You would rather raise a child in a state like Florida where the government has made it illegal not to glorify the confederacy and chattel slavery?

That is a very odd choice. I get that the bay has a crime/homeless/CoL problem but fleeing to a place with much of the same issues in its own cities while also being one of the worst parts of the country culturally outside of then isn’t any better, IMO.

I didn't say anything about bay area homelessness, in fact the comment you're responding to was specifically about NYC, which I mentioned I lived in for 4 years. Also, no offense, but I'm willing to bet you haven't spent much time in Florida, if at all. Culturally, about half of my social circle is made up of Venezuelan refugees, all of whom love living here.

I don’t even know what bias you’re referring to. It’s called the Venezuelan refugee crisis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_refugee_crisis

Like I’m not even sure what language you’re supposed to use.

Economic migrant, most of the people 'fleeing' venezuela are elites, not people who were actually victims of the economy collapsing.

Several of them are granted official refugee status. Also not sure what bias you’re talking about.

FWIW, I’ve lived in 8 states - TN, MS, GA, AK, CO, NY, NJ, and FL. Every one of them has pros and cons, and you find all sorts of people everywhere. This idea that a particular state is somehow culturally worse, reflects a lack of either depth or life experience.

> Also not sure what bias you’re talking about.

You explicitly said the state which has laws on the books banning teaching that chattel slavery was a bad thing is a good place to raise a child in.

You are digging for a reason to be mad at a person for mentioning he has friends. That's pretty pointlessly nasty.

Yeah they teach Cathode Ray Tubes here in school. No bueno.
