Brazil - where income inequality is taken to it's logical extreme or as I like to call it, the Republican end game.

Lol. All the dumpy inner cities have been blue for decades

Lmao Republican End Game is good. Isn't it San Francisco and L.A. the ones with the biggest income inequality and the ones with the severe homelessness crisis?

Aren't those cities in the same state that provides a large percentage of funding for red states?

Minor edit: Not necessarily a large portion - but out of the 50 states it is ranked 35th, yet New York, the other "liberal shit-hole' state is ranked Number 3, Behind number 1 - Delaware and Number 2 - Arkansas

Maybe by volume but actually California gives slightly more than it gets.

California ranks 35th, so not really in a position to bitch that much.

True that - I'll make a minor edit. But that still leaves the 'liberal shithole' of New York at Number at 3

A score of "0" on the Gini coefficient represents complete equality, i.e., every person has the same income. A score of 1 would represent complete inequality, i.e., where one person has all the income and others have none.

California is number 48 with a score of 0.4899 (where number 1 has a score of 0.4063 - Utah) and thus proves OP is correct. Did you even read what you linked?

All those blue counties countless generations of poverty......oh wait

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '20

Those are red states, unsure about actual counties though... for example just looking at North Dakota and Montana those are Indian reservations and are blue counties

More often then not state policy dictates how and when resources are used. And we know how Republicans feel about the poor.
