    People have been leaving california for years due to taxes, immigration, etc. It doesn't send the gov a message and the gov doesn't change their ways...All the producers could leave new york and new jersey and the gov there still wouldn't reform.

    This. Think Wyoming, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. Desolate states.

    If you start describing them as desolatte states, this may change.

    Of course, there are probably enclaves within each of those states which are deep blue and filled with residents from other states that came with deep pockets. I know I've come across the like in my travels across the west by motorcycle or four wheels.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    One without a large urban area that is attractive to immigration from states with high taxes. Example - Atlanta is a magnet and is quickly transforming a RED state to PURPLE and unfortunately probably BLUE soon. We are contemplating retirement in northern Alabama or Mississippi,

    I have thought of these - I hunt in Wyoming every year. Too cold for us Southerners.

    My wife would leave after the first snow in June. My biggest quibble was riding a motorcycle leaned over 40 degrees to compensate for the wind.

    Love Wyoming.

    Alabama has Huntsville with both Redstone Arsenal and a growing automotive manufacturing base, and the metro area is growing. Redstone Arsenal is getting a ton of transfers from the DC area for the FBI, and Mazda and Toyota are building a new vehicle assembly plant. That is bringing in multiple automotive suppliers.

    Not everyone leaving is like that. I know a lot are. But some of us hated it and moved to get away to somewhere that had a chance to fight it off before it circles the tubes. There is no chance for NYS residents to win any of the battles ahead of them.

    Lord, I miss Kentucky. We left NYS and lived there a few years. Then, the whole family moved out of NYS and settled in Florida. So now we're here. But Kentucky changes something in your soul.

    This is an interesting comment. I wonder how much we will see conversations among family begin to shift from the lines of blood, to the ideological tribe, whether governed by spirituality, politics, economics, etc....
