Anyone that can help us relocate to Texas or Arizona or South Carolina? I don't care what happens to me but they don't deserve to live their remaining lives in this oppressive, corrupt state.

I take care of my house by myself, I take care of my own car including changing the battery and oil change, I can work on my boiler furnace and I do blood pressure and meds like a nurse. Republicans - red state people - sometimes there ARE people who need help! You can't tell the guy in the wheelchair to get up and take care of his own ass! You know what? Maybe America DID get what was coming to it, because you hard ass Republicans lump everyone in together and have lost all sense of empathy or sympathy. |

We are among the most generous and charitable people you will ever meet here in flyover country, the reddest of the red states. We literally established the world standard for proactive self-help and charity after one tragic event. "The Oklahoma Standard" is known throughout the world as the high point for the intuitive, selfless, immediate response we made for those trapped in a bombed out building. But we do not take kindly to those who beg for help and then curse us. Maybe it's best you stay where you are and bitch on the internet rather than update your resume and apply for any jobs here.

We just think it's a bit ridiculous that they're complaining of living in poverty in a blue state and want to move to a state where it's even harder to do so. You really do have to be more self reliant if you want to be poor in a red state...and changing your own oil is not the measure. |

I helped a friend reloate to Dallas...he had been out of work for 2 years in Michigan and about to run out of cash when we found him a job making $60K here (he's a CPA, fwiw) You have to have enough money to come down for an interview, but there are jobs here and rent is very cheap...I helped him find a 2 br for $660/month and the deposit/movein cost was only $150 including pet deposit Spartenburg SC is becoming the car construction capitol of N.A...very good city to work in I hear However, all things equal, I would focus on Austin or Dallas...they are booming GTFO NY, I agree 100%. I keep urging friends back there to join us here, but most are liberal intellectuals and so bigoted about anything south of Virginia that they would rather go down on a sinking ship than ever consider moving gltu! |

Had the OP come here asking for advice about how to relocate and work here, rather than for financial assistance, the responses would have been overwhelmingly positive and welcoming. Telling someone to "shut the hell up"? We don't take kindly to that here. OP needs to stay at her blue state keyboard, and bitch away. We are as slow to forgive as our own harsh land is to heal from natural disaster. The land itself is harsh, we learn from it. There are no unicorns shitting skittles out its rectum here. We live in timeless reality. Hard work earns a decent life. Begging and bitching -- especially conjoined begging and bitching -- get you shown to the door.
