    Among the big states, Florida and Texas are the state governments that have suffered the largest drops in revenues. But if they want to turn down federal assistance, good for them.

    Changes in state tax revenues in the pandemic period (April-December 2020) compared with same months in 2019:

    California: +1.2%
    Texas: -10.4
    Florida: -11.3
    NY: -4.1
    Pennsylvania: -3.1
    Illinois: -2.0
    Ohio: -0.9
    NC: +2.1
    Georgia: +1.9
    Michigan: +0.3

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/01/b...x-revenue.html

    The states that got hammered were the ones with big fossil fuels sectors (TX, ND, AK, OK), big tourism sectors (NV, HI, FL), and a high reliance on sales taxes.

    CNN pundit suggest the lesson from COVID might be that we
    should mask up and social distance ourselves every winter
    so fewer people get the flu:


    I havent had so much as a cold since November 2019
    and considering maintaining Covid behaviors
    Always wondered why so many Asians walked around
    everyday life wearing masks.

    That “CNN pundit” is Dr. Paul Offit, a widely-respected pediatrician
    specializing in infectious diseases, vaccines, immunology, and virology
    who just happens to be co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine.

    If you disagree, fine, but let’s frame these discussions honestly.

    You know what. I hope the blue states keep wearing masks and destroying their businesses.

    I’m thinking of moving to the Cobb county area anyway as will many others. Hopefully I’ll be able to capitalize on the 100% appreciation on my home value and buy a sick place in Georgia.

    I would suggest Bartow or Cherokee instead, if you're dead set on the Atlanta metro. Cobb has almost finished it's transition to blue. I'm considering ditching the entire state for eastern Tennessee or NW SC.

    The Mrs is a professional makeup artists and film is a big industry there. I can work from anywhere but we would just need to be close to Atlanta.

    I’ll look into those areas.

    It is amazing how many people think removing the mandate means they are banning masks.

    These idiots cannot think without the government telling them what to do. its mind boggling

    If anyone is interested in what critical thinking looks like, read this twitter thread, about how the data simply never aligned with hypothesis, and thus minds were changed.

    Very healthy

    It’s extremely reminiscent of the decades of climate alarmist articles written that said we would be under water by now.

    These prognosticators think they are way smarter than they are.

    The problem is it is impossible to prove them wrong in the moment... "if we don't act now, we will all be dead in 2030" is a powerful argument to idiots. And, they are "experts" after all.

    Funny though that "acting" always requires giving up liberty and more power to the government.

    Every time

    That was before his EO and the lockdown of the state for months longer than it needed to be.

    Difference between me and you is that I learn each day and adapt. You were praising Cuomo when it was clear the nursing home numbers were fake.
