The 10 worst states to live and work in are all red ones. The list is topped and tailed by the two big ones, Texas and Florida.

No surprises there.

Huh, people are voting with their feet.

Orlando. Yikes. Enjoy these next several months of beautiful weather. They should be a nice small preview of what the summer next year will have in store.

By the time you are looking in September there should still be plenty of room in Wyoming or Idaho where you kindred spirits tend to gather.

Wait too long after that and DeSantis will have had time to build a wall to keep you in.

Cut off again basically Florida is the #1 growth state for 2022-2023. People are voting with their feet about which is the best state to move to.

Florida is mind numbing in its flatness.  Keys are lovely, however.   Given the huge quantities of bugs and lizards, I'm pretty sure our cats would love it.  While it's not my cup of tea, the 160 AQI here this morning makes it look sort of inviting.  A tactical mistake, opening our windows last night.

It will be highs in the upper seventies with humidity and AQI hovering around 60 into next week in this unrivaled den of iniquity we call San Diego. It might be a degree off perfect, but we will try to find a way to manage. After all that is what we have microclimates for.

A typical Floridian with an equivalent house pays as much as I do for insurance, taxes, security and pest control just for their insurance.

Good thing for them there is no chance their rates will continue to rise in the near future.

I do not know how Newsom thinks that California is doing so great, our whole state is in a crisis, and Los Angeles and San Bernardino both declared a state of emergency. Our state is in a crisis.

The workers here are all fighting for fair pay and good treatment so that they do not have to work full time to live in their cars, etc. It is important for the hard working people to be able to earn a fair living, and hard work must pay off. And we have a huge gap between the poor and the rich in America. Of note as well is that many employers here in California are heartless foreign corporations which only care about money and not about people, so the Unions must fight for fair pay and good treatment, and we can force the heartless foreign corporations to be altruistic because it is in our best interest to do so. Collective bargaining is the only way we can make the corporations treat people fair.

We need to decide that it is not acceptable to have homeless people all over our streets, and workers living in their cars. If you work, you need to at least be able to get a shower and a bed at a hostel for $15.

Salute,

Tony V.

Florida is a beautiful state, I wish Jeb Bush was in charge still instead of the scumbags who are running Florida now.

I would love to own a little night club on the sand in Florida, built cheaply so that if a hurricane destroys it then it will be cheap to rebuild, it can be like a tiki bar in Hawaii. And I love the women in Florida, they are more down to earth and less greedy than the women in California.

I could serve pina coladas to women in bikinis all night, while live bands play.

I applied for a job at a great little night club on the sand in Cocoa Beach, if I would have gotten the job then I would have stayed there.

Salute,

Tony V.

My wealthiest friend spent her whole life doing charity work to help the homeless, she was my hero, she was worth over 100 million dollars but she still helped the homeless everyday until she died. She was a special person, and she made other people feel special.

She was part of the ruling class from the Philippines, and her best friend was a cousin of President Gloria Arroyo. They came to the USA and opened many successful businesses, while at the same time doing charity work and helping the homeless.

The Philippines is a good Christian country, and they are good allies. Japan attacked the Philippines during World War II and was extremely brutal and evil to the people of the Philippines. General Douglas MacArthur helped to save the Philippines, and the people of the Philippines love the USA very much.

San Francisco needs to welcome people from the Philippines to help to save San Francisco. There are people who want to kill America, and there are wonderful people who want to save America, and the good Christians from the Philippines love America and they want to save America.

And the people from the Philippines can open cheap hostels in San Francisco where people can shower and sleep in a bed for $15 per night.

My friend was amazing, she was rich, but she was a servant for the poor. She was truly a servant of God. And that is what California needs.

Salute,

Tony V.

Making private equity strictly regulated and transparent in all its operations solves many of the crises facing workers and families in California and across the United States.

MTG thinks Biden will get it done and it will help make Build Back Better as much a part of the fabric, backbone and character of our nation as the New Deal and Great Society. Progressive policies can once again fuel the uplift of all our population especially those vehemently opposed to progressivism, the same ones who tend need both support and restrictions more than most.
