I am in NY and looking for a job in Tennessee or South Carolina. My governor does not believe in inconvenient parts of the constitution as they are an impediment to his dictatorial aspirations. I no longer feel welcome in my own state. I am in the process of voting with my feet and wallet. Once gone, NY will not get my tax money, commerce or my productivity. Cuomo can stuff it.
Best job climate in South Carolina is Greenville-Spartanburg area. I travel to Tennessee to visit family; much to like about the Volunteer State but liberals have a foothold there that they don’t have in S.C. Nashville & environs have a Muslim problem, too. Both are gun-friendly states but S.C. has several local firearms makers; one produces AR-15s, another FN-FALs.
Lots of Upstaters don’t like Il Duce Cuomo, either, and they marched on the Albany state house to prove it. A majority of NY counties have passed anti-SAFE act resolutions, as well.
Many states are dominated by the politics of their single largest city. S.C. doesn’t have that problem.
