The Great Migrations

They’re moving out of Jersey and California too. They flee from New York and D.C. So where they running to? Folks are mostly headed south, and Florida I hear is number one. As of now, that state’s not slowing down! Texas sure is growing fast. Here are things I know. They’ve got no state income tax and cost of living’s low. Google will not say this, but I think that folks have fled away from mostly mandate-states since freer states are red! Jan. 27, 2022 For Joe Maverick's Alberta Texas Florida Poetry Contest

For sure; but it may not remain that way. There is real treason going on -- military needs to investigate actions of this administration. What they are doing with the southern border is criminal! Not a mistaken policy. Criminal! Joe.

Nice way to say what your sense is happening in the area of migration, Andrea. Great entry in the contest, by the way. I agree with what you said through your poetry in this one. People want to be free, not get everything free. A poet friend, Bill

Do we need to be afraid, Andrea, what next a war? Nostradamus did predict one 500 year ago. Then to the stars, not Hollywood, but the heavenly ones. I agree with your concerns. Stay Safe. Harry

If people would practice civil disobedience , we could turn the table on the elite who are running the world. Alas, i don't see it happening, but KUDOS to Canada even though the media is blacking out the biggest convoy in history. i am hoping other countries follow suit

Andrea your 100 percent correct they are fleeing the tyrants that have a sinister agenda to control, lie, and manipulate the masses for their Global control agenda. Some will someday come out from living under a rock and realize what is really taking place, Daytona here I come , lol luv Michael Rene

100-years ago, the Bell Telephone Work Study concluded any group of people will sink to the lowest level of performance to maintain the harmony of the group, so it is no surprise at all that "losers" would rush to Florida and Texas where they can live sans shame or effort . . .Enjoyed, Andrea.

I've just come from the bank to renew my money. Only nine years allowed. After that money with no savings. But I'm not worried. I won't live nine more years. Hugs.

So awful that politicians care not for the people they are ruling where they should be serving…or perhaps they are serving…up violence, drugs, slavery of children, pollution. Who would think the US would be like Gotham City of Batman fame with no superhero.
