[Arainach]

It's not just the Klan. Racism is A problem, but far from the only problem. I grew up in the Lansing area and the majority of my extended family still lives in Michigan. When I look back at the state, the entire state government is corrupt and regressive. I see laws passed to restrict voting rights, civil liberties, and environmental protections. I see high school students in towns near where I grew up flaunting signs making fun of slavery for prom. I see no signs of progress, and many of regression. It's not the kind of environment where I'd want to live, much less raise a family. I've had job offers to move back to Michigan, but I have zero interest in it. The cost of living where I am keeps growing, but I'd rather have a lower cost of living here than live like a king in Michigan (not that the tech jobs in Michigan pay "live like a king" wages).
