I’ve been to Galveston. It was 15 or so years ago though. It was a little too brown for me. ---

By no means do I have comprehensive knowledge of the state or all of the jobs available so I really can’t refute what you’re saying. My knowledge base comes from the Charlotte area, being the biggest city in NC by almost double the 2nd (750k compared to 415K in Raleigh and 215K in the 3rd largest) things are a bit different here than the rest of the state, and the rest of the south in general. Charlotte def. isn’t representive of the rest of the state, likely should have added that detail into my origonal post. ---

Well if you really want to argue what money is… It’s a method of payment agreed upon by 2 people to pay off debt, services, or goods. If the US Government said, “you can only pay your taxes in Monopoly money!” Then that would be what everyone would use. The idea of “Money” is really a joke. Technically any form of “money” is supposed to be backed by raw materials of value. “Money” is just an IOU. Now here is where we go into the Federal Reserve is a private institution, is above the government, has never been audited, and does not actually back anything. The “US Dollar” is debt based monetary system. And the IRS is the collection arm of the Fed. Also a private institution. You could say a fiat monetary system would be better. But then again that is just backed by IOU again and it’s up to someone else in control to print/make the amount that is in public hands. You need a monetary system backed by actual items of real value, that is actually controlled by “the people” of a corporation/group/state/etc. So yeah, your money isn’t really worth any more than you’re being told it is. ---

Based on a lot of the PNW members of another forum I’m on, guns don’t seem to be too hard to come by. I don’t think all counties do emissions inspections either. If red state really matters to you, just avoid king county (which pays the bulk of the state’s taxes anyways). From what I can tell the education system there isn’t nearly as ass-backwards as many states in the south, so your kids won’t grow up to be dumbasses. Also pot’s legal there now. ---

I’d recommend the area just south of Charlotte, NC. NC is great too, but SC lacks the car inspections and is only 10 minutes from downtown Charlotte. I lived there for 4 years; would do it again. I still own a house in NC if you’re ever looking to rent. 🍺 ---

Everywhere sucks and is awesome at the same time. Don’t like the snow, move to FL. Don’t like old people who can’t drive, move from FL to VT. Don’t like hipsters and cows, move from VT to Nebraska. Don’t like corn, move from Nebraska to Colorado. FUCK more snow, and hipsters again! Live where you can the most things in life that make you happy, and try not to let the other shit outweigh those aspects. KK is probably the worst person to get that advice from! lol ---
