Yeah jersey was trying some bs like that also. Moved to Florida and life is like completely different now. Honestly deprived myself my whole life by living up north. Oh I had no idea. Don't get me wrong, ain't nothing easy here in the South. But life in general jus seems much easier and laid back. People r slower here in general but definitely better than North. Also the pirates seem not as bad and not as many either. Could just be my area though. Idk jus talking bs. Have a good day
