I work from home, so it doesn't really matter where I am

and I was shocked when I started looking up property values

Same here. I've got my van set up with a camping chair, folding table, and battery pack so I can even do my job while camping and traveling. As long as I've got 4G, I can be at work.

nice

Just bear in mind that the property values always match the local economy. Cost of living is low, but the job market's crappy. If you've got a sweet homesource job, you can make out like a bandit.

yeah I get paid NY wages

and work from home

IT

I bought 1.5 acres with a decent house (that needed repairs) and two livable mobile homes on it right in town for $52k. Can't achieve that kind of win where the economy's strong.

Just don't bring in Mexican landscapers and housecleaners when you come. 😄

Something like that would be 300K+ over here

probably over 400K

Ive got welding skills

The Ohio guys are big on metalwork.

Might want to hit up @Tony Hovater about that.

goverment pretty lax in ohio

Ohio's John Kasich's empire of lumbergian "compassionate conservatism."

Contrary to what the name might lead you to believe, Indiana is entirely devoid of Indians.

ah ive got a while yet as I thought I would build a life in this stupid state but im just getting old and watching time fly by

Is West KY/Southern IN technically Appalachia or technically just out of bounds?

Sociologically and historically, it's Greater Appalachia.

Fair.

Pretty much the same Anglo-Celtic stock and cultural memory, ...just less majestic scenery.

Which IT branch is best? Network Admin, Security, etc.

In my opinion, the most flexible bet is web app, mobile app, and dapp development.

Those are the best for being a homesourced racist who does his job in athleisure pajamas.

These different "tracks" seem almost unnecessary. I bet they could combine a couple.

actually a useful template for the future Balkanization

Yup.

The stark difference between Appalachian and Deep Southern always seem to get glazed over, but it's two entirely different modes of American identity.

@☦Colton of Yore☦ programming is best. microsoft stack, web api, c#, core 2, etc

biggest selection of jobs, go to school for 2 year AS degree in Comp Science, learning basics of OOP

Not favoring one over the other, but the stratified and rigid plantation society created a very different cultural and very different instincts from what the isolated and egalitarian yeoman farmer society produced.

The Appalachian is polite, but has no manners. The Southerner has manners, but is impolite. The Yankee is neither.

Microsoft Stack?

> spits his soylent out and flails his arms in a panic

I would be totally fine if our Nation had the Greater Appalachia boundaries

Hell, I would even be okay with letting at least some of the Texas portion go too

that boundary looks like it includes Austin, and TX demographics in general are bad

Greece's next election is next year right?
