    Looking at population data, these articles would suggest people are fleeing the “best” states en masse to live in the “worst” ones?

    The only one I would question on the BEST list is NJ. I’m sure every state has some nice parts…..but that is one state I’ve been all over and have yet to see it.

    En masse? Name one state where the entire population has moved to another state. Talk about some cheap real estate prices. Plus you could be mayor, governor, police chief, and dog catcher.

    If there are 40 better states than FL to live in...man...

    I don't know that I agree with CNBC's weighting of metrics, but to each their own. They said they looked at "the quality and availability of childcare, which is one of the most important factors in getting parents back into the workforce." It's a strength in FL, but overruled somehow by "Inclusiveness" and "reproductive rights". In a "Best State for Business" report?

    I mean, who doesn't love hurricanes, malaria, and fascism?

    As it happens, I'm in Florida right now.

    I’m waiting for California to completely empty so I can move there.

    Going back for the treasure you have hidden with your fried Louis-Michel Aury way back in the day? Are the natives any less barbarian than what they were at the time?

    As someone who lived in Texas for a brief time, I wholeheartedly agree with this list.

    Can you provide booty? A pirate has needs.

    Maybe you'd be Prune's booty.

    I saved a big stanky booty for you in the Florida Governor's Mansion, which is only 4.9 miles from my place. You are in luck.

    Sadly, I'm a long way from you (St. Pete). Happily, I'm a long way from the Guv'nor.
