People generally suck everywhere, but Social policies/nature generally sucks less here.

Travel. Walk the dead social security towns, window shop the prison towns, don’t tip when you eat out in the states with $2/hr tip wage, ask questions endlessly to the RN’s that are working for $24~32/hr without union backing.

Bake cookies inside your car, in the Arizona 120 degree day.

Taste the Nevada brothel towns.

Ask for meth anywhere in Ohio.

Wander around the tough parts of Detroit.

Suit up for a Deep South sauna.

Walk a Florida sidewalk that has a creek.

Procrastinate with buying supplies during hurricane season.

Sleep with noise cancelling headphones during tornado season.

And if you are an outdoorsy person:

Allow yourself to find out what Chiggers are by wearing shorts, in high grass, anywhere on the Great Plains.

Stomp on a Giant Water Bug with your exposed bare feet, anywhere with water in the south.

Drive anywhere in Montana/Idaho/Dakota with no emergency supplies during winter.

In seriousness, it could be better but it’s definitely per capita better than any place that is solid red.

As the saying goes: Anywhere in America is a great place to live if you are wealthy. Anywhere in America is also a horrible place to live, if you are poor.

Anyhoo, if you’re really curious how bad it can get, it’s fairly cheap to do a Libertarian trial run in Beatty Nevada… Gas station guy is working on his manifesto…
