    LOL, if you do this kind of thing online, the answer would be easy: move the fuck out of such a shitty state.

    And yeah, I get it, you’d probably leave behind friends/family, but…if your state is clearly sending you a message that they don’t approve of you, maybe get out and deprive them of any money?

        If your primary source of income is now being taxed at over 70% (50% “sin tax” + 15% income tax + 8% Medicare/social security tax) then that creates a pretty strong incentive to move, because the cost of not moving is even greater.

        There is no “I can’t afford to move” at these numbers. At this rate it would make sense to even borrow money to move.

        I think a VPN might be an option too just for the OF

        Edit: I did some digging and can’t find anything on OF. I did find info on Steam though. Basically yeah it’s possible but against TOS and tax laws so if you do get caught the penalties are pretty severe and not worth low single digit percentages

    If son tax would be enacted, I would only want that imaginary god gives us a list of the sinners and their sins so that we can directly bankrupt all Florida politicians

    Shit if there’s a sin tax, then DeSantis owes at least $100 million between Hope and the misuse of social services money.

    Bible says stealing is a sin. And Everytime a conservative speaks, they’d owe a fine.
