i’ve visited him twice, and i wouldn’t want to live there, but it’s one of the fastest growing regions of the country. at one point 100 people a day were moving to the nashville suburbs.

it’s not because americans want to be imprisoned.

it’s not on the water, doesn’t have great mountains or skiing. but it offers a great quality of life at a fraction of the cost of living in new england. and the state leaves you pretty much alone..

very different from CT.

i hear Florida is a post apocalyptic wasteland thanks to Deathsantis ( ha ha ha makes me laugh every time) and Gov Cuomo is “the gold standard” according to Biden, he was so awesome the Hollywood invented an award to give him.

It's my understanding that when China had decided to build slave labor camps to put the Uyghurs in, they modeled those camps based on the concentration camps in TN.
