Well, of course, this is just total racist bulldoodoo.

Nobody today has "done anything wrong" in re, slavery 200 years ago.
You have to be a real racist bastid to say that since slave owners were white, then all white people *today* are slave owners -
all except for the precious @kevcvs57, of course. And you thick-as-a-brick libs think you are not racist?? Crimminy!


What fukking tripe.
Oh look your lying again, no one is saying any given white persona living today is somehow responsible for slavery, but to deny it was a crime against humanity and even to bar children from learning about it because it might upset the little white princes and princesses is racist because it denies black children of a massive and pertinent truth about their history in order for racist white parents not to have to answer any awkward questions.
Clearly you and the other racists on the forum would like schools to be run on the Fox News system and just tell the children what the parents want to hear and screw the actual truth.

here is the problem with your argument…what you said above is not true, and you know its not true. Im just trying to figure out your motive for doing this 🧐

Schools in Florida do teach black history (slavery). The issue here is (teaching black queer theory)…why would you be for that?

what does that have to do with Florida?

Because liberals are tired of being politically marginalized due to all living in the same spot. Those States are going to turn purple soon.
Then the whole country will be marginalized?
Libs destroy cities/counties/states/countries, then they get sick of what they created and move on to do the same thing in the next state.
They are locusts of humanity.

Give complete control of government to conservatives and they run up absurd, unsustainable deficits.

Admit it. We need libs just to blame for stuff. If we didn't have libs we'd have to hold our elected officials accountable. And that's not as fun.

Enjoy your new home in Hicksville. You’ll have to commute back to Jew York for Synagogue every weekend though. Oh yeah that’s where the business is happening too. And the kosher grocery stores.

And don’t forget Elon Musk lost two hundred billion dollars when he moved to Texas under similar circumstances. Do you think his tax decrease made up for it?
South Florida is growing so fast as an Orthodox Jewish enclave that it might eclipse Jew York City in the next decade or two (assuming Ocean County, NJ, is not included as JYC).

I'm not worried about Elon Musk. I am aggravated by paying insanely high property taxes to fund a failing public school system that I don't use and that is incompetent despite spending per child that's double what I pay for my kids' parochial school.

I'm reluctant to get into another covid fight right now (we've been through this a zillion times), but the plain fact remains that the closing of outdoor recreation facilities and the force-masking of children into 2022 (along with countless other little things) exposed this government as dogmatic idealogues more interested in virtue signaling than science.

I'm sure there is also plenty of stupidity in how they govern themselves in Florida and Texas, I get it. And I'm not leaving New York any time soon (for one thing, my wife won't leave her family), but I've got no more respect for how my local and state government operate. Incompetence is too light a word for how Albany functions these days.

===Give complete control of government to conservatives and they run up absurd, unsustainable deficits.===

I'll agree with you there. The inability to stop the tax cut/more military spending mantra is insane.

But with all that insanity, I'll take a mantra that leaves the basics of free markets intact over an ideology that looks at free markets as a fundamentally bad thing.

People in those States have higher income BECAUSE they are in those States with the huge ports and diverse populations
Huge ports got them the head starts and success as a major city with lots of human resources is a positive feedback mechanism that keeps you dominant.

But with the collapse of the in-person white collar office, the cycle is slowly breaking. NYC's advantage over Omaha or Nashville or Charleston is slipping and could be nonexistent in another couple of decades.

Diversity is all fine and good, but I don't know what that has to do with income per capita.

Aside from the fact that there's a greater over-all talent pool because there are more people in the talent pool, do you think similarly situated companies with similar talent levels will do better merely as a function of having greater diversity?

Are there any controlled studies of this question that you know of?

Asking to ask, not to mock.

I'll take results over mantras. They've been telling us for generations that they are the party of limited government, but their actions do not support the mantra.
