Grazing back through the threads...Are these ideas supposed to be linked somehow?
I moved to Florida because Californians moved into Oregon and F'd it up.
I've been in Florida 32 years. Finished a professional career and have since retired from a lucrative small business. Have investments, savings, cookie jar cash, resources.
Oregon, my beloved state, could never have done that for me because of Californians.
North Easterners have moved here for years (different Californian sect). They hold sway in at least four counties with large urban populations.
Florida still remains a MAGA state. Triggered? Of course you are. MAGA, MAGA, MAGA. How's your breathing?
Relax, breath through your nose, exhale through your mouth, accept that people smarter than you actually exist and are thriving.
Funny that "smart people" can read my mind; can characterize my lived experience in such a way as it can conform to their emotional need.
One word: Pathetic.

Avoid sarcasm and facetious remarks.
Without the voice inflection and body language of personal communication these are easily misinterpreted. A sideways smile has become widely accepted on the net as an indication that "I'm only kidding". If you submit a satiric item without this symbol, no matter how obvious the satire is to you, do not be surprised if people take it seriously.[8]
In 2017, Wired published an article calling it "2017's Most Important Internet Phenomenon", and wrote that "Poe's Law applies to more and more internet interactions.""

I didn't expect a "smart people" answer and you didn't surprise. Must have hit a nerve.
Btw, even though you could care less about anyone but yourself, I hope your abode does't get damaged or destroyed by Ian and that you and your loved ones are safe and uninjured. Yet another reason to avoid Florida, they just keep stacking up.
Are you asking me to ban you?JamesR,
I can't find the "sit in the corner tab". Any help?
