Spaceman Future! posted:Its a real shame. I love the everglades and the keys and coastal regions in Florida, but every time I think about moving there the sheer craziness of the populace kills any motivation I might have to follow through. Which I guess is ok, my nest egg just has Hawaii House written on it instead. Does anyone know how Puerto Rico is? I kind of want to retire in a Caribbean Island but I don't really want to leave the US.

The other issue with libertarianism is that it's intrinsically linked to White people and especially White Men in a country that is rapidly shifting away from that viewpoint.

joeburz posted:In case you haven't noticed "the will of the people" is code in the southern political environment for "heavy-handed discrimination endorsed by the state". Yeah but that's only because conservatives are the only ones to care about the state governance. I'm sure that if more liberal people controlled the state government but there was some conservative federal issue the conservatives would support the latter over the former (and indeed they literally did during the Fugitive Slave Act era). States rights have only been considered a conservative issue because conservatives are the only ones making use of the powers of the state (at least until those weed bills passed anyway).

I don't see the talking heads decrying the use of tax payer money to pay for that kid's resort stay or any verification that he actually is in the resort. Tax payers weren't originally going to pay for the resort, the family was. The judge later moved him to a state facility in Texas, so no beach resort but public money was used (because it's a state facility).
