Governor Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 5 hours ago, Buffalo Timmy said: I have been to Patterson, Camden, and Newark and if you think they have anything good vs where I live on Florida you are nuts. And we have already had this discussion the only ranking that NJ beats FL educationally is in spending, as far as performance FL wins. You lose again. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/public-school-rankings-by-state

If you’re in your 20’s and wanna dick around in Florida for a few years, that’s perfectly fine, but have a plan and exit strategy. if you’re in your 30’s and just moved your family to Florida, you just made a terrible mistake unless you’re coming from an equally wretched place like Ohio, Missouri, etc. We got really lucky and escaped the South in our 40’s and it’s totally different in NJ now. It’s a real pleasure to live here. Quality of life is amazing. Edited June 18, 2021 by Governor

So let me ask you @BillStime what makes this different that what’s been happening here for a long time? It's funny, because a-holes like Dan Patrick, Greg Abbott and (especially) Ted Cruz have sustained their relevance with conservatives here, with a steady diet of "look what a mess California is, with their rolling blackouts". Yet they can't handle their own issues. It would be funnier to me, if I didn't live in Texas.

And what's even funnier are a-hole liberals pointing a finger at Texas as if rolling blackouts are something new and unique to Republican lead TX when we've had them in CA for years. Thanks for pointing out the massive hypocrisy. 👍

Cruz and company have been making it seem like rolling blackouts in California are the result of some political failing of the "evil Democrat paradise of California". You don't see the irony in that? I wouldn't expect you to...you just like to argue and flex. I get it.

We have a major budget surplus and Newsom wants to use that to "bribe" people to not recall him. You use the word irony. I use the word hypocrisy. While Cruz may be ironic most on the left are being hypocrites. Energy problems are why Gray Davis was recalled nearly 20 years ago. 20 ***** years and we still have our issues. Who do you blame for that?

It has been an issue for some time now...and has been coming more frequently. The area I live has had 3 power outages since the big one in February. None lasted an entire day, but went as long as 12 hours. In 2011 there was a massive power outage too, where 3.2 million lost power. The feds did a review that year, and warned that we were headed for more frequent power outages, and needed to upgrade. The recommendations were not followed, to any degree. Abbott's whole schtick (as well as Rick Perry before him), is suing the Federal Government... they don't want or need the federal governments suggestions, thank you

My most recent experience In or around Newark was notable, holidays 2019 just off of 95. Literally hundreds of feet across a river from the most valuable real estate in the country. Stopped for gas and decided to grab some wine to have a nightcap after I get back to hime In Maryland… Went into a wine store right off of the main drag, the whole store was behind plexiglass with a bank teller window all customers in a small vestibule. Someone twitching on the floor pissing themselves and the others in line seemed to wasted or indifferent to notice. Guy banging on the window asking for a price on some thing he wanted saying ima kill you… I just got back in the car and drive home…good times. Edited June 18, 2021 by Over 29 years of fanhood

NJ, outside of the Cherry hill area maybe, is not great and not even Cheryl Hill has anything over my town except Wegmans. My area has had to open 3 new high schools in the past 5 years because so many northerners are coming to live here, along with foreign nationals. Your argument is for a state that is losing people to my state, so keep believing what you want but there is a reason my town has exploded in population while yours doesn't grow.

Your argument is for a state that is losing people to my state, so keep believing what you want but there is a reason my town has exploded in population while yours doesn't grow. My county has stayed the same population over the last 10 years. 500k people. That’s 200k too much for me. Why would you want to live somewhere that’s overpopulated and has no industry/jobs? The “leaving NJ in droves” narrative is a decade old. If people are still leaving, it’s the red counties in South Jersey and that’s wonderful if true. I would love to believe that all of “those people” are leaving but I’m a bit skeptical. There’s no shortage of hicks in South Jersey and parts of NW Jersey. There’s still confederate flags and active Klan about 30 minutes west of me. You should tell them that Florida is a “libertarian utopia” and they should come down right away. You cant find houses to buy anywhere in this area. It’s still overpopulated. People coming down to you are people that couldn’t make it up here. As someone once famously said…..”They aren’t sending their best.” Edited June 19, 2021 by Governor
