This makes MI sound more and more appealing. Seems like Canada with less cuckery.

I've always lived urban, though I wouldn't mind rural as long as I could have at least one office in a city. I need some bustle for my hustle sometimes. Suburban always makes me think of entitled brats who are way too sheltered from reality, so I generally try to stay away from there.

As for what line of business, I'm doing e-commerce for artisans, beginning with blacksmiths. I know a fair bit about running a 3D printing business so I will be building my second one within 4 years as well. How does the state treat manufacturers?

An aside: Not really a huge fan of hockey. Love fresh maple syrup as much as the next Canadian as well as grew up hunting deer, duck, goose, and rabbit (yet to hunt moose even though it is delicious). Putting gravy and cheese curds on fries is delicious. American friends tell me they never hear anyone say "eh" as much as I do even though it only comes out once in a blue moon. I believe in self-sufficiency through trade in primary industry being the backbone of any society with natural resources. But hockey is only of mild entertainment value to me. I know I'll catch flak for this but I much prefer CFL even though it is becoming more cucked (read: fixed) every year.

Michigan sounds great. What's their stance on crypto?

Not sure on crypto- as I’ve never dabbled. But in terms of hunting, you’d be right at home. Moose is protected, but pretty much everything else worth filling your freezer with, is on the menu. Large hunting population, and no shortage of mossy oak. Fishing is also exceptional.

No worries on hockey- just a product of proximity from the mitten to Canada.

I’ve been told I sound Canadian and it gets more pronounced the closer I am to the rink locker room or upper peninsula. Especially fond of the “eh” and the “bud”.

Grew up watching Mr. Dressup on CBC, and caught hockey night in Canada with Grapes often. Nice little product of sharing a north and east border.

In terms of manufacturing, that’s in MI’s blood. Environmental regs have changed with the times a bit, but the desire to produce has not wavered since the glory days of the Motor City and WW2.

I’m thinking you’d be right at home either close to Grand Rapids/western side of the state for more urban, or UP in Marquette for artisan commerce with a more rural vibe.

Smaller towns in northern lower peninsula, but charming in their own right and great for a weekend snow mobile trip or rip on the boat.

ORV trails are exquisite, some of the best in the country, what we lack in elevation we make up for in maintenance and quantity.

Folks have a cottage outside Petoskey, I can get anywhere on my dirt bike in the northern mitten without ever traversing a public highway. It’s pretty awesome.

In general the state is very dedicated to outdoor recreating, and has never lost sight of that, despite Detroit’s lack of understanding what MIchigans beauty and coastlines have to offer
