What made you leave FL? Also how is the cost in FL vs Las Vegas (housing/etc)? Is work hard to find in LV?

My family is still in LV.  Now that I'm married with a toddler and we want one more, we should be surrounded by family so our children grow up with family and close friends. I enjoyed my 7.5 years there, but it's time to put my selfishness aside and think of the greater good.  Rent is cheaper in Vegas. Food is cheaper in Florida. Gas is cheaper in Florida. Car insurance is cheaper in Vegas. Yes, work is hard to find in Vegas, but that's not something I have to worry about.

If I don't resist a band, it comes down...just like a DB.  Either I am active with lifting/resisting both or I am not

A dumbell falls with gravity, a band pulls you down as it retracts..

I didn’t post that off-topic — it ties in directly. The whole Elon / Doge Department thing showed how fake the GOP’s “cut spending” narrative really was. Elon thought he was helping reduce government waste, and instead they turned it into a PR stunt that trashed Dogecoin’s name — which I actually care about since I still have some Dogecoins from 2021.

So when people now blame Democrats for the shutdown, it’s the same hypocrisy all over again. The same Republicans who pushed the massive “Big Beautiful Bill” are suddenly pretending to care about fiscal responsibility? Please. Both sides share blame, but let’s not act like Trump or his crew were ever serious about cutting government spending. It was all theater then, and it’s still theater now.

Good Lord, Obsidian. Are you serious? Do you understand what’s going on with these shutdowns? Read my OP again. This is about nothing else but to sabotage Trumps agenda whether you like him or not. We can get into DOGE later but in that note while it didn’t reach the government waste, 1 trillion as predicted it did shrink useless Government jobs by a 150k including eliminating USAID and other agencies that were all but worthless. And to add that, and speaking of the deficit. The CBO was forced to admit that the tariffs reduced the deficit by $4 trillion.

Let’s also be reminded that under the fake Biden administration 13 bipartisan clean CR’s were passed with relatively no problems. This is about Trump and nothing else.

And this…we woke up to this headline
