South Dakota? How many FReepers would consider that state as a destination for migration?
How’s the weather out there most of the time?
The winters are brutal but I dunno, she could be my Governor anytime!
God's country! Gov Noem on a Buffalo Round-up.
I have a couple of friends, Colorado natives like myself, who have taken refuge in South Dakota after being driven away by the liberals who have taken over our beloved home state. They tell me there's Coloradans everywhere in South Dakota.
I'm looking into retiring there when my military career ends.
And Dire Wolves don't do well in the South.
East part flat and farmland, west part more hilly with ranch land and lot of Indian Reservations-the Black Hills, Badlands, etc. The Missouri runs through it and there is some great fishing AND pheasant hunting there.
Winters are REALLY cold and like all plains states, blizzards-the snow goes sideways resulting in whiteouts.
Find a Hutterite community and get some land aside them. Make friends with them and all that. You’ll never starve. Need to know German though.
And there are very few people spread out over a lot of land.
Don’t forget your wool socks.
I'm in the middle of starting a business. The plan is to have employees in 18 to 24 months. I will have to change the form of business from a sole proprietorship to an S-Corp or LLC (most likely that later). PA has 9.99% tax on S-Corps (still taxed as an individual at the Federal level) and on single entity LLCs. I will not be doing business in PA in 18 to 24 months.
South Dakota has no individual income tax or corporate income tax or gross receipts tax. It treats single entity LLCs like individuals, the way it should be, and most other states do as well.
Wyoming is the same. They also have a very low sales tax - 4%. They are on the list as is South Dakota.
There are a number of other business and personal requirements beyond taxes and all will be considered, but number one on my list is keeping my hard earned money to expand my business so it is self operating so I can leave as a legacy to my children and grandchildren.
The weather is a consideration, particularly as I get older. My understanding is the wind blows something fierce in winter. I can deal with cold, it's a little bit more difficult for me to get knocked down by a wind that rips right through you.
No income tax in South Dakota...
Depends on season. Summers can be an oven and winters? Well let’s put it this way...there’s nothing between you and the wind and cold from the north pole except great plains!

Great! No income tax, wide open spaces and no filthy big democrat cities. World class destination for pheasant hunting and gun laws to die for. Huge reservations though.
We must make sure that President Trump is reelected first. If the Marxists steal the election through massive vote fraud, they will be coming for all of us including the currently free states.
The Rapid City area is considered a banana belt!
Was at a plastic model contest in Rapid City a few years back. I could live there. Just up the road from Denver.
The weather has four seasons. There are frigid days and hot days throughout the year. Overall, pleasant weather much of the year.
I lived in Sioux Falls on the eastern side from age 9-19. I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB outside Rapid City on the west side from 85-89. I still live only 3 hrs south of Sioux Falls, in the Omaha NE area.
Those were great years in a great state with no income tax and a lot to see and do across the state.
The salon owner could do much worse and should consider a visit to the state.
