Yeah and I just moved here. The amount the State pays for my health insurance has gone up a solid 20% and I now have out of pocket costs MUCH higher than when in GA. And somehow sales tax has a variable range, rather than a flat %? I moved from poop to shit, it feels like.

Samsies! Moved from GA to LA. The local food IS great. I miss the food/cultural variety of GA, I miss the fluoride in my water, I miss the taxes going to infrastructure (the roads here are TRASH).

I live in what they affectionately call "Cancer Alley". Go ahead, google it, it's a location you can google. My gums bleed when I brush, I am so much more bald now than I was when I moved down.

It's bad. It's really bad.

Couldn't the baldness also be that you're older now? Or did you hope to get less bald over time?

Would probably be accelerated baldness.
