Anyone considering moving?

[Turd Ferguson]

As a resident in NC, I'm thinking "why move"? It's a solid purple State and if you live in a "blue" area it's not so bad. We will now have -for the foreseeable future - a Democrat Governor (with a little bit of veto power), a Dem. Lt. Guv., a Dem. A.G. , a Dem. Sec. of State AND ALSO a Dem. Superintendent of Publicks Instruxshun.

If you are already in a Blue area in N.C. - you should be OK for the most part. Sure, Trump/Musk could tank the economy and make life miserable for immigrants... but that's going to affect us no matter which State you live in.

Now, as far a moving ex-pat style to another country, that's certainly something to research. But that's not so easily done unless you have the kind of money that would have had you voting for Trump anyway... for the tax breaks of course. If you're young(er) and have the kind of job where you can work remotely - from anywhere in the world - you can look around. Perhaps you can sign on with an international company...

Finally, there are 7 countries I know of whereby you can sign up for dual citizenship if one of your parent's or Grandparents were born there. Germany, Italy, Ireland just to name a couple... do the research

Makes no sense how all the top state races went to the Dems but Trump won NC.

My wife found 10 acers in Minnesota for a really good price. It's close to Duluth.

Anyone live in that area? From reading the reviews, Duluth seems like a pretty nice place.

My son lives in Plymouth. About 20 minutes west of Minneapolis. We've visited several times and really like the area. Duluth is around 2.5 hours north, and, according to my son, a really nice place, especially in the summer months. Winter weather can be brutal, but the springs and summers are really incredible too.

OG, I owe you an apology.

I was very rude in response to one of your first couple of post. I made a poor assumption based off of your user name and the first couple of post.

I had you on super ignore until a couple of days ago.

After reading several of your post these last few days, I believe I misjudged you and I shouldn't have made the rude post.

Thanks for the information about Minnesota.

I've been reading and it looks interesting. My wife has talked about it, but I'm not sure she's ready for feet of snow.

We might take a weekend trip around February or March to get a taste of the area.

I would also need a job where I am equally as overpaid as I am now.

Trump was a once in a generation candidate for turning out the Republican base and expanding that base to include working class voters of all races, religions and creeds.

That, plus the Republicans had some really bad candidates in the down ballot statewide races. Led by Robinson of course. Robinson impacted a ton of the other down ballot candidates negatively.

99% of the board is about politics, can you two find another thread for this?

I want to talk about places in the US or other countries that would be fun to live in. We need a thread or two without the doom and gloom.

I'd encourage a long weekend trip instead of just a regular weekender. I've found that discount airlines like Allegiant and Sun Country (who I've grown to like) fly to Minneapolis on Sundays and Thursdays (or another combination of days), which would give you a great, longer weekend type of visit, which in turn will give you more of a chance to explore!
