My wife and I have lived in the Peoples Republic of Northern Virginia for 30 years now....can't WAIT to GTFO.
She was just bestowed approval for her religious exemption in the WORST and largest school district (her employer) in the region mandating the jab...she is supposed to get weekly testing but will refuse to get that.
I am in DoD and waiting for Applesauce-for-Brains to issue his further mandate directions. I will neither get the jab NOR get any weekly testing, however, Xiden apparently said we ONLY had the jab option now as feds. FUCK HIM.
Anyway....my wife is getting out of the school district job by end of this school year (if she can hang on that long), and depending on when or if I'm cut loose, we will move to either SC or FL. next year and work a few part time jobs between the two of us to carry us to full time retirement in a few years. Also considering TN for the tax situation. ANYWHERE, however, is better than Northern Virginia.
With you all the way, brother -- and you are spot-on, WRT to the VA side being better than that which is to the north. The really sad part is that I truly loved living in VA...until a little over a decade ago, when Black Jesus ascended to the WH, and which point things seemed to change around here. LIke a nastier, even more selfish breed of folks started moving in all around us...probably transplants from Chicago and those from MD/DC trying to flee their higher taxes.
We could certainly absorb the loss of my wife's job if it came to that...the loss of mine would make things more challenging, but like you, I'm willing to go that far because I'm NOT. TAKING. THESE. SHOTS.
