I guess it depends on what you mean by quality of life. Kind of subjective. Generally I love it here. Politics and politicians are the same the world over.
SC could be a lot better, but it could be a lot worse (and will be soon).

Many of those rich well to do areas, people are fleeing them to escape high taxes and to find jobs. Where are they coming? Look at the blue sign in the photo above.

And where exactly are they finding those jobs? Maybe many of those people are retiring here and don’t need jobs.

Here is your clue. October 9, 2014 at 2:43 pm

You mean rich areas like WV, Kentucky, eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania? That’s where working age people are coming from to find jobs in SC. Mainly, along the coast. The pay might not be any better, but it’s more fun being at the beach.

Without retirees moving to the coast, the results would have been even lower. Actually, without the coast, SC would have nearly zero appeal.

I’ve lived in a total of 5 states, SC is by far the biggest shithole I’ve lived in and will be leaving once I hit retirement. The only good thing I have to say about the state is it has cheap gas.

You have some serious butt hurt.

FYI, I moved here 12 years ago but I don’t have butt hurt from where I use to live. You and Squishy123 may think this place is a shit hole but with people like you leaving it only gets better.

Enjoy wherever you’re at, glad it’s not here.

Look, you like living in a shithole. That’s what you have found fits your lifestyle best. Every shithole needs residents and I’m glad you can contribute. I wish you and SC the best. And if it does get any better you can always move to Mississippi. Who know you might like it better ;-)

But you see it’s not a shit hole, it’s only a shit hole if you make it one. So you obviously made your own little shit hole right here in South Carolina but you took it with you when you left.

Oooooooooh-Kaaaaay? You have clearly found a place that’s an intellectual fit for you. SC seems to attract and keep the low intellect, under achievers of the country, so I can see the appeal of moving there for you. Remember, there’s always Mississippi if SC’s quality of life happens to improve too much for you standards. ;-)

So now it’s not only a shit hole but those that live here are intellectually inferior to you, my my aren’t you a classic over achiever.

You know what I find interesting about our banter, the only way you seem feel good about yourself and your quality of life is to belittle others.

BTW you being from South Carolina should understand this, Bless Your Heart.

Not from there, just lived there for 20+ years. But yes, I do understand. I just say things right out though, instead of using bullshit congeniality. I’m belittling you in particular, not every South Carolinian. You chose to move there and good for you. Aim low and you’ll never be disappointed, right?

You have a real obsession with hurt butts. Personal experience I assume? I imagine you do hear the phrase “Bless your heart” uttered to you often. If you can’t recognize that for BS congeniality, then you still have a lot to learn about southern charm, son.

This is all I could find,,,

AOL Keyword

Logic-minded shortcut function of the popular internet browser America Online. Over 50,000 exist and each one typically defies and escapes the logic of the AOL customer, much to the chagrin of the AOL Customer Care Consultant on the other end of the phone.

Customer: “How do I change my billing information? I tried AOL Keyword “Modify My Financial Information” and nothing came up!

Customer Care Consultant: “Umm… Did you try AOL Keyword “Billing”?

Customer: “Ohhhhhhh!”

Customer Care Consultant: *sigh*
