    I'm making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning 16,000 US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply.

    In the percentile breakdown graphics, there's one unlabelled box in the South, and four in the West. Mystery states? And Missouri shows up in the South and Midwest.

      Missouri is kind of in both. Once a border state, always a border state.

        According to regional pronunciation:
        Missourah is outstate and very red, Missouri is the urban/suburban counties(purple) and cities(blue).

      It's the Missouri Compromise!

    Some Massholes and New Yawkers moved here since covid. They are often easy to spot due to the diapers adorned on their faces.

      So brave.

    From the chart, clearly the reason is weather. With an added factor of cost. People moving from cold and wet New England and Midwest states to sunny and affordable for retirees Florida.

    I would like to see similar charts for Arizona, once the retiree destination. Of course, California is hemorrhaging the middle class. And the poor (serfs) and affluent (lords) remain.

    I prefer to read this map as Florida using a giant penis to fuck New York.

    But the other rainbow penises worry me.

    Unfortunately for the US, this massive migration to Florida helped Biden and the Dummycrats win victories in key swing states in 2022 (because most migrants who left those states for Florida would have otherwise voted for the GOP).

    Hopefully, 10% of the idiots in the US who voted for Biden in 2020 will sober up, and reelect the best President of my lifetime next year, who will Make America Great Again.

  7. BigT   2 years ago

    I would be interested in where the various migrants moved to within Florida.

    We bought a vaca condo in the Panhandle (near Destin) and there are very few NY-NJ-MA people here (Thank Zod!), mostly friendly Midwesterners. During snowbird season about 30% of the influx is from Canaduh.

    It would be more interesting to know the balance. If 102K Texans moved to Florida, how many folks moved from Florida to Texas?
