Perfect summary.
You have to be a complete imbecile to live in NYC or Long Island if you work a private sector job.
You’re basically a slave to the government employees and the welfare class, you work to support their free stuff and giant pensions.
I got out in ‘92, been back a few times, the place is basically set up like a prison now, EVERYTHING is illegal, can’t even drive over 35 MPH anywhere in NYC, cops,the city workers, and the criminals take turns victimizing the chumps that work for a living.
In Florida I can drive with a gun in one hand and a cell phone in the other at 75 mph without worrying about getting pulled over.
No State income tax either.
As human beings, we can do a lot of things. That doesn't mean we do them. Mostly because some things are either buck f'n stupid, against the law, or else endanger one's own life, or the life of innocent folk. At the end of yours, you will be held responsible for the fatal decisions you make now. Go take a class in responsible gun ownership. Before it's too late.
