Ha, I saw that last night somewhere. He wants to be near his folks.

Yeah sure. He won't interfere in any elections though, "That's in the past."

How does his residency change his ability to spend money in the state to try and affect political policy?

It doesn't and he may or may not actually live there, he prob has 19 homes across the planet.... He is far from the only uber-rich liberal in Miami anyway.

Nothing to worry about, we're just putting rocks in the roads leading in and out of the cesspool. Heard we got an expert from up north coming in to run the program....

There's another "billionaire" and his family living in Florida with some leftist tendencies like taking guns first, then due process, spending trillions of borrowed money, being absolutely unsure if a man can become a woman, etc. and Florida hasn't turned blue yet so I doubt Bezos will make a huge difference.

About 30 years I got a call from a recruiter who described to me a near dream job and a very lucrative salary. I asked him where it was and with a singing voice he blurted out with great fanfare:

OR-LAN-DO!

I just laughed, said "not interested", and hung up.

Washington also has no state income tax. He did it for the state cap gains tax.

I lived in Florida for 8 years and recently moved out.

Yes it’s a great place to live, no income tax, year round warm (or very hot!) weather.

Also getting very crowded, insurance is very expensive and it’s being overrun by Yankees (New York, New Jersey and Shitcago), plus the hurricane issue.

We lived on a barrier island for 4 years. During “season” (January - May) it could take 2 hours to go to Home Depot, 7 miles away. We built a new home inland, in 4 years it doubled in price. We took the money and ran, now in the mid-west close to our daughter and other family. I’m sure we’ll miss the weather and low taxes, but it’s not the utopia many make it to be. I think Lars has the best situation.
