Just realized this happened a day after Veterans Day, no wonder he was so pissed that the chat didn't immediately start licking his boots.

She was smiling, laughing and overall looking so fucking pleased with herself during her loser speech.
She always finds new ways to make me sick.
Welcome back, certified pogchamp.
For sure, if it weren't for the money, I would have high tailed it out of here years ago.
Same with Florida, and they can't blame all of it on chuds moving here. I doubt the numbers would add up.
Democrats need to come to terms with the fact that they completely disenfranchised the working class, but they won't.
Do you have orgs near you? Hell, even the DSA. Just somewhere you can start making in person leftist friends.
Even if you don't manage to move out of state, it can really help your sanity.
Oh, I agree about Vermont being wonderful, I used to fantasize about that state back when I believed in Bernie. But last time I checked the housing market there, it wasn't a matter of housing being too expensive, but literally nothing being on the market.
Admittedly, last time I checked was around covid. Now I'm checking Zillow and seeing roughly 2.3k units for sale across the entire state, which isn't great, but at least moving there is possible again. Out of those units, roughly.... 200ish are kind of affordable to the average single income household. If you're not picky about being near a big city, it's doable.
It sounds like you need to travel with more people, especially if the area you're moving to is more expensive than your current place.
Personally, my plan has been taking so long because I needed to guarantee that at least one other person I could trust would move out of state with me and split rent for at least one lease. Well now I have a partner, and we might even have extra friends that want in on the move. The more people to split risks and costs with, the better, and we'll have over a year to finalize details and make sure that at least half of us can get either out of state jobs or fully online jobs.
Either that or you'll have to find someone that already lives in an area you like and is willing to take a chance on you, either as a roommate or more reliably as a partner. But that comes with its own risks.
I heard Vermont is one of the most difficult states to move to if you're not already a multimillionaire. All housing is extra scarce there, even rentals. Much less affordable housing.
But if there's a real path with farming or a large group of people all contributing, then go for it.
Same, I didn't realize how exhausted I was masking at work as an autistic person every day until I was allowed to stop doing it.
If anything, I actually get more work done now than pre-pandemic.
