If you move here you must leave your voting habits where you were. You people have created the mess which has become New York/California/Colorado/Chicago by voting criminals into office. Texas has zero use for that sort of thing. Come to Texas and become conservative, fine. But dont come here and screw things up here. We have Constitutional Carry here, if you dont like guns dont come here. If you want open borders, dont come here. New comers need to change, not Texans.
I understand you will assume that, and it is a good way to welcome people our FREE states telling them: Remember why you left, and do not bring that crap over here... in this case seems that Louis is exempt of that rule, but we can never assume and do not say it, we have to protect our freedom. Congratulations Louis for finally deciding to move your headquarters to a state that appreciate businesses and respects boundaries, make sure you pay your kidnappers what they ask before you leave or you will be receiving notices even in Texas, considered it a ransom for your freedom.
The USA was built on advocating for the change you want to see. Political stagnation and the “If you don’t like it LEAVE” mentality is inherently anti-American
@@rossmannkoigroup just up the street a couple moved in from Colorado. They immediately joined up with the Dems and covered their lawn with Biden signs and became very active in the town. I wasnt so much meaning you as the individual, I mean "you" as the thousands of people leaving what consistently does not work and just bringing those concepts along to your new location. Its like muslims moving to Utah.
Dear NYC Business Owner: We mismanaged our money due to bureaucracy, corruption, and inefficiencies therefore we have decided that you have to pay for this. We wont fix anything but we may come back for more of your money in the future. We thank you for your involuntary compliance on this matter.
Should be "We mismanaged YOUR money, so we feel YOU should pay for this", which should make people even angrier, but I guess people over there are so numb and lubed up so much that they think the pricing there is normal!
That is amazing. The audacity to just send people a letter saying, "We took out a loan without consulting you and we need to pay it back so since you're one of our citizens doing business in our state who may or may not have benefited at all from this we are expecting a check from you within thirty days so we can pay back the money we agreed to pay back." Man it must be really easy to sign some loan documents when you can just tell other people to pay it back for you.
LOL - I know someone in California who got a letter that basically said "We know you paid this tax but the tax department did not send our department the funds that you paid so we expect you to pay it again now directly to us."
I started my business in New York and came to see that New York doesn't want small businesses to succeed. It became completely obvious when the NY tax department couldn't pay themselves as much as they wanted with their existing budget. So they started mailing out yearly extortion letters to every business saying we had to confirm our current address and mail it back with a mandatory $50 filing fee and serious penalties for non-compliance. They classified it as a "filing fee" so the NY tax department got to keep the money rather than it going into the state coffers. While not that much, I took it as a sign it would just keep getting worse and moved my business out of New York. I have no regrets. That was in 1994.
NY has ALWAYS been one of the biggest corrupt shakedown states in the country. They always have a scheme for some kind of 'protection racket' swindle. I remember when they came up with the mandatory 2 year license plate registration scam then you get prorated pennies on the dollar when you turn the plates back in.
Remember, it will still take then ten years for the tax authorities to admit you are no longer a resident doing business there. Expect them to audit you for years since you did not get their permission to leave.
Congratulations on the move, Louis. Through the years looking at how New York City has made you miserable, & now seeing you much happier elsewhere. I wish your business success in Texas.
When Louis Rossman Moves to Texas he will deal with the Ex-California residents crowd talking about how they used to be in the Golden State with all the same stories he says about New York. I swear Texas will be viewed as Florida for for West Coast States.
@@fredharvey2720 I swear I heard a few other states claiming to get Ex-California Residents besides Texas, In Texas case they are getting the investors and people that have to move their for job reasons. Georgia, Tennessee are up there too. Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii are getting the retirees from the Golden State. Note If you hear Ex-Pats from the USA chances are that they came from my state California.
On one hand, I agree - Louis would be a great Florida Man. On the other hand, is there anything more stereotypical than a New Yorker moving to southeast Florida? Louis probably would have kept some customers during the move 🤣
Please do everything you can to ensure that you and your business are completely out of NY by the end of the calendar year. There's no reason to be subjected to another year of this NY tax bullshit. Seeing "Final" on the last NY tax return you ever file is going to feel incredible!
I predict that by the end of this year NYC will go bankrupt again like in 1975 under Mayor Abe Beame. New York State Governor Nelson Rockefeller helped New York City and Senator Jacob Javits and Bill Moynaham help NYC to emerge from bankruptcy by 1983 and believe me, both Senators were not deranged like the Senators from New York State and Governor today.
Government charged me for 7 years for things that never happened(and "didn't need a court order for"), and forced me into homelessness for 3 years. It's one of the reasons I left California and since then have always been anti-big-government. Oh, and I can't sue them because they have sovereign immunity, so don't bother suggesting that.
I met a girl living in Delaware and going to university here. She was from NYC and she got her old employer from her waitress job to lie to the state so she could collect unemployment. She was getting $500 a week from NYC unemployment while not even living there! She showed me how she spent $21,000 on Prada and Gucci shit. It actually sickened me to hear how I made less than her despite having a job. It doesn't surprise me to hear NYC is struggling to pay back their loans...
Did she have a job and was lying to collect that unemployment? Because $500 per week is only $2000 a month, roughly $24,000 a year. Not nearly enough to be blowing that kind of money on "Prada and Gucci" shit. If she had a job while getting those benefits that's fucked up.
@@darrenmichaelsen2492 No, she does not have a job because she is 19 at college full-time and everything, rent, food, etc is paid for by her parents. She used to work part time in highschool as a waitress at a restaurant, she quit the job when she graduated and came here to university. She and her employer both lied (she blackmailed them over some health violations) so she could get $500 a week of disposable income she could spend on anything she wanted. There is a difference between not having a job and going to school, and being in the workforce and not having a job. And I wasn't joking about that Gucci and Prada stuff, she spent ALL of her money on luxury clothing and streetwear.
In 2019 I took a position as a partner at a large law firm in New York City, which has traditionally been the holy grail of practicing law. I was paid pretty insane money, but couldn't take more than a year of NYC, not that the pandemic helped. I quit and moved to south Florida, and now have a much easier position as a CPA at a medium sized firm. I make half now what I did in NYC, but I live much better and have a much higher quality of life. You literally couldn't pay me enough to go back to New York. Believe me, they tried.
I had a similar story, working in LA for a big firm and they wanted me to emigrate. They were taken aback when I said no way in hell could I live in the US. I have a far better quality of life in the UK. There was always that state of fear amongst Americans, fear of losing your job and no health cover. I thought you Americans get a raw deal, but so few citizens venture abroad, you guys dont know any better.
I left NY 24 years ago. One of the best decisions I've ever made. NY was an exciting place to be when I was young because the madness of the city mirrored my own madness, but very quickly the city turned me into a lifeless zombie going through the motions just to pay the rent. I realized that if I were to stay, I would die spiritually. You couldn't give me $100K a year to live in NY again.
@@palerider2890 It's ok not to vote if you don't trust either side; but there is such a concept as "the Less of Two Evils..." If you aren't sure which way to go, just ask yourself..do you LIKE what is happening to your country right now? If the answer is "No" simply vote for other side...
@@KamalaIsTrash No, I do not like at all what is happening to my country. Which is why I left not only NY but the US 20 years ago. I live in France. I don't vote here, neither...:-) The problems in the US are so deep and disturbing, I do not see the solutions coming from elections. The progressive woke Left has literally destroyed and debauched pretty much every aspect of American society, they're now going after little kids with their trans BS and hormone blockers. The degenerate Dems have normalized mental illness. The Repubs are just as corrupt, and castrated, and going along with the Dems. The only hope I see for Americans, as an observer far away, is in towns and small cities where there is still a slim chance that an honest mayor and sheriff and DA can be elected, out of reach of Soros and the billionaire demons.
This is NYC, it won't be long until that annual charge turns into a monthly charge. With an added mandatory $50 fee for sending the money in of course!
The same thing happened to Portland, Oregon. I moved from there to Texas nine years ago. It was very strange and sad to watch Portland, a once beautiful little city, get dragged down the economic tube. The once thriving down town area as fit now only for vandals, homeless people and criminals.
It was rocking last night pretty well at some of the clubs. Weird I even saw Kids out late rideing scooters. I guess people are just happy to see the decline. And enjoying the times.
@@MickeyMishra My son's still there so I visit now and then, but I'm sure glad I don't live there anymore. He pays 2500 bucks a month to rent a two bedroom pos bungalow in a crappy inner northeast Portland neighborhood.
My brother/SIL just bought a place in eastern WA and GTFO of Portland. My sister is still there but has been talking about leaving for several years now as it declines. It's a shame, having visited it used to be a nice place 20+ years ago, but it seems to have declined rapidly, especially in recent years.
Moved from up north to Texas and couldn't be happier. As a business owner not paying any city OR state tax is absolutely amazing. I recently visited NYC because we have some family up in Philly and as I was flying back, the only thought I had was "I can't believe people live there on purpose". Your entire quality of life is about to get a massive upgrade.
Hey Chris. But not everybody has a great UA-cam channel like you and can move to almost anywhere they want. That said, I don't know. I think I have a wonderful lifestyle in New York. With many things that you simply could not get in other parts of the country. Yes, that can apply to both the good and the bad.
@@screenplayhouse4932 ROFLOL!!!! Reminds me of a talk with a fellow I used to know. He said the women in NYC were just too damned ugly for him. He hated the model/actress look. Some time later I met his wife. Lovely woman, but yeah, no model/actress there. Sometimes it's easier to convince ourselves we do not want, that which we likely can't get. Nothing bad here, just a fairly normal/common reaction.
Personally, I've done everything I can in my life to minimize debt and thus, interest payments. If my state started charging me interest on a loan I didn't take, I'd be high tailing it out of there too.
Congrats Louis! Glad to hear you're finally able to "ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK"! Where once it was only a crazy sci-fi action movie it's now REALITY! Good luck in your business moving back into a free America!
Really, really happy for you, Louis. Your work ethic, common sense, and decency allowed you to survive in NYC. Those same things will let you thrive in Texas. Just don't beat yourself up about not doing it sooner. Things happen when they happen. Great things ahead, sir. Enjoy.
Well said. I live in NYC and even though I never met Louis I'll be sad he's gone. It's disgusting how our government, the city, and landlords treat their citizens. I'm ashamed. NYC is both the most decrepit place on Earth and the most amazing. I've also had incredible experiences here I would never have had anywhere else. Still, most of these edifying experiences came at the price of not being able to build wealth. NYC cuts people off at the knees. I've read enough biographies to know that it wasn't always this way.
@@davidhunternyc1 It wasn't always like that and I am a baby boomer who grew up in NYC during the Mad Men era of the 1960s, which for me was a continuation of the 1920s in NYC. I am a naturalized American citizen who was born in Havana,Cuba in 1956, and came with my late parents as a 2 month old baby to NYC via propeller airplane from there legally with all documents required by the State Department and Department of Immigration and Naturalization Services from the American embassy in Havana,Cuba. The era in my opinion was the last time when most Americans had a normal childhood as children. My first language was English. My mother taught me Spanish in order to communicate with my grandmother. I speak American English with a New Yorker accent.
As a born Texan, I welcome all hard working people, especially people that don’t work for the government but actually have to produce real needed products and services. I only hope that most of y’all don’t vote for people like you are running from, Beto would be an example.
Exactly. That's always the problem. People keep voting for what got them in that mess in the first place, and then can't figure out why the shit has followed them to their new home, ruining that place as well.
I'm sorry you have to leave your building and employees (and your expensive floor!) in NY. I wish you all the success you deserve in this new chapter of your life and business.
Happy for you man i been watching for more than 3 years will keep following you. You are an amazing human .& wish i could also leave but I can’t not now .sadly.
Louis, been following you for years and I always appreciate you telling it like it is. NYC didn't deserve you and I hope you have great success in Texas. I left Cali for the south and couldn't be happier.
@@FreshTillDeath56 Uhm, because tons of people never learn their lesson and then move to another place and vote for the same things they're running from? Equally powerful my ass.
@@anthonyhiscox There's good people out there, likeminded people to you that are caught in the wrong places looking to move. Though if you're going to be rude about it, I suppose there's no point arguing with an ape.
God bless you sir. You put up with NY and NYC’s bullcrap for much longer than I would have had the patience for. Excited to watch your journey and see how things go.
I left Nj about 3 years ago for Texas and it was the best decision I have ever made. Texans just ask that you not vote for the same policies from which you fled. Vote Republican and help us keep Texas red so that America can continue to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Welcome to Texas!
Good luck in Texas sir. Hope you all the best. My cousin left last year for exactly the same reason. They had enough of the New York's crazy taxes and "fees".
Glad to hear about the relocation of the business! I hope everyone who is working there is getting the option and assistance to relocate there as well with you. While I can understand if some of the employees can't or won't relocate, I still wish them the best of luck in dealing with NY.
I wouldn’t mind having someone like yourself down here in Texas. You’re a sharp guy who understands business and economics not to mention a great skill set. I certainly don’t blame you for leaving New York. The government there is literally insane.
Infinite thumbs up to you Louis. From all your videos, I get the feeling that you're one of the good bosses to work for, and I am glad that you have said enough is enough and are voting with your dollars and feet by leaving that hell hole that New York has become. I wish you all the best and hope your business booms in Texas.
Good luck to you Louis! I hope your company will continue to be prosperous. You have really made a name for yourself in the Apple repair business. Time to leave the sinking ship!
I got 2 letters like this for my corps. So they keep everyone on unemployment, did not verify anybody readiness to work, let everyone travel abroad while collecting and now we have to pay for this joke. Way to go corrupted NY!!!
This is a positive move for so many reasons. Congratulations! Not just for you and your business, but I'm sure any employees that join you will appreciate more reasonable rent and living costs.
Congratulations on the move Louis. I hope you get a warm Texas welcome. I also hope that you can bring some of the amazing employees responsible for your success with you despite these times being mired, though not without validity, with debate about the grid and personal rights.
I’m sick of all blue staters, left or right, coming to my state. The right wingers in these states have been lazy cowards who rolled over and died and stopped fighting decades ago. It’s as much their fault as it is the left’s for why their states are shitholes. Not to mention when many come down here they bring their prejudices about the South with them, even if they are right wing. But anyways, doesn’t matter, blue staters and Democrats will ultimately destroy Texas. When Texas goes, so goes the US.
I am so sorry for your troubles. We left NY a couple of years ago and we are VERY GLAD WE DID! We've lived in Texas and it's a great state with a lot of nice people. Good luck to you.

It's impossible to have paid any attention to the material on this channel and come away with the idea that AOC, deblasio, and Cuomo were my votes. I had a full sized banner back in 2018 on the bottom of all board repair videos campaigning for Cuomo's challenger and had him on the channel.
Hi Kevin, Im a born and raised NY'er. been here from 04-09 and 2016-on. I live in corpus christi and i check on every single NY license plate in my complex and talk to them to gauge why they moved and talk to as many NY'ers i find out an about. Believe it or not I was at a Jalisco's with a friend, 2 people come in and i tell him theyre from NY. He goes how do you know? I said eh NY'ers we got a look to us. Turned out they were trump supporters from Long island lol. Point is im finding so far every NY'er i come across shares Texas values. People from Cali, i cant help you there, im sorry lol But ive made it my mission to keep this beautiful state RED as long as i live here. Im still welcoming to people no matter there views but lets be honest, we have to make sure this place stays great like its always been.
@@rossmannkoigroup the bigotry is coming from you, just look at your comment. We despise new Yorkers moving because there is am obvious trend of them moving, and bringing their affluent ideas and "progress". You need to adapt to Texas, which means dropping your liberal ideals and excepting that you are the transplant, it is going to be a characteristic or yours whether you like it or not. You are intrinsically a new Yorker, get over it
👍 Very glad to hear you finally "pulled the trigger" Louis, congratulations for making a very practical and sound decision. Tough as I'm sure that it was the magnitude and level of dysfunction that exists at present in NYC is astronomical, until a good "hosing, bleaching and purging" of those perpetuating this mess,(state and city), it's only going to get worse. Onward! To better and brighter things! 👊
Amazing news to hear! We met in Austin a few months ago and you told me how you were waiting for some fines the state had imposed on you to settle before you could leave for good. I am happy to hear you are moving to Texas and finally putting New York behind! Hope you are ready for the heat and humidity!
Hey Louis, I haven't been keeping up with your channel lately, so sorry for being late to the comments to wish you congratulations on the new opportunities you have taken. It's great to hear that you're finally separating yourself from NY and NYC! I hope that these changes bring you nothing but the best in the months and years to come!!
I have a staff of 10 well compensated professionals in Florida. I filed and paid our state unemployment taxes for the second quarter 2022 which were less than $6.00 for the quarter. $6 not $600 or $6,000, $6.
Long time fan here. Recently visited your NYC store half for equipment I needed, half because it was somewhat of a pilgrimage for me. Selfishly glad you didn’t move 3 years ago, wishing you well with the new store. Try to pick one where the cat can’t accidentally get locked in the basement haha
Louis, I understand that this move for economic survival has been long in the making. My Grandparents on my mother's side lost everything in the stockmarket crash. However they purchased a citrus Grove outside of Lakeland FL. Sight unseen in 1928 only a brochure and property deed in hand. They left New York with my 2 and 3 year old uncles in a 1921 wore out Ford Truck and a tent as the Grove had no house on sight. They arrived to find a swampy piece of land underwater. My grandfather got employment at a phosphate pit. He was able to rent equipment from the company to drain the land. And he planted citrus from seed and grafting. You have to graft a orange seedling to a lemon or lime seedling to get a sweet orange or They are as sour as a lemon or lime. I had to relocate 2 times in my life as an adult. Once from Memphis Tn , to Jackson Ms. And then to Gulfport Ms. I spent 36 years there. I retired to Mobile Al. Good luck in your move. Give my best to the Kitties 😸 💕
You were smart to move out of Memphghanistan. I escaped in 2018 and never looked back. A shooting every day and a homicide every other. Most recently promoted from 3rd most violent to 2nd most violent city per capita in the US.

That's how the leeches in government have always run it at all levels. US once had a 90% income tax because the government thought running up extreme debt for war and the rebuilding of Europe was the correct decision.
Louis, Welcome to Texas! I have some friends from NYC who have moved here over the past 37 years, and they all tell me they like living here. One friend who moved his Dad's Auto Body Business from NYC in 1984 says he knew he was in the right place when everyone heard of popular phrases. "I am Fixing..." or "I reckon..." We look forward to helping you grow your business! John
Hey Louis- So glad to hear you are finally getting out. I'm a NY lifer, born and raised, that moved to Texas for similar reasons. If you need any help lets connect, don't want anything for it. Good Luck
There should absolutely be an exchange program for people and businesses. People like Louis apply to move because they like Texas and some idiot applies to move to NY because they like people like Cuomo. Same with immigrants, people who love the core values of America apply to move in and people who hate freedom of speech and capitalism (not corporatism) apply to leave. And we can just exchange without any cost to that person. And people are happy or get a reality check, but they get what they want. Of course it's important to have all kinds of people with diverse ideas and personalities, but it's vital to have similar core principals and values that everyone agrees on, even if you have difference of opinions on everything else, because without that all you get is chaos.
You could even, at the risk of being overly reductionist, boil down the core value to _belief in the importance of establishing & protecting mutually respected boundaries._ Seriously, this is like the heart of what some people call the “social fabric”. It's the basis of personal boundaries, social boundaries, and property boundaries. It also highlights the role of consent in shaping them. Any functioning person gets the gist of this most of the time on a practical level. Trouble is, things seem to get blurry when it comes to violating these boundaries “by proxy” via state action. Quite a lot of people seem fine with that. Often for the flimsiest of reasons. That, and believing that transgressing them is morally acceptable because some self-appointed majority (or even a technocratic elite) believes it to be so. You can't just have mobs choosing to ignore the aforementioned value and deciding to loot someone they deem an “oppressor”, on a whim, in the court of public opinion… That's how you get destruction of wealth that makes everyone poorer. Whether the looting is DIY or state-sanctioned makes little difference… I've found that asking whether a simple majority should be able to override this right is a good litmus test for checking if someone is a closet commie. The entire point of things like constitutional constraints is to be a check on the power of government, _including a voter majority utilizing that government._
@@steamedclam1 It's a pattern you notice everywhere once you start to see it. Look at all the complaints these days (across the globe) about overreach by governments and people who want to make everything about politics or blur the lines on commonly accepted categories and definitions for seemingly no reason. The common thread seems to be an inability to acknowledge boundaries, or a desire to destroy them, for personal gain or as a weird power play. You can't even really live as a human being if you can't have boundaries between the different aspects of your life. Between the private & the public. Between work & the rest of your life. Between the personal, the social & the political. Between local-level politics where you have a huge amount of sway & politics at a national or international level where you have very little sway. Ultimately meaning: Point 1: People trying to dissolve those boundaries against your will are not your friend, regardless of the mental gymnastics (the “greater good”, etc.) that they'll use to try to justify it. Point 2: Anyone who agrees with the previous point _usually_ is. They're the sort of people you can build a community with. Not a guarantee against them later crossing you, but a good litmus test to start with before you know them personally.
great decision Louis, I moved to Dallas a week ago, Texans are amazing and welcoming people, you just have to be respectful and willing to embrace the Texan culture, It's so much fun.
I know you agonized over this and spent a shix ton of money trying to make this work, but congratulations! Never regret the things you've done. Learn from them.
Dude, if they got Louis Rossman to move, a guy who, even when he criticised New York more than anyone else, he still defended why at the very least be was staying whenever comment section made an issue out of it "Louis, you should move." "Louis, if it's so bad then why do you stay?" If they got a guy like that to finally move then hooo dear New York is really and truly effed.
"here in New York city, we will force you to close your businesses, tax you for doing so, mismanage state funds, then bill YOU for our own mismanagement." Someone needs to teach the people doing this what the meaning of 1776 is. Perhaps give them a practical demonstration.
Democrats sure do a great job of running things. Now we've foolishly put them in charge of the federal government. You see what a disaster that's turning into.

Congrats Louis! Iv been subscribed to you for years. I have been yearning for the day you decide to leave that communist hell hole and save yourself from being run dry by the aweful leaders of New York. Super happy for Louis.
Good luck with your move Louis. In some previous videos, you spoke to the concerns you have for your employees -- which speaks volumes about your character. I'm curious if any of them will be able to make the move with you. For everyone's sake, I hope so, but also appreciate that a long distance move like that isn't easy.
Having visited and sepnt a lot of time in NYC since the 1980’s, the transition from terrible, to wonderful, and now horendous, is tragic because it was so avoidable. I loved the city, it residents etc but I cannot say the same for its current leaders and those who support utter nonsense pretending to own the moral high ground on the flavour of the day issues. People can deny it and vilify anyone who states it but the facts don’t lie. It’s very sad really.
It's what happens when corporatists are allowed to run a city instead of the people. Unchecked lobbying, deceptive trickle-up tactics, and stripping of benefits over time.
@@RDKirbyN yet the people will continue to vote for some so long they fly their rainbow flags and flash their equality trinkets. Then continue to call those who want to fix the problem as “fascists” or something dumb like that
I wish all New Yorkers would here this message. We must hold the government accountable for all of this bad behavior. Good on you, Louis, and all of my best wishes for success in Texas!!
Pretty sure there is plenty of snow in many regions of Texas. In fact, the intense cold of the previous few winters cause severe power crises that literally killed folks. Everything else is pretty spot on, though. Especially the food. Authentic Tex mex and BBQ foods are to die for
he gets it. you mean vote republican instead of demcrat. he agrees with you. that's why he doesn't respond to your post and pin it to the top of this video about how dare you bring politics into his money. lol.
Hopefully everyone moving to Texas remembers why they moved. Remember who was in office that drove you out of the state and don’t vote the same group in.
It's so nice seeing Lewis transition from I bleed New York City to fuck this place on out. Texas though damn I thought you were gonna follow the NY program and you're going to go down the Florida. CONGRATULATIONS 👏 wish you a the best in TX
Well it's not as bad as New York, but Texas does have its own problems. Like the agonizingly slow rate they're raising wages while prices and rent are unhindered.
What do you think would happen to the prices and rents if the government forced businesses to pay people a "living wage"? What do you think will happen when the government dictates what and where you can build housing and on top of that dictates how much you can sell or rent your property for? What do you think happens? Not like there are dozens of examples in leftist cities and states like commiefornia to look at or anything.

congrats on the move man! austin is an awesome city poised for lots of growth in the coming years. like you previously wished me in letters to louis, i too wish you great success in your endeavours! :)
Austin is an awesome city? Lol, you obviously don’t live in Texas. It’s the hellhole of Texas just like NYC. It is expensive to live there compared to rest of Texas and it’s a crime infested cesspool.
Austin is the San Francisco of Texas. Massive homeless encampment (growing every month), drug needles & human feces covering the whole area around I-35 from Round Rock all the way through downtown Austin, more homeless encampments showing up under & around US 183 at least as far north-northwest as Burnet road, and a city government that hates small businesses almost as much as NYC. If he moves to Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, or El Paso, then he might as well just stay in NY, because he will be moving again (or at least wishing that he could move again) within 5 years.
@@harbingertheheretic3541 So if he moves to any city in Texas, he's screwed? Meaning no matter what, he's stuck between a rock and a hard place between a mini NYC and a small town that can't grow his business.
@@harbingertheheretic3541 Austin is also being hyped up as the San Jose and Sacramento of Texas too. Yes the Sacramento Reference is related to how Downtown Austin has the state Lobbyists, Agencies, Governors and State Legislature offices.

If you move here you must leave your voting habits where you were. You people have created the mess which has become New York/California/Colorado/Chicago by voting criminals into office. Texas has zero use for that sort of thing. Come to Texas and become conservative, fine. But dont come here and screw things up here. We have Constitutional Carry here, if you dont like guns dont come here. If you want open borders, dont come here. New comers need to change, not Texans.
Ok, I will change my voting habits when I get to Texas, I promise. I'll start voting Democrat. Thanks for the advice!

I understand you will assume that, and it is a good way to welcome people our FREE states telling them: Remember why you left, and do not bring that crap over here... in this case seems that Louis is exempt of that rule, but we can never assume and do not say it, we have to protect our freedom.
Congratulations Louis for finally deciding to move your headquarters to a state that appreciate businesses and respects boundaries, make sure you pay your kidnappers what they ask before you leave or you will be receiving notices even in Texas, considered it a ransom for your freedom.

Dear NYC Business Owner: We mismanaged our money due to bureaucracy, corruption, and inefficiencies therefore we have decided that you have to pay for this. We wont fix anything but we may come back for more of your money in the future. We thank you for your involuntary compliance on this matter.
Dear NYC Government: gargle my balls. Best regards, Louis Rossmann
Should be "We mismanaged YOUR money, so we feel YOU should pay for this", which should make people even angrier, but I guess people over there are so numb and lubed up so much that they think the pricing there is normal!

That is amazing. The audacity to just send people a letter saying, "We took out a loan without consulting you and we need to pay it back so since you're one of our citizens doing business in our state who may or may not have benefited at all from this we are expecting a check from you within thirty days so we can pay back the money we agreed to pay back."
Man it must be really easy to sign some loan documents when you can just tell other people to pay it back for you.
Wait till you find out what the federal reserve does.
LOL - I know someone in California who got a letter that basically said "We know you paid this tax but the tax department did not send our department the funds that you paid so we expect you to pay it again now directly to us."

reminder to anyone else wanting to leave, make sure you don't vote for the same democrat policies that destroyed your former city!
Congratulations Louis! Much respect!
I started my business in New York and came to see that New York doesn't want small businesses to succeed. It became completely obvious when the NY tax department couldn't pay themselves as much as they wanted with their existing budget. So they started mailing out yearly extortion letters to every business saying we had to confirm our current address and mail it back with a mandatory $50 filing fee and serious penalties for non-compliance. They classified it as a "filing fee" so the NY tax department got to keep the money rather than it going into the state coffers. While not that much, I took it as a sign it would just keep getting worse and moved my business out of New York. I have no regrets. That was in 1994.
And 1994 doesn't seem that bad compared to today.
Smart man! I'd move your business out of America entirely tbh tho if you want to be safe...
NY has ALWAYS been one of the biggest corrupt shakedown states in the country. They always have a scheme for some kind of 'protection racket' swindle. I remember when they came up with the mandatory 2 year license plate registration scam then you get prorated pennies on the dollar when you turn the plates back in.
@@alexwoodhead6471 Europe sounds nice :)

Anyone who voted demonrats should stay there.
Remember, it will still take then ten years for the tax authorities to admit you are no longer a resident doing business there. Expect them to audit you for years since you did not get their permission to leave.

When Louis Rossman Moves to Texas he will deal with the Ex-California residents crowd talking about how they used to be in the Golden State with all the same stories he says about New York.

NYC with their insane prices, fees and now bad debt, increased crime and migrant issues. God bless this man for changing his own destiny.
Please do everything you can to ensure that you and your business are completely out of NY by the end of the calendar year. There's no reason to be subjected to another year of this NY tax bullshit. Seeing "Final" on the last NY tax return you ever file is going to feel incredible!

So nice to see people incentivized to stay in the city and help it thrive.

I predict that by the end of this year NYC will go bankrupt again like in 1975 under Mayor Abe Beame. New York State Governor Nelson Rockefeller helped New York City and Senator Jacob Javits and Bill Moynaham help NYC to emerge from bankruptcy by 1983 and believe me, both Senators were not deranged like the Senators from New York State and Governor today.
Very sorry for your struggle, young man. The good people of Texas will be glad to have you.
Simple talking and straight forward, I like it. God Bless you brother, GL in Texas!
it's absurd that they can retroactively charge you for no reason
It's just government, doing government things
when people will vote for them anyway, they can do whatever they want. the power of mass control
@@tonirvd3650 more like when they tamper with election process to win
Government charged me for 7 years for things that never happened(and "didn't need a court order for"), and forced me into homelessness for 3 years. It's one of the reasons I left California and since then have always been anti-big-government. Oh, and I can't sue them because they have sovereign immunity, so don't bother suggesting that.
It's not for "no reason", it's to pay for the unemployment that they caused with lockdowns.
I met a girl living in Delaware and going to university here. She was from NYC and she got her old employer from her waitress job to lie to the state so she could collect unemployment. She was getting $500 a week from NYC unemployment while not even living there! She showed me how she spent $21,000 on Prada and Gucci shit. It actually sickened me to hear how I made less than her despite having a job. It doesn't surprise me to hear NYC is struggling to pay back their loans...
Declare it
@@MononcOli I met her a few years ago, unfortunately I completely forgot her name as she was a friend of a friend.
Did she have a job and was lying to collect that unemployment? Because $500 per week is only $2000 a month, roughly $24,000 a year. Not nearly enough to be blowing that kind of money on "Prada and Gucci" shit. If she had a job while getting those benefits that's fucked up.
@@darrenmichaelsen2492 No, she does not have a job because she is 19 at college full-time and everything, rent, food, etc is paid for by her parents. She used to work part time in highschool as a waitress at a restaurant, she quit the job when she graduated and came here to university. She and her employer both lied (she blackmailed them over some health violations) so she could get $500 a week of disposable income she could spend on anything she wanted. There is a difference between not having a job and going to school, and being in the workforce and not having a job. And I wasn't joking about that Gucci and Prada stuff, she spent ALL of her money on luxury clothing and streetwear.
Report her.
In 2019 I took a position as a partner at a large law firm in New York City, which has traditionally been the holy grail of practicing law. I was paid pretty insane money, but couldn't take more than a year of NYC, not that the pandemic helped. I quit and moved to south Florida, and now have a much easier position as a CPA at a medium sized firm. I make half now what I did in NYC, but I live much better and have a much higher quality of life. You literally couldn't pay me enough to go back to New York. Believe me, they tried.
As a lawyer you’ll have trouble sleeping anyway I suppose
How do you like Ron DeSantis?
I had a similar story, working in LA for a big firm and they wanted me to emigrate.
They were taken aback when I said no way in hell could I live in the US. I have a far better quality of life in the UK.

I left NY 24 years ago. One of the best decisions I've ever made. NY was an exciting place to be when I was young because the madness of the city mirrored my own madness, but very quickly the city turned me into a lifeless zombie going through the motions just to pay the rent. I realized that if I were to stay, I would die spiritually. You couldn't give me $100K a year to live in NY again.

The progressive woke Left has literally destroyed and debauched pretty much every aspect of American society, they're now going after little kids with their trans BS and hormone blockers. The degenerate Dems have normalized mental illness. The Repubs are just as corrupt, and castrated, and going along with the Dems. The only hope I see for Americans, as an observer far away, is in towns and small cities where there is still a slim chance that an honest mayor and sheriff and DA can be elected, out of reach of Soros and the billionaire demons.
Great decision, Louis. Texas would love to have you.
"This is a one time charge for the year."
So it's not a one time charge. It's an annual charge.
This is NYC, it won't be long until that annual charge turns into a monthly charge.
With an added mandatory $50 fee for sending the money in of course!
this is like portland's 6 school bonds that they keep renewing forever.
The same thing happened to Portland, Oregon. I moved from there to Texas nine years ago. It was very strange and sad to watch Portland, a once beautiful little city, get dragged down the economic tube. The once thriving down town area as fit now only for vandals, homeless people and criminals.
It was rocking last night pretty well at some of the clubs. Weird I even saw Kids out late rideing scooters. I guess people are just happy to see the decline. And enjoying the times.
@@MickeyMishra My son's still there so I visit now and then, but I'm sure glad I don't live there anymore. He pays 2500 bucks a month to rent a two bedroom pos bungalow in a crappy inner northeast Portland neighborhood.

Hey Chris. But not everybody has a great UA-cam channel like you and can move to almost anywhere they want. That said, I don't know. I think I have a wonderful lifestyle in New York.

Some time later I met his wife. Lovely woman, but yeah, no model/actress there. Sometimes it's easier to convince ourselves we do not want, that which we likely can't get. Nothing bad here, just a fairly normal/common reaction.
Personally, I've done everything I can in my life to minimize debt and thus, interest payments. If my state started charging me interest on a loan I didn't take, I'd be high tailing it out of there too.

Really, really happy for you, Louis. Your work ethic, common sense, and decency allowed you to survive in NYC. Those same things will let you thrive in Texas. Just don't beat yourself up about not doing it sooner. Things happen when they happen. Great things ahead, sir. Enjoy.
Well said. I live in NYC and even though I never met Louis I'll be sad he's gone. It's disgusting how our government, the city, and landlords treat their citizens. I'm ashamed. NYC is both the most decrepit place on Earth and the most amazing. I've also had incredible experiences here I would never have had anywhere else. Still, most of these edifying experiences came at the price of not being able to build wealth. NYC cuts people off at the knees. I've read enough biographies to know that it wasn't always this way.

I live in corpus christi and i check on every single NY license plate in my complex and talk to them to gauge why they moved and talk to as many NY'ers i find out an about. Believe it or not I was at a Jalisco's with a friend, 2 people come in and i tell him theyre from NY. He goes how do you know? I said eh NY'ers we got a look to us. Turned out they were trump supporters from Long island lol. Point is im finding so far every NY'er i come across shares Texas values. People from Cali, i cant help you there, im sorry lol But ive made it my mission to keep this beautiful state RED as long as i live here. Im still welcoming to people no matter there views but lets be honest, we have to make sure this place stays great like its always been.
@@rossmannkoigroup Looks like New York has turned you into a raging anti-semite. You'll fit right in in Texas!
@@rossmannkoigroup the bigotry is coming from you, just look at your comment. We despise new Yorkers moving because there is am obvious trend of them moving, and bringing their affluent ideas and "progress". You need to adapt to Texas, which means dropping your liberal ideals and excepting that you are the transplant, it is going to be a characteristic or yours whether you like it or not. You are intrinsically a new Yorker, get over it
@@rossmannkoigroup please move back to nyc
So glad to hear you're taking your business and ideas to a state that will appreciate them and support you and your family. Welcome, fellow Texan.
👍 Very glad to hear you finally "pulled the trigger" Louis, congratulations for making a very practical and sound decision. Tough as I'm sure that it was the magnitude and level of dysfunction that exists at present in NYC is astronomical, until a good "hosing, bleaching and purging" of those perpetuating this mess,(state and city), it's only going to get worse. Onward! To better and brighter things! 👊
Wrong trigger, people need to pull the trigger like they did in 1776 Wars are not run one by retreating
I see Americans following their constitutional rights. The Govt. has become tyrannical against its citizens
@T R surprised that puke tube did not block you like fascist book puts people in their f*** book jail for such truths
Woohoo, Rossman Realty, Season 2!
Seriously, congratulations. Looking forward to see how you progress.
Ah New York, the lefty's perfect shining utopia of love!
Amazing news to hear! We met in Austin a few months ago and you told me how you were waiting for some fines the state had imposed on you to settle before you could leave for good. I am happy to hear you are moving to Texas and finally putting New York behind! Hope you are ready for the heat and humidity!
Hey Louis, I haven't been keeping up with your channel lately, so sorry for being late to the comments to wish you congratulations on the new opportunities you have taken. It's great to hear that you're finally separating yourself from NY and NYC! I hope that these changes bring you nothing but the best in the months and years to come!!
Been a long time viewer of your channel, and have lived in Texas my whole life. Let me be among the first of many to welcome you home.
I have a staff of 10 well compensated professionals in Florida. I filed and paid our state unemployment taxes for the second quarter 2022 which were less than $6.00 for the quarter. $6 not $600 or $6,000, $6.
yes but you live in florida
@@armand9732yeah. NYC is a dump. That's why the migration pattern is from NY to FL. It's why NY lost a congress person to Florida.
Florida is a shit hole.
Florida is dope.
@@Dan16673 Florida is the taint of America.
Long time fan here. Recently visited your NYC store half for equipment I needed, half because it was somewhat of a pilgrimage for me. Selfishly glad you didn’t move 3 years ago, wishing you well with the new store. Try to pick one where the cat can’t accidentally get locked in the basement haha
I couldn't be more happy for you man this is a whole new chapter and we are so excited to be sharing it with you
So basically they are charging you until you take care of new york’s loan for them.
I think the state of CA has similar policies. Another great progressive haven.
Louis, I understand that this move for economic survival has been long in the making. My Grandparents on my mother's side lost everything in the stockmarket crash. However they purchased a citrus Grove outside of Lakeland FL. Sight unseen in 1928 only a brochure and property deed in hand. They left New York with my 2 and 3 year old uncles in a 1921 wore out Ford Truck and a tent as the Grove had no house on sight. They arrived to find a swampy piece of land underwater. My grandfather got employment at a phosphate pit. He was able to rent equipment from the company to drain the land. And he planted citrus from seed and grafting. You have to graft a orange seedling to a lemon or lime seedling to get a sweet orange or They are as sour as a lemon or lime. I had to relocate 2 times in my life as an adult. Once from Memphis Tn , to Jackson Ms. And then to Gulfport Ms. I spent 36 years there. I retired to Mobile Al. Good luck in your move. Give my best to the Kitties 😸 💕
Loved the story.... I lived in WinterHaven Fla.
@@thommysides4616 Wish I could be in Polk County.
You were smart to move out of Memphghanistan. I escaped in 2018 and never looked back. A shooting every day and a homicide every other. Most recently promoted from 3rd most violent to 2nd most violent city per capita in the US.
@@im2yys4u81 I had no choice the Shelby County Sherrif Department escorted me to the State Line the Day Elvis died. I was told I'd join Elvis if I ever returned.
@@jkirkland153 The day Elvis died I was living in the apartments on Kraft Rd right across the street from Graceland. I could stand on my balcony and look right into the yard at Graceland. I was sitting there sipping a beer with the neighbor the night Jerry Lee crashed the gate in his white Mark V.
Interesting how mismanagement of funds by the state becomes a new tax for businesses. Kinda like there is no accountability....ever.
That's how the leeches in government have always run it at all levels. US once had a 90% income tax because the government thought running up extreme debt for war and the rebuilding of Europe was the correct decision.
Governments are like women in that regard
Louis, Welcome to Texas! I have some friends from NYC who have moved here over the past 37 years, and they all tell me they like living here.
One friend who moved his Dad's Auto Body Business from NYC in 1984 says he knew he was in the right place when everyone heard of popular phrases. "I am Fixing..." or "I reckon..."
We look forward to helping you grow your business!
John
I can't wait to see how the Texas season of the show is
Hey Louis- So glad to hear you are finally getting out. I'm a NY lifer, born and raised, that moved to Texas for similar reasons. If you need any help lets connect, don't want anything for it. Good Luck
There should absolutely be an exchange program for people and businesses.
People like Louis apply to move because they like Texas and some idiot applies to move to NY because they like people like Cuomo.
Same with immigrants, people who love the core values of America apply to move in and people who hate freedom of speech and capitalism (not corporatism) apply to leave.
And we can just exchange without any cost to that person. And people are happy or get a reality check, but they get what they want.
Of course it's important to have all kinds of people with diverse ideas and personalities, but it's vital to have similar core principals and values that everyone agrees on, even if you have difference of opinions on everything else, because without that all you get is chaos.
You could even, at the risk of being overly reductionist, boil down the core value to _belief in the importance of establishing & protecting mutually respected boundaries._
Seriously, this is like the heart of what some people call the “social fabric”.
It's the basis of personal boundaries, social boundaries, and property boundaries.
It also highlights the role of consent in shaping them.
Any functioning person gets the gist of this most of the time on a practical level.
Trouble is, things seem to get blurry when it comes to violating these boundaries “by proxy” via state action.
Quite a lot of people seem fine with that. Often for the flimsiest of reasons.
That, and believing that transgressing them is morally acceptable because some self-appointed majority (or even a technocratic elite) believes it to be so.
You can't just have mobs choosing to ignore the aforementioned value and deciding to loot someone they deem an “oppressor”, on a whim, in the court of public opinion…
That's how you get destruction of wealth that makes everyone poorer.
Whether the looting is DIY or state-sanctioned makes little difference…
I've found that asking whether a simple majority should be able to override this right is a good litmus test for checking if someone is a closet commie.
The entire point of things like constitutional constraints is to be a check on the power of government, _including a voter majority utilizing that government._
These 2 comments ought to be pinned!
@@steamedclam1 It's a pattern you notice everywhere once you start to see it.
Look at all the complaints these days (across the globe) about overreach by governments and people who want to make everything about politics or blur the lines on commonly accepted categories and definitions for seemingly no reason.
The common thread seems to be an inability to acknowledge boundaries, or a desire to destroy them, for personal gain or as a weird power play.
You can't even really live as a human being if you can't have boundaries between the different aspects of your life.
Between the private & the public.
Between work & the rest of your life.
Between the personal, the social & the political.
Between local-level politics where you have a huge amount of sway & politics at a national or international level where you have very little sway.
Ultimately meaning:
Point 1: People trying to dissolve those boundaries against your will are not your friend, regardless of the mental gymnastics (the “greater good”, etc.) that they'll use to try to justify it.
Point 2: Anyone who agrees with the previous point _usually_ is. They're the sort of people you can build a community with. Not a guarantee against them later crossing you, but a good litmus test to start with before you know them personally.
great decision Louis, I moved to Dallas a week ago, Texans are amazing and welcoming people, you just have to be respectful and willing to embrace the Texan culture, It's so much fun.
Dallas sucks. Over crowded like NYC, horrible traffic, high prices.
You'll leave Dallas too.
I know you agonized over this and spent a shix ton of money trying to make this work, but congratulations! Never regret the things you've done. Learn from them.
Dude, if they got Louis Rossman to move, a guy who, even when he criticised New York more than anyone else, he still defended why at the very least be was staying whenever comment section made an issue out of it "Louis, you should move." "Louis, if it's so bad then why do you stay?"
If they got a guy like that to finally move then hooo dear New York is really and truly effed.
That is the real story here.
What happened to moving to Florida? Austin is the NYC/San Francisco of Texas. Complete cesspool.
he figured that out, but the move is more about new job than business location
GREAT execution on this video... even down to the framing of the subject. Clear, concise, in and out. Love it.
"here in New York city, we will force you to close your businesses, tax you for doing so, mismanage state funds, then bill YOU for our own mismanagement."
Someone needs to teach the people doing this what the meaning of 1776 is. Perhaps give them a practical demonstration.
Democrats sure do a great job of running things. Now we've foolishly put them in charge of the federal government. You see what a disaster that's turning into.
The residents of NYC were 90% in favor of King George III during the Revolutionary War. Not much has changed.

I'm suprised you put up with NYC's BS as long as you have.
Congrats on the move. I wish you success in Texas. ❤️💚💙
I really hope to see Louis start a cow farm in the future.. hopefully a collab with Greg Judy 2025 👨🌾
@@dertythegrower - more likely goats!
Congrats Louis! Iv been subscribed to you for years. I have been yearning for the day you decide to leave that communist hell hole and save yourself from being run dry by the aweful leaders of New York. Super happy for Louis.
The only reasonable response to that extortion letter is to move out of state. I would've been furious.
Good luck with your move Louis. In some previous videos, you spoke to the concerns you have for your employees -- which speaks volumes about your character. I'm curious if any of them will be able to make the move with you. For everyone's sake, I hope so, but also appreciate that a long distance move like that isn't easy.
Having visited and sepnt a lot of time in NYC since the 1980’s, the transition from terrible, to wonderful, and now horendous, is tragic because it was so avoidable. I loved the city, it residents etc but I cannot say the same for its current leaders and those who support utter nonsense pretending to own the moral high ground on the flavour of the day issues. People can deny it and vilify anyone who states it but the facts don’t lie. It’s very sad really.
The residents are themselves responsible for the government.
It's what happens when corporatists are allowed to run a city instead of the people. Unchecked lobbying, deceptive trickle-up tactics, and stripping of benefits over time.
@@RDKirbyN yet the people will continue to vote for some so long they fly their rainbow flags and flash their equality trinkets. Then continue to call those who want to fix the problem as “fascists” or something dumb like that

I wish all New Yorkers would here this message. We must hold the government accountable for all of this bad behavior. Good on you, Louis, and all of my best wishes for success in Texas!!
You always had common sense Lou. Texas is a great state, I almost moved there --- great people, great real estate, great food, low taxes, and no snow.
No snow, huh?
Pretty sure there is plenty of snow in many regions of Texas. In fact, the intense cold of the previous few winters cause severe power crises that literally killed folks.
Everything else is pretty spot on, though. Especially the food. Authentic Tex mex and BBQ foods are to die for
Just don't go to Texas and vote New York. Hope you get what I mean.
he gets it. you mean vote republican instead of demcrat. he agrees with you. that's why he doesn't respond to your post and pin it to the top of this video about how dare you bring politics into his money. lol.
SO GLAD YOU'RE OFF TO TEXAS! You'll find business so much easier with your drive and mindset, setting up in NYC is playing the game on hard mode
At least a game in hard mode might be fun. I don't see any fun to be had in NYC.
Welcome to Texas, vote RED.
Hopefully everyone moving to Texas remembers why they moved. Remember who was in office that drove you out of the state and don’t vote the same group in.
It's so nice seeing Lewis transition from I bleed New York City to fuck this place on out. Texas though damn I thought you were gonna follow the NY program and you're going to go down the Florida.
CONGRATULATIONS 👏 wish you a the best in TX
Well it's not as bad as New York, but Texas does have its own problems. Like the agonizingly slow rate they're raising wages while prices and rent are unhindered.
What do you think would happen to the prices and rents if the government forced businesses to pay people a "living wage"?
What do you think will happen when the government dictates what and where you can build housing and on top of that dictates how much you can sell or rent your property for?
What do you think happens?
Not like there are dozens of examples in leftist cities and states like commiefornia to look at or anything.
@@albundy06 Did I say a SINGLE thing about regulating anything? Jesus Christ, you rightoids are just as bad as the leftists. How the hell am I supposed to fight for my own personal wages if I can't even say I'm not getting enough? So much for freedom of speech.
My boss literally just walked up to me as I typed this and told me all of our prices across the board have gone up. Your ××××ing delusional.
@@albundy06 Typical coward
God bless you Louis I have learned a lot from you over the years, good luck in the wonderful state of Texas very soon!
Congrats Louis on getting out of NYC. 🥰 NY is a nothing but a landfill with buildings on it. I apologize for my negativity.
congrats on the move man! austin is an awesome city poised for lots of growth in the coming years. like you previously wished me in letters to louis, i too wish you great success in your endeavours! :)
Austin is an awesome city? Lol, you obviously don’t live in Texas. It’s the hellhole of Texas just like NYC. It is expensive to live there compared to rest of Texas and it’s a crime infested cesspool.
Austin is the San Francisco of Texas. Massive homeless encampment (growing every month), drug needles & human feces covering the whole area around I-35 from Round Rock all the way through downtown Austin, more homeless encampments showing up under & around US 183 at least as far north-northwest as Burnet road, and a city government that hates small businesses almost as much as NYC. If he moves to Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, or El Paso, then he might as well just stay in NY, because he will be moving again (or at least wishing that he could move again) within 5 years.
I hate getting shadow banned.
@@harbingertheheretic3541 So if he moves to any city in Texas, he's screwed?
Meaning no matter what, he's stuck between a rock and a hard place between a mini NYC and a small town that can't grow his business.
@@harbingertheheretic3541 Austin is also being hyped up as the San Jose and Sacramento of Texas too. Yes the Sacramento Reference is related to how Downtown Austin has the state Lobbyists, Agencies, Governors and State Legislature offices.
Will the last person to leave Manhattan please turn off the lights?
That sir is my favorite comment in the lot of them on this video :-)
GOOD LUCK Louis. Things will get better !!!
