I have no younger relatives here to worry about abortion or the other woke nonsense of diesantis. Its not a perfect state but what one is? There's always something to bitch about anywhere. My big complaint is that the school system isn't good here. That's the future, but hopefully, with democrats in power sometime again, that can change. I guess I'm just content with life here and my own. I'm fortunate.
