With every passing day, I become more grateful that I decided to move to Florida!

I'd like to also. But we need to go beyond joking about them and running away. We need to oppose these things, and if necessary, go down with the ship.

Otherwise, it just continues to get worse for us, not to mention our descendants, who will certainly be cursing us in the coming decades.

I think "voting" with your feet sends the message.

Agreed ... possibly.

Seriously, yes I have been debating the correct response (i.e. beyond self-preservation), and it's not entirely clear. The damage De Blasio did with his reckless overkill makes me wonder about what the rich people who fled here last year were thinking, especially months later. Why didn't they seem to have enough power to resist the idiocy that was destroying the (city-based part of their) wealth -- and continues to threaten it through Kathy Hochul, and possibly the arm-twisting of Eric Adams?

Complaining, while still in NYC, would have been racist.

But haven't you heard? Gov. "DeathSantis" is killing us all here! LOL What a joke. And by joke I mean the fear-porn, not the actual virus and its implications.

That source is not very reliable. Just look at the bias in the other articles listed at the link. Actually Governor DeSantis has been quite active. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2021/12/31/no-liberals-gov-desantis-is-not-currently-on-vacation-n2601249

You aren't seriously telling me that "Townhall" is more reliable than "The Hill".

The information in the article you posted is exactly what a Press Secretary covering for her boss would put out. Just like when "what's-his-name" went hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Don't get me wrong though. I'm not saying that "The Hill" is gospel.

My post was suppose to be kind of ironic and hilarious.

Thanks for the humor.

No, I'm not saying that. Just that The Hill is biased heavily toward the Democrats, based on the articles they list. I am sure Town Hall also is biased, but not worse than The Hill.

Mark the non-hiker hiker?
