I’m always skeptical of poverty statistics because I believe the metric to meet poverty is wrong. For instance the bureau of statistics puts the poverty line at just under 15k annually. Please tell me how a person making 20k a year affords housing, food, and other basic necessities without government assistance.
Thanks. She’s really the catalyst for us to leave Florida. I want her to get a good education and not be surrounded by a hateful shitty government.
Great band! We’re about to have our first child and I can’t wait to introduce her to they might be Giants.
It’s horrendous how the Florida government is treating trans people. I hope you and your family find happiness and can live comfortably away from these bigots. Maybe one day Florida will change, but currently it’s the absolute worst.
Also on a lighter note is your username a They Might Be Giants reference?
I’m in a similar situation in Florida. Florida is where I’ve spent my whole life and the natural beauty of the state is incredible. However the government here is insane. They attack liberals at every chance, and are rewriting education to fit a disneyfied history. My wife and I are currently looking to get out. Change here seems hopeless between gerrymandering, and the massive influx of red voting retirees. Michigan sounds amazing to me except for the winters. We’ve discussed Colorado , but it’s pretty expensive, and the water management in the west is worrisome. We’re just on the lookout for what fits us. The only thing that’s certain is that we aren’t long for Florida. I am forced from my home by retirees and insane politicians.
You’re correct but the bureau of statistics is American so that’s really where I’m talking about. However this data point doesn’t give a lot of faith that the statistic for other countries is accurate either.
