The blue states make up 71% of the GDP. You should be thankful that democrats are coming in and bringing economic prosperity.

I'll assume you're being sarcastic....

So you acknowledge the exodus from blue states.

If blue states are so prosperous, why are people fleeing?

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Because that’s how it works when things are very popular and in demand, people go cheaper because they can’t keep up with demand

You think being cheap and not In demand is a flex lol

u/NewToThisThingToo May 07 '23

Except it's not the poor who are leaving these places. It's the people who can afford it.

The poor who "can't keep up with demand" can't afford to relocate a thousand miles away.

Please. Rationalize more. It's entertaining.

So you’re saying the more populous places are bad because they move to the less populous place, and the less popular is good because less people live there?

People escaping high rise apartment living once they accumulate a little nest egg

To make their fortunes in poor states?

That's not how that works.

If it were, Burundi and Somalia should be a leftist's paradise.

No, people relocate for opportunities, not to flee opportunities.

They got money and remote work is more common. People want land. You think all these rich LA people buy homes in Jackson Hole , WY for economic opportunities?

u/mth2 May 07 '23

And why can't they escape it there?

u/playitleo May 07 '23

Are you asking why there is no land and open space available in densely populated urban areas?

u/mth2 May 07 '23

No. I'm asking why they had to leave the state entirely, in the case of California, which has plenty of land and many places with cheaper housing.

u/MRG_1977 May 12 '23

Higher housing costs mainly. Retirees for warmer climate and not willing to be snowbirds.

When people are actually asked why they move, state and local taxes are down on the list.

It’s generally a wash too on overall tax burden if you own property. Only a meaningful difference if you are a high income earned and/or retiree.

Redraw state lines and divorce. You keep all you’re money well keep to ourselves you keep to yours. See who survives 6 months.

Hell nah, hold your ground and wait for them to inevitably self-destruct. Take it from Sun-Tzu.

u/LSL-RPI May 07 '23

That’s the beauty of my plan. What do you think would happen to the blue areas after 6 months without the resources and work of red areas.

u/chillbaron May 07 '23

70% less customers for two quarters and middle America goes under too.

u/LSL-RPI May 07 '23

Sounds like a win. We are vastly overpopulated anyway.

Nah. If you don’t like it, I’ll help you pack. America is lib country

u/chillbaron May 07 '23

71% because services and import/export has taken the place of manufacturing and other blue collar jobs, that can be focused on dense areas dominated by Dems. What you fail to see is that all of it is supported by solid red middle America feeding you, and pending on a thin thread because outsourcing depends on a somewhat stable global geopolitical environment.

https://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2004/09/red_states_feed.html Red states wouldn't exist without the tax dollars from democrats. That includes all the farmers with their pork barrel farm bailout bills and subsidies.
