Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

Garmel said:
A year of net population growth doesn't mean much. Cal, NY, and NJ are set to lose House seats after the 2030 census. No blue states will gain one House seat.

People are moving to the south because the cost of living has gotten out of hand in the blue states.

I won't disagree with you on that last point. When there's a ton of people it's hard to afford everything.

US News and World has a list that looks at technological innovation and having a knowledge based economy. With the exception of Utah the top 10 are all blue states. Companies relocate to the south for the same reason they set up shop in Mexico or India.

People can actually make a living in the south. You don't make as much but as money as up north but the COL is cheap.

Taxes and an anti-business atmosphere is killing the north. They are moving to the south because it's easier to do business here.

Btw, U.S News has Cal at number one for business. 🤣

Yeah, they can be safely ignored.

Perhaps you should read what the CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond said to why they won't do business in Cal anymore.
 
That settles it. They have an assessment that's different from yours so they must be wrong. The US News list I referenced focused on technological innovation and having a knowledge based economy. I don't think there is much doubt California belongs near the top of the list. Massachusetts is their only real competition for the top spot.

Cool. Cal has Silicon Valley and other old money companies that produce technological innovation. However, Cal is not producing jobs as a whole and they shouldn't be number one. People are leaving in droves and they would have a negative population shift in 2030 compared to 2020 if it wasn't for illegals. That's just fact.
 
A couple more facts. They have net positive migration of young well-educated people. They hemorrhage older less productive people. Also the immigrants they attract are more likely to have a college education or advanced degree than their native-born population.

If that's working out so well why is Cal the number one state in unemployment? They are also number one in poverty in regards to real income as well.

The legal migrants might be well educated but the illegals aren't.
 
They are also the capital of homelessness despite a multi billion dollar platform to end it- it gets worse

They also have a fecal matter app for walking the street

Go Cali!
 
Its true that California is not perfect. But they have found ways to lead the world in generating the technological progress that leads to higher standards of living. Looking forward to the day a Texas or Florida startup becomes an Open AI or Nvidia or Anthropic or Databricks.
