Recent California Transplant to Arizona, hence the name. Politically Progressive Socially Liberal I may need help adjusting to my new Culture. Government should do the most good for the most people, otherwise what's the point.https://bsky.app/profile/calazonan.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/calazonan.bsky.social/post/3lqjldmyadq2oI hate my life. I just got fired; a year before I was supposed to retire. My wife went from Publishing and Graphics design Guru to Alzheimer's riddled old lady in 20 months. Medical bills have already eaten a decade into our retirement funds.

I take back EVERY bad thought I ever had about California drivers in the rain.... Oh. My. Gawd! Major highways that don't drain water and drivers refusing to go over 30 in a light to moderate downpour.

I can't find an ISP anywhere in Central AZ that guarantees faster than 100kbps.... just fast enough to watch YouTube videos at 480p that isn't a satellite service.

My grocery bill has increase by 50% since moving here from CA. Seriously, food here is stupidly expensive. I can only assume its the cost of trucking it all inland from the coast.
