I currently live in CA.

I do NOT want my kids to get the shot.

If there are no exceptions, we are moving. Unfortunately home-schooling isn't an option for us (details on this would be too revealing for this forum).

First on our list of states is Texas for two main reasons: 1) We know some people there who can help us with the move and getting settled; 2) My wife's profession may allow her to work in Texas without any issues. Other options include Idaho and Arizona, but they may not meet our needs for other reasons.

HERE'S MY QUESTION:

If we leave CA for another state which is currently against jab mandates, will the federal gov't and the shitlibs push hard enough that states resisting the jab will cave?

This is obviously an enormous decision for us. I'm really asking for your views on this. Is this shit going to stop?

They will keep pushing for mandates and they will eventually try and force states to join the club in some way, likely by withholding federal money.

Like you, I'm looking at Texas or Idaho but with me I plan on living out of my vehicle either on public lands or on land I will purchase and live out of a tent. Why? Because this gives me the most flexibility to move quickly, have very little overhead and almost no expenses. Why set new roots when your new home state might fuck you over in the coming months or years.

Best short term state, probably Texas. Best long term state, probably Idaho. Everyone but white people hates the cold, so Idaho should be fairly white and decent place to live. Property is expensive, which just pushes most buyers away and that is a good thing.

I suggest you do the following.

Come to grips that your lifestyle is probably going to change. Start thinking of ways to get back to basics with life, see how you can earn money with remote work or start a business for yourself. Do everything you can to not be dependent on the system, which includes your job. You should be home-schooling.

I have no worries about losing my job, my current residence because set my life up that way. I can work remote, I can start a small business and I have no overhead so the money I have will stretch and I can work for anyone anywhere at all hours of the day.

Honestly, get out of my head. You and I are very close in ideologies. If I didn't have kids, I would definitely live a more transient lifestyle. I lived on a sailboat for seven years already, so I'm used to it and know of what I speak.

Wish I could home-school the kids. Alas, it just wouldn't work out well for the kids I have. Already thought long and hard about this. So wish that I could.

I'm not too worried about my employment. I work 100% remote now and don't see that changing. Not a big deal. And I have other options if this falls apart.

Thanks so much for the thoughts.

How long you think until conservative states fall to the mandates?

I don't think they will fold, at least the majority of states. I'm assuming this covid shit is going to pass in a few years and replaced by climate crisis or financial crisis and will see different types of problems and pressure to get these status under control. Which is another reason why I want to be flexible with my work the state I'm in. Sadly it really comes down to who the governor is at the time.

Good point about the new crises. Thank you.
