I feel so guilty feeling joy that CT has not changed in the years since leaving it’s idiocy.
A recent trip back there featured resident targeyed advertising evidence of how far that state standard of living has fallen -
Numerous Hartford capitol highway billboards promoted Pawn shop locations, Cremation $999 specials, and Jewelers that paid cash for Rolex watches.
In 1991 Gov Lowell Weicker and democrats rammed a new state income tax down citizen’s throats with the promise it would have a sunset expiration date and solve immediate budget problems.
CT is now in worse fiscal shape than ever before.
As William F Buckley said during that period,
“As a long time state resident, I’ve come to the conclusion that Connecticut is politically retarded.”

Unfort., the retards procreate or, worse yet, move
I grew up in Nassau County, and I feel your pain.
I drive to LI fairly frequently, and I can’t BELIEVE how bad things are in Connecticut. When I was growing up, CT was a sleepy, Republican state with low taxes and low energy.
I recently stopped in Vernon, which was always an OK place to get some chow. OMG, it was like Brooklyn in the 1970s.
WTF happened to Connecticut? It cannot just be taxes, there are lots of nice places with ridiculous taxes.
After spending a week in my home town, my conclusion about the tri-state area is - those people didn’t have enough children. As they aged, their need for illegal immigrants to do their sh*t increased to the point that their people are a minority, soon to be obliterated.
As Steve King said, you cannot save your civilization with other people’s babies.
