Less big brother.
Less state taxes.
Ability to go to a gun store and get what you want. Some states allow you to walk out with your purchase if you have a concealed carry card/license/permit.
Less dumbasses.

Well, for Tennessee, expect low taxes / low services. Example: High schools will NOT have swimming pools. Don't expect government run trash pickup, you will probably have several companies competing for your business. Select your own or even do it yourself.

If Texas is your destination...no state income taxes, but high property taxes.
It's a big state, lots of people in the cities but lots of open spaces especially west Texas.
Texas LTC (License to Carry) a legal form of identification within the state. When purchasing a firearm, the FFL is not required to run the background check. Fill out the 4473 and leave with your new firearm.
Buying a home, don't forget your U-Haul full of cash. Competition for home purchases is fierce, expect to lose if you offer asking price.
Lots of your former neighbors from PRC though.

FLASH: POTUS Wanna-Be Newsum invites new Sugar-Daddy to meet soon-to-be X-POTUS Biden at APEX Love-Fest


SACRAMENTO, Calif. —

After a week of sightseeing, city hopping and meetings throughout China, Gov. Gavin Newsom is back in California. "All of us are recharging here as we get back. I haven't had time to be candid with you to truly fully digest," the governor said on a call with reporters Tuesday. "We're in the process of doing just that as we prepare for meetings around APEC."

As I have posted elsewhere - Newsome hosting any sort of gathering between Winnie the Pooh and Lesko Brandon makes me think of a line from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome...

Who run Bartertown?


In my imagination, Xi is master and Lesko Brandon is Blaster...
...just sayin'

The only thing Brandon is blasting is his underwear.

I'm sure that everyone has seen Thunderdome about a zillion times - but just a quick recap...

'Master' is an odd-looking little fellow - but he is the brains behind the operation. He looks funny - much like Xi has an infamous similarity to Winnie the Pooh. He controls the flow of the very product that keeps Thunderdome working...
...almost like the Chinese providing the cheap, affordable, disposable, shitty consumer products that seem to fuel our consumption-based economy.

Blaster looks tough - acts tough - and when unleashed, can actually cause chaos and destruction. Sure, he wields a certain degree of power - but truth be known, he doesn't really understand or comprehend his power or its real value - he just throws his weight around when directed.
On his own, Blaster is just a fucking imbecile - but he is a weaponized imbecile - and he is used to keep people in line - but in the absence of instruction, Baster can't even tie his own shoes. His primary job is just moving the Master from place to place.
"...look at his face, he's got the mind of a child"

WHO.RUN.BARTERTOWN?!?!
...Master Blaster runs Bartertown.
Embargo... lifted.

Indeed - from my foxhole - Lesko appears to be very much the Blaster from Thunderdome.
...and if you dig a little deeper, that would probably make Gavin Newsome take on the persona of Aunty Entity - the face of Thunderdome - just waiting for someone like Max Rokatansky to come along to help reset the power structure
but the cycle repeats itself

Where you're heading to, it'll be:

A Waffle House on every corner.
Yard sales in every yard.
PBR on special ... EVERY day.
Moon Pies and RC cola for b-fast.
Some damn fine B&G.
Hardees gets a 5 star rating.
Banjo music can be heard in the distance.
It's illegal to post pics of food on your social media pages (unless it's one of the above mentioned, fine dinning establishments).

and above all else .... FREEDOM.

Welcome to the United States.

Meanwhile, here in Pineleand

Three men were about to be executed by the firing squad.
The first man was brought forward and before they could shoot him he yelled "avalanche"! The firing squad panicked and in the confusion, the man jumped over the wall and into freedom before the firing squad could regroup.

The second man thought what the first man did was clever and when he was brought forward for his execution, he yelled "earthquake"! Again, the firing squad panicked and the second man took advantage of it to jump over the wall and into freedom.

The third man thought he saw the pattern: yell a disaster and jump over the wall. When he was finally brought forward, with a smirk on his face he yelled "fire"!

You could always come home to Pineland.... we have some freedom...for now
