This State is driving me insane!!
I just moved to Idaho a year ago from Florida.
Florida is what it is and I'm sure we all know what that is. Needed a change.
I love the scenery here and I really like that it's sparsely populated.
The people are at least 25 years behind. I can't get anything accomplished. They don't even seem to understand me. Billing depts., jobs, grocery stores, dating.. etc!
I can't even find a good cup of coffee. There's no signs or directions, I get lost everywhere. I once drove 100 miles to a remote town called Atlanta because I went right instead of left. It was cool but I got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere.
Maybe I'm just frustrated. I do have a bit of an east coast attitude. I don't want to go but I don't know if I can stay. Has anyone ever felt like they just don't belong somewhere but really want to?

Re: This State is driving me insane!!
OP, I moved to Hawaii a few years back, I'd been vacationing with my family there for my entire life, and we had a bunch of friends on Maui. I grew up in L.A., but I've traveled extensively all over the country, and love parts of all of it, but I definitely went through what I think you're saying.

Everything is SOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. And yes, they are all about 15-20 years behind the coasts on pretty much everything. As much as I loved living on the beach in paradise, I had to leave. And now, I can't find an in between. I want New York style service for everything, while living in an Arkansas/Idaho/Montana environment.

That's so weird. My best friend in the world died 2 months ago and lived in Las Cruces. I did stay there on my way elsewhere once and thought it was cute. I'll check it out. WA is right next door tho and that's got plenty of weeds.

Re: This State is driving me insane!!
I have learned to like the Rockies. I moved out here from the east about 9 years ago and noted the same things: the Internet is slower, fast food selection is scarcer, and movies/music/entertainment seem to be vastly lagged. It bothered me at first because I yearned for those amenities, but since then I've learned to connect with people better. I cut the BS that I thought I needed (movies, fast food, Internet) and instead have found and reconnected with what matter most: friends, family, self.

What the west lacks in infrastructure/systems/progression, it makes up in personal effort/wisdom/responsibility.

But that's all just like my opinion, man.
"Man, whose tool of survival is the mind, does not merely fail to teach a child to think, but devotes the child’s education to the purpose of destroying his brain, of convincing him that thought is futile and evil, before he has started to think."

Re: This State is driving me insane!!
I just recently moved back to Idaho.
I lived in the Boise area the first time I lived here, now I live on the eastern part of Idaho near Yellowstone.
Boise is too diverse for me.
But Yes, Idaho is still fairly remote, besides Boise.
I have a 1/10 of what you have available to you, but it is worth it.
I lived in Ohio in between living in Idaho, so happy to be away from there.
I also don't fit in 100%, but much better than I did in Ohio.

The trouble is when you leave your roots it makes people restless.

Will the next place be better?

There is always somewhere else that may be better.

That's the thing about these people who move in from out of state. It's not long until they start trying to change it to where they came from.

Maybe everybody would be happier if you went back to where all the smart, fashionable, slick & cool, people live.

I doubt if the locals are really that anxious to pick up the "shine" you think they need. In fact, they could even be resentful at your efforts to improve them.

I'm sure you are a much nicer guy than you appear to be, you are just in the wrong place.

Not with that attitude you wont. Sounds like you chose, poorly.
Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Used by the Founders...
Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day...
America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments...
1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year.
2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates.

Democrats are a WMD, literally.
