I have thought I’ve made a big mistake coming back here to retire until I look around and find not much or no better. Missouri?
Or as my dear old mother called it, Missory.
Looks like you have to go Montana, Dakotas or Idaho. Or you do what lots of us do, move out away from the libtard city centers. I’m in Washington state now. You don’t have to get far from Seattle to live among sane people.
Sequoyah, your post is both funny and sad regarding our State. You might be overstating it a bit, but in general, you’r right. I was born here and returned as an adult with a young family. It was the right decision leaving California.
However, this loss is interesting. First, it is a stupid Constitutional Amendment! Something like this should NOT be a State Constitutional item. Second, all the advertisement said 802 was to help the rural counties keep their hospitals open. BUT it was the URBAN areas that voted for it. It failed in the rural areas by a big margin. (Coincidentally, election fraud is easier in the urban environment were you are not known personally by the poll attendants.)
The only silver lining (if there is one), is that the feds pay for 90% of the additional costs by new enrollees. This puts Oklahoma on the same footing as a lot of blue states who were already at the trough in a big way.
