We get hot and humid weather here in the summertime. Not that often, but enough.
What southerners do not get is the experience of spending 1-2 hours digging their cars out from the piles of snow that the plows leave, or temperatures so cold that it's painful, not to mention potentially deadly. You don't have to shovel the humidity off your sidewalks every couple of days, nor do your cars rust out from salt put down on the streets. I'm sure it doesn't take you five minutes to get dressed just to take your dog outside to pee.
You don't pay as much in taxes for road maintenance that's needed because the freeze-thaw-freeze-thaw cycles cause the pavement to buckle. You probably don't spend as much money repairing suspension parts on your cars from hitting potholes, either.
I'm sure that air conditioning costs as much down south as it does here, but I can't imagine that your AC units run almost constantly for several months as our furnaces do.
Southerners have Democrats, but most aren't like northern Democrats who are almost indistinguishable from Russian communists. The only reason we don't have gulags up here is that the politicians think that "gulag" is a Hungarian dish made with noodles and tomato sauce.
From what I gather, there aren't as many elected officials in the southern states as there are here. Actually we probably have roughly the same number working in their offices at any given time, it's just that the other 50% are in jail.
I love Wisconsin. GW98 can have my share of shoveling.
