Fun article. I am from the south originally (Florida/Kentucky). But now live /work in a Baltic state (Poland) and have a so to be retirement home in Spain. It is cheeper and calmer in both countries with easy travel to neat places in Europe. But down side is the long trip to CA (also considered a separate country by many) to see grandkids. So I’m going to pass on the Red State for now. Unless of course the Russians take Poland.
