The top ten POOREST states are all RED states: MS, WV, AL, LA, KY, AR, SC, OK, TN, TX

[T. A. Gardner]

“More than 653,000 Californians moved to another state in 2019, while about 480,000 people moved here from elsewhere in the country, according to data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. (The 2020 numbers aren’t available, but analyses of other 2020 data sets have yielded similar results.),” The New York Times reported over the weekend.

Where are they moving to? In Texas, 82,235 people moved from California in the last year. In Arizona, 59,713. Nevada is now home to 47,322 former California residents; Washington 46,791; and Oregon 37,927, the Times wrote.

Yet, CA's population grew in 2019 by 130,000, so the people who left were replaced with more people.

So if 653,000 Californians left CA in 2019, 883,000 people immigrated to CA or were born there.

[QUOTE=Joe Capitalist;5302247]The top ten POOREST states are all RED states: MS, WV, AL, LA, KY, AR, SC, OK, TN and TX.
The states with the HIGHEST CRIME RATES are also RED states: LA, SC, AR, OK, MO, AL, AK and MS.

And remember all the RepubliQans who voted AGAINST certifying the election and who still haven't said Biden won the election.

Remember that when you go to the voting booth in November. Highest crime , highest homicide rate, over all highest death by gun, dependency on the blue states with the highest dependency on fed, Highest ignorance, highest rape rate, The most unsafe cities over 200,000, Highest welfare , highest food stamps support, worst states to bring up children, the worst income in this country, most hate groups, highest inflation March 2021 to March 2022, States with the most unsafe cities', the least safe states and worst education. Give me one reason that would suggest you're not brain-dead stupid by voting for a republican.
One more point if the economy is at all a concern to you, you would be an idiot to vote for a republican president, They are a disaster for the economy compared to democrats that are elected presidents. That's by every aspect of our economy. Don't argue unless you have a real source that says that something I said above is not correct.

If the federal government controls everything why are there any variances between the states?

I'm a real estate guy so I love this stuff.

California has lost population the last two years. The biggest losses within the state have been in SF and LA county. Some of those people leaving SF and LA have stayed in state and moved to where's it more "affordable" like the Inland Empire or Sacramento area, and others have just left the state. Texas I believe is where the most have gone but plenty have left to Seattle, Portland, Boise, Denver and Las Vegas as well as others.

People can debate the reasons why, but those facts aren't debatable.

Have you met LV426?

It is naive to think government (at any level) controls those factors. How does a new city government increase or decrease crime since they don't usually make major policy changes? In my state those officials at the city/school district level are non-partisan and do not run on party labels.

There seems to be a real need to believe our party makes everything better.

Leaving aside the idiocy of people trying to tell others how to vote on here (as if there are a bunch of fence sitters who post here who regularly vote both Democratic and Republican and therefore can be convinced) I do think policies implemented are important. No one branch of government has total control of course but use San Francisco as an example where we just recalled our DA. The feeling was he was too supportive of criminals and was soft on even the bad criminals. He had the power to charge more folks if he desired. So to answer your question local government (or the DA) does have a say in how crime is prosecuted (or isn't).

[Joe Capitalist]

Neither can you. In my case, it's more one of I'm smart enough to not want to spend my money on living in a fucked up state like California or New York. Oh, Chevron just moved their Corporate headquarters to Texas leaving California... Another large corporation gone.

Oh, I already live in an exclusive, gated community so I can keep out the riff-raff and undesirables like you. So, you see I CAN afford it.
Maybe you'll eventually make enough to get out of that trailer park with the dirt roads. Eh, maybe not.

I agree but think that is more true of large cities with a bigger range of political ideologies. Not many DAs in middle or smaller cities/counties would have enough supporters on the far left willing to try more radical approaches.

Can the DA's methods be directly connected to increased crime?

[MAGA MAN]

How so? Cutting it at 50 years seems arbitrary. Why not 60 years? Why not 100 years?

And what is data from 40 years ago going to tell us about data from the last ten years?

Because the last 50 years shows a long term trend that ten does not.

Do I think their actions/methods have influence? No question. But is it solely on them? I don't think so.

So your nursing home has a security fence and gate to prevent patients like you from wandering away. Congrats.

In 2020, there were 420,259 live births in California. More people left California than were born there.

Sure you do... Found a photo even!

Again, who is Minty?

You are so delusional and obsessed with me you have given me a "pet" name.

Uggggh. Need a brain scrub now.

Pretend you aren't the former Mint Julep from the old DC Junkies board, Minty. And tell us what you meant by your post. What IS the difference between those states? Why don't you have the guts to come right out and say what you really mean.

"What is the difference between states like Vermont and the New England states and those listed above?

Things that make you go hmmm."
