Florida is now one of the most financially stressed states in the country, second only to another Southern state, according to a new report by WalletHub, which defines financial distress as having credit in forbearance or deferring payments due to financial difficulty.
“When you combine data about people delaying payments with other metrics like bankruptcy filings and credit score changes, it paints a good picture of the overall economic trends of a state,” WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said about the findings.
Blue states need to stop paying taxes. Taxation without representation no bueno. We can take the immigrants an ya’ll can have your theocratic dictatorship run by the imbecile pedo con man.
ya’ll can have your theocratic dictatorship
Nope, give them that and they’ll use it as base of operations for perpetually harassing the rest of us because their politics don’t work unless they’re always on the attack, we have to actually deal with Republicans and neutralize their ability to harm us
Fair point but it doesn’t seem like we’re going to neutralize anything at this point and it’s worrying
Blue states need to secede.
While it’s a nice sentiment it runs into the rather awkward problem that states don’t actually pay any taxes. People and businesses pay taxes, not states. Exactly who is going to protect the citizens of a state when the IRS comes down on them for not paying their federal taxes?
2nd amendment time I guess. We protect our communities and state from tyranny
Ok. You first.
That has always been the problem with the 2a crowd from either side. Momentum. The first few ten or hundred or thousand are considered crazy wildcards and psychopaths.
Luigi may be a patron saint to a lot of people, but ain’t nobody stepping up without more momentum. And it never showed up.
This isn’t any different, and that’s why it doesn’t work yet. Pay your taxes. Use the rest on things you support. Take that tax write off to give the gov a little less and donate to causes that are important. Get in arguments and talk politics at the bar and with your family, but put the guns away. It doesn’t help. So enough of it.
Momentum is what’s important.
We could build a wall. The red states will pay for it
Blue states make it illegal for citizens to pay their federal taxes with threat of prison. Simple.
You’re gonna get Gilead with that playbook
It’s becoming giliad without the resistance. We need the resistance
I mean by spitting red states and blue states. You definitely need to resist, and way more than has taken place
Shit states lead to shit lives. It’s not hard.
They have to deflect from their failed states by attacking the successful states like California and New York.
Fucking welfare states /s
As somebody from Upstate NY, I can’t say I feel too bad for them. The south has been holding this country back for decades tbh…
Can we just break up the country already? Let the Jesusland states go wallow in their stupidity and let the rest of must continue on into the 21st century.
Fuck the red states.
Seems like it would end up as 3+ countries. You have like Cascadia + CO/NM (maybe AZ?) and New England + MN/WI/IL and then Magastan separating them. Hawaii could just mahalo on out of this bullshit. Maybe Alaska just says “fuck this, eh?”
I’m good with that.
With the party of financial responsibility at the helm, of course.
FUCK YEAH!!! SUCK IT, FLORIDA!!!
We are number one! We are number one!
Don’t messes with Texas, bitches!
-PEW! PEW!-
Whoops! Celebratory gunshot accidentally sent a celebratory bullet into a school. Eh, the kids are used to it
Good and hopefully the decline continues in both red run deregulated Oblasts.
By average not by extremes. I think a few years ago a UN Special Report revealed startling examples of extreme poverty in several places in the USA.
A couple of decades ago I was driving around New Mexico sightseeing and drove into a reservation. The poverty I saw hits really hard even now
lol. I got the fuck out of there finally. Sink FL, Sink!
Nooooo I can’t leave until next summer. Stay up for a little longer Florida!
Just get to whichever blue state you’re able to afford to get to. It might be CO. Poverty is a policy choice. People want to bitch and moan about property costs in CO but I’d happily pay those costs under a presumption that I’ll sooner or later have some equity out of those costs.
In FL, a huge chunk of your COL is insurance and power bills. The power company feeds like 20% of their income into GOP election campaigns. You literally need to leave the state in order for Republicans to lose their campaign finances.
