No airfare back to NJ to visit family. I still remember him saying “we vacationed a number of times and researched everything”

LOL, I know someone that moved to Idaho thinking it was cheaper - moved back after two years and built an extension on his daughter’s home.

And this is why I’ll never be able to really retire.

I’d like to know what does “comfortably” mean?

Imagine saying “people’s movement” with a straight face running as a Republican.

It's a mess isn't it? Cheap and unlivable or expensive as fuck. There is no middle. Living past 85 is not on my to do list.

You couldn't pay me to live in any of the 20 "most comfortable" states.

The budget hole she partly created by cutting NJ income taxes by 30%, which accelerated the rise of property taxes, because by law 100% of state income tax went to property tax relief through local funding and tax credits for seniors and low/middle income earners.

Translation to reality: former Governor Whitman wants to steal just enough votes from democrats to ensure the GQP wins elections

Lmao she wants to merge with Yang’s party? He got sauced in both the presidential and NYC mayoral elections for a reason. People can see past the cover of “compassion and coming together”, these are just limousine liberals.

The same former governor who donned a white sweat suit and did a ride along with cops and posed with a young black kid being frisked as a photo op stunt? Also as head of George W’s EPA assured everyone that the air was safe to breathe at ground zero after 9-11?

"Whitman said that the Forward Party was, unlike the Democratic and Republican Parties, not necessarily fixed to a specific platform"
Imagine interviewing for any other job like "I have no particular plans or ideas for what to do, I just want the title."
The good news is, as dumb as American voters may be, we're not dumb enough to fall for this scam.

Ok we can say that about him and not vote for him.
But we eventually have to realize these are good ideas and they could help reform our incredibly broken system. It shouldn't be just him proposing it. None of our elected officials are pushing this. And part of the problem is we citizens have gotten used to things being broken.
Andrew Yang shouldn't be the only one seeing issues with the electoral system and trying to fix it. That's the problem. His Forward party puts pressure on our current candidates to consider this stuff or be primaried. Hopefully some of them start shifting.
