	RE: What's Plan B? By rotorhead, 1 hour ago	General/Relocating
	@jaldeborgh You are where I was 22 years ago. I was 47 and just retired from Microsoft. I moved to paradise. I thought that I could insulate myself from the bad stuff. After an armed home invasion at ...
	RE: What's Plan B? By jaldeborgh, 5 hours ago	General/Relocating
	The best approach IMHO is self reliance, to insulate ones self from any dependence on the government, this is true on the mainland as well, as the world seems to have gone nuts everywhere. WAPA is bad...

	Posted by: @stjohnjulie It seems to me that the government just continues to raise taxes on the people who are paying them and spends little to no time going after the people that don’t pay at all. ...

	Well put Rotorhead. Ive been here three years full-time now, and your right about how you “start noticing the little annoying things”. I too, hope to see improvements, but “when” seems to have always ...

	@vicanuck I just moved away from STX after 22 years. I am very happy. It's kind of like boat ownership. The two happiest days of your life are the day you buy your house on st croix and the day you se...

	It will be interesting to see in a few months whether the electorate reelects Trump or instead opts for socialism and racial based politics.
	RE: What's Plan B? By STTsailor, 23 hours ago	General/Relocating
	VI has already excise tax, import tax and self employment tax and equivalent of federal income tax. The tax revenue stays here and it is a nice chunk of change while the local government has no respon...

	@rotorhead Your comments are always spot on. I'm glad you're still contributing even though you've smartly moved on. We won't be far behind.
	RE: What's Plan B? By rotorhead, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	Nothing will change until the government is insolvent and the Feds come in to take over. The Government of the VI is not capable of getting out of the current situation. The tax base is too small to s...
	RE: What's Plan B? By Gator's Mom, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	Lack of fiscal responsibility by the VI government goes back many years - long before Trump. The Obama administration offered PROMESA to the VI at the same time as PR in early summer 2016. But the reo...

	I am sure the problems are all caused by racism. BLM to the rescue! A few riots, burn down the refinery then blame Trump for not sending more money down during the pandemic. Whenever there is a proble...
	RE: What's Plan B? By singlefin, 2 days ago	General/Relocating
	Relying on tourism is never a good idea, so glad Lime Tree is restarting the refinery. The first thing to go when times get tough, is an expensive vacation. Did the governor get the 60 million from t...

	@fhpooiks I see. Yes. Crime is very high. Is that part of place? I'm looking for chrischansted. Still high crime there???
	RE: Relocating By Tomok, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	@fhpooiks Thank you for advise. I will have to look into lots things. But most importantly, school, kids sports and insurance.

	@daveb722 Oh yes...I'm still with Cigna Global. You should call them and inquire. The last I heard was they weren't writing new policies in the VI. I just got my renewal.
	RE: Relocate to St Cloix with my hus and 8 &11 yearskids By daveb722, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	@vicanuck do you still use cigna global? or something like that if I remember correctly. I'm curious if my wife could get on that policy and then include me as well seeing she is Canadian. I had b...
