How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use?
@soix Go for income tax. Sales tax isn’t that of a big deal. Blue states are really cost prohibitive there. To NJ also add some draconic tolls on the roads you’re riding and highest property taxes that are also cost prohibitive + draconic insura...
