I'd rather make $50,000/year in Arkansas than $80,000/year in New York.

Almost all the states are red now. Which ones specifically?

Look at the cost of living in the blue states vs wage then do the same for red states.

Pretty sure there is nothing worse than being in Arkansas....except for living in Mississippi

Dat's raciss

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

it's pretty obvious that low cost of living correlates with low income as well as low quality of life for residents. basically all of the metrics show the worst places to live in america are the most right-leaning and the best places to live lean the most left.

Turns out it's more expensive to live in states with actual shit to do in it. Who would have guessed?

Why don’t they make actual shit to do? Remember they are red states, they don’t have any of that blue tape that stops them from building mega businesses.

Lmfao kills me every time

lol sounds like something a brokie would say.

Let’s compare quality of life for blue states vs red states?

Let’s compare average wealth blue states vs red states.

There’s zero answer still why deep leaning red Mississippi is consistently a shit hole and a dem hasn’t represented their state in 30 plus years. They can’t blame the Dems over there

All democrats care about is the wealthy and the elites. It's good to have a party for working class people like the Republican party.

Those numbers you included also included student loan debt which skews the numbers. We know red states don’t believe in edjumakation so it doesn’t apply to them

Good choice. You will probably get robbed by a illegal immigrant and that immigrant will be let go in New york to rob someone else.

Almost all the states are red now. Which ones specifically?

New York, California, and Illinois are just 3 of many states in the Red from Biden/Harris Policies of open borders with non-citizens receiving Housing, Medical care, food, spending money, etc.

Billions of Taxpayer dollars fund illegals in Sanctuary Cities.

The logic of a genius. “My party is for the working class because we are dirt poor” lmfao

 

[wolffanghameha]

Maybe because they're rural states and rural areas tend to have less GDP/capita and also tend to vote Republican. Those states are also quite inland states, which were always poorer due to being further from the ports (same as in most countries). Plus they're poor because of old Southern policies around farming, Black land loss and Jim Crow, but I don't know about that stuff.
