I didn't say unemployment was low in Mass.; I don't know what it is.
There is most definitely a lot of kinky stuff about Mass. Like it was started by Puritans who had a lot of weird ideas. And there are too damn many Democrats, an old part of Mass. history, too.
But, you know, some Republicans have to live here and if you pick the right parts of the state, it's pretty nice. Southeastern Mass. is Zone 6, as warm as a few states below the Mason-Dixon line and the state is 70% forested. Plus the overall crime rate is lower than much of Florida's.
