I know that. And no, in that situation, $625 isn't a lot of money. It's like buying a ps5 console with no games, or a used graphics card.

I would think the majority of the reason people left their areas was their jobs became fully remote and decided to move to warmer LCOL areas while still making HCOL wages so they basically got a big pay increase for moving somewhere cheaper.

I would dare to say at least 75% of the people who left did it for financial reasons not political.

Oysters are so very important to the health of the bays ecosystem. And delicious

Keep in mind net worth isn’t cash in the bank. For someone who owns a home that’s worth $400000 and only owes $150000 on it but other wise isn’t rich, yeah, $625 is a lot of money.

Look, I’m not saying he doesn’t need it more, I’m just saying that’s easy to say. Just because he’s worth a billion doesn’t mean he has a billion in the bank. People conflate net worth with cash. It’s not.

Murrells Inlet, SC would be a good place to conduct a research project. Forty years ago I could fill a bucket with nice selects in 30 minutes just walking from the shore. I quit picking oysters years ago because the quantity and size diminished so much. Too many people picking on too few beds. It doesn't help that development is causing many of the beds to permanently close.

Red states require more migration because people die quicker in red states. Conservative policies lead to early deaths. Blue states are sanctuaries from those policies.

>The October report found that if all states implemented liberal policies on the environment, gun safety, criminal justice, health and welfare, labor, marijuana, and economic and tobacco taxes, more than 170,000 lives would have been saved in 2019. On the flip side, if states went with conservative versions of those policies, there would have been about 217,000 more deaths that year — “the equivalent of a 600-passenger airplane crashing every day of the year,” the study said. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/znfhsz/can_politics_kill_you_research_says_the_answer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

>In Trump states, the rate was 8.20 murders per 100,000 residents. In Biden states, the rate was 5.78 murders per 100,000 residents. "These Biden-voting states include the 'crime-is-out-of-control' cities of Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Portland, Baltimore, and Minneapolis,"

>"Jacksonville, a city with a Republican mayor, had 128 more murders in 2020 than San Francisco, a city with a Democrat mayor, despite their comparable populations. In fact, the homicide rate in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco was half that of House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy’s Bakersfield, a city with a Republican mayor that overwhelmingly voted for Trump."

Not to be mistaken for woodcuck of which I am definitely not

And there was much rejoicing.

Oddly, our good friends daughter was involved in the research behind the project as part of her Masters program. It’s not edge of the seat exciting stuff, but the oyster “business” relies on clean waters, and is part of life for the beach communities in many areas.

Okay I read it. The sentence after has me concerned again. "The funds are said to foster essential capital projects for museums, community centers, medical and athletic facilities, community revitalization, and historical buildings."

Those are all great things but have nothing to do with preserving oysters unless there's a city named Oyster or something.

If only there was some sort of article that explained it.

The commenter probably needs his money. This billionaire does not need more than a billion dollars. Spit on the homeless for not donating the shirt on their backs. For the billionaire this just means buying one fewer private jets, less than a dozen, maybe only eight jets, for his private runway.

Do you seriously think people leave because they want to support Abbot and DeSantis?

LOL it’s not politics, it’s because of cost of living.

The Oyster Recovery Partnership, it's a non profit which has been around since the 90s. ORP has also done projects with UMD and a number of local school districts. So they are a legit group who is doing good work

Can I get a printout of Oyster smiling?

That just means ppl are moving. I don't see anything about political affiliation. I've also seen plenty of ppl comment on r/texas they regret moving here.

I think you can look it up. Maybe it went to you.

Buts it’s sooo much easier to express uninformed outrage than it is to read.

When said immigrants eariler, you should've said domestic immigrants. Because it seemed like you meant immigrant from another country.

Seems like you don't know the difference between US and other countries

You could simply read the article.

I love oysters it would be very sad if we over. Fished them out of existence

[Florida (318,855), Texas (230,961), and the Carolinas – North Carolina (99,796) and South Carolina (84,030) – were the states with the most net domestic migration gains in 2022. 

However, California (-343,230), New York (-299,557), and Illinois (-141,656) experienced the largest net domestic outmigration. ](https://www.nar.realtor/blogs/economists-outlook/where-people-moved-in-2022#:~:text=Twenty%2Dsix%20states%20experienced%20an,domestic%20migration%20gains%20in%202022.)

Yep, don’t tell anyone, but the mods of /r/upliftingnews are in the pockets of big oyster. Read the article before jumping to conspiracy at least bc it answers that question in the first two sentences

Incorrect

Have you seen where people are migrating to? Out of New York and California, and into Florida and Texas. People are voting with their feet.
