Kalifornikator is a shit hole and LA is the biggest toilet bowl while SF has the most human waste/capita in the state.

Still wish he was in KC.
At the risk of breaking the 10th Commandment I’d kinda sorta like to have his “problem”.
Early in my career, I had an offer for a new job that gave me visions of $$$ dancing in my head.
I knew California was more expensive than Texas and wanted to see how this could impact things. Hmmm early 80s so no internet with gobs of info seconds away.
My strategy was to drive into Houston for several weekends, pop into a newsstand and pick up several Sunday newspapers to scan real estate and grocery store ads.
Food quite a bit more expensive. Real estate LOTs more expensive. For the dazzling salary increase, I couldn't afford an equivalent home closer than 40 miles from Walnut Creek where the office was.
I turned down the job telling the company I wasn't willing to reduce my lifestyle or drive a 40 mile commute each way. If they would double my existing salary though, I would move from TX to CA. Company turned down my counter offer. Lol. I was satisfied with that outcome.
Despite the state taxes, NJ pays the most to the fed per household.
Contrary to what the libs will tell you, state taxes do factor into a lot of people’s decision on where they’ll live. They can add up, a lot. I moved to Florida several years ago mainly to avoid state taxes and it’s one of the best things I’ve done. It’s saved me $20-30K a year depending upon what I earned that year, and I don’t make anywhere near NFL player money.
Why would anyone want to be in New Joisey?
Can you imagine how much Rush saved over the years by living in Florida?
No state estate tax, too.
Why would anyone name a child Tyreek? What does he reek of?
Nah. KC is having a very good season without him. The draft picks they got in the trade gave the team some badly-needed depth. Relying that much on Hill wasn’t healthy. Especially if he stopped being healthy.
I noticed a trend years ago with players on New York’s baseball teams — mainly the Yankees. Derek Jeter may have been the one who started the trend … or at least he was the one who made me notice it first.
1. The players for these teams would always establish a state with no income taxes (or very low rates) as their primary residence. In Jeter’s case, he’d still pay New York State and New York City income taxes for home games (50% of the schedule), but his income for road games would be taxed at the rates for those cities and states and he wouldn’t have to report it on his NYS/NYC tax returns. Importantly, any income he earned outside baseball (like his Nike and Ford endorsement deals) would not be taxed in New York.
2. Almost every time a prominent player for the Yankees was injured and was removed from the team roster for a defined number of games, the local media sports reports always included a variation of this single line in their reporting on this story: “Derek Jeter has been assigned to the Yankees’ spring training facility in Tampa, Florida while rehabilitating from his injury.” After seeing this a few times I realized why this was being done: The player would not be taxed in New York for the games he missed, as long as he wasn’t reporting to Yankee Stadium or sitting at home in New York while the games were played there. The team issued the media reports about the rehabilitation assignment in Florida so they would serve as evidence for the player in case of a tax audit in New York.
NJ pays a lot of Fed taxes because the high cost of living drives up salaries; our minimum wage is $13 (statewide), and in January it will be $14.13 - because it isn’t just set to rise to $15 in annual $1 steps, but also has an inflation adjustment.
One of the consequences of this (besides killing jobs) is that all of our payroll taxes increase - including Social Security and Medicare contributions, which are non-refundable.
NJ has become a horrible business environment; employers must also provide up to 40 hours of paid sick leave to all employees (including part-time, non-profits, etc.), so basically every job has paid “vacation” required (the conditions under which those days may be used are very broad).
Boy wish our state could become NORTH FLORIDA!
Back in the early 80s worked as a headhunter. There were tables available to provide parity numbers for moves around the country.
10 years ago I moved from MD to FL working for same company, my paycheck increased $500.00 a month. That is how much I was paying the sad state of MD tax each month.
Eye opening.
Chiefs shouldn’t have traded him

If the NFL wanted to, they could make all employees of all NFL teams, employees of the NFL, which is located in California.
is this based on his actual salary or his salary cap average for the contract(usually a big difference, ill see if i can find it)
