and the University of Pennsylvania, which have graduates with high mid-career salaries. Other institutions with strong earning outcomes for graduates include Carnegie Mellon, Harvard, Yale, and Georgia Tech.

@ElwoodBlues Interesting maps. So it looks like California and Oregon do not have a teacher shortage, but
they are at the bottom in the rankings. Hmmmm What else do they have in common? 🤔

Main benefit being low tax that would incentivise new business.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Exactly right. It's good for a person to do SOMETHING for their benefits. Anything.

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@DogMan Yup. At the welfare place I go to I'm one of the very few ones with an interview at BlackRock lined up 🤭

All sorts need to use it sometime!

DogMan · 61-69, M

@BritishFailedAesthetic I guess I am lucky. I have worked full time for over 50 years, never did I not have at least one
job. Some years I had 1 full time and two part time jobs. It was great, I didn't have any time to spend money.
