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

Are you autistic, LV?

No, but you clearly are suffering from early onset Alzheimer's and/or dementia since you can't seem to remember what you believe day to day.

 

[LV426]

You chided me for disliking growth in my part of rural Texas then seem to take delight in focusing upon people leaving rural areas for the cities?

LMAO!

Do you think the lack of growth in your area has anything to do with people leaving your rural area for cities?

 

[LV426]

Can you understand the rural residents aren't so much leaving for the cities as the cities are growing out toward them as I'm experiencing?

No, they're leaving the rural areas...this isn't urban sprawl suddenly annexing podunk trashville.

This is plainly that people leave rural areas because there's nothing for them there.

His map is from 2010. There might be something out there that's more current.

I was looking for more data myself. Still, as a fellow abstract thinker, you know the picture is more complex that some members are making it.

Consider this; how many people plan to retire to "the country" compared to an apartment in the city?

TOW retired to the country. I've retired to the country. Several members are in suburban areas, not the city.

That said, I'm trying to figure out if there's more to LV's goal on this thread than simple concrete thinking.

 

[MAGA MAN]

Wouldn't that also be a cherry pick, then?

No.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

LMAO!

You insisted people were leaving high cost areas, but the data I provided you proves they aren't.

Instead of accepting the data, you slip back into your habit -nay, your compulsion- to condescend because you put your fucking foot in your big mouth and you don't know how to save face now.

You should ignore me as being dumber than you and not worth your time, LV.

Who is Minty?

Disingenuousness isn't a good look on you, Minty.

 

[LV426]

No.

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?

 

[Life is Golden]

Disingenuousness isn't a good look on you, Minty.

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.

Still on this shit, huh?

Still don't want to admit LV is right and that you were conned.

Fact of the matter is that all the urban centers have grown their population over the last 10 years while all the rural areas lost population.

People didn't leave the urban centers of California; they left the podunk trash parts of California because LA grew by 200,000 people and SF grew by 100,000 people during the period Texas was supposedly poaching 60,000 jobs from all of CA's 16.9M employed workers.

60,000 represents 0.3% of all CA workers, and that was over 10 years while during that same amount of time, SF added 100,000 people and LA added 200,000.

My in-laws live there so I spend some time there. It's interesting that a state with the most Fortune 500 HQ's and has all that oil money etc. along with so many people (with money) and businesses moving from the coasts (California especially) is among the poorest. But what do I know, haha.

It's not. Joe Crapitalist is full of it .

 

[ExpressLane]

"So many people" are not leaving CA...this is another lie.

Less than 0.1% of CA moved during the pandemic.

California lost Congressional seats .

 

[Phantasmal]

It's not. Joe Crapitalist is full of it .

„Looking at multi-year averages for Texas, the state's official poverty rate for 2018-2020 of 12.9% (3.7 million people) is significantly worse than the national average of 11.2% (36.5 million people) for the same time period.Sep 14, 2021“

[ExpressLane]

But they are because Republicans run those states, so why are Republicans keeping Black people in poverty?

And the large cities where blacks live are ran by blacks.

 

[LV426]

California lost Congressional seats .

Yeah, because people left the shitty parts of the state.

LA, SF, SD, Oakland, Sacramento....these places all gained population.

Inland Empire, San Bernadino, Eureka, Northern CA (North of SF)...these places all lost population.

 

[ExpressLane]

Actually, Democrat districts tend to be the poorest:

Looks like your position has been blown up, which is why you are now attempting to deflect.

BOOM!!!

 

[LV426]

And the large cities where blacks live are ran by blacks.

No, they're still run by the state, they just don't want to help the cities because they're full of Black people and you and your "very fine people" are a bunch of fucking racists.

And BTW - when you losers took over control of these "Dem cities" with emergency managers, you ended up making everything worse...like you did in Flint.

 

[LV426]

BOOM!!!

Don't celebrate yet, because buried in that link is the data that shows Blue districts have median income of $61K while Red districts have median income of $53K.

 

[Flash]

Right, because of institutional racism.

But only one party has proposals to address it, but you oppose all those proposals, REMEMBER?

Since you already agreed they don't affect the outcome having proposals serves no purpose rather than attracting voters at election time and during partisan debates.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

The best costs more, chump. Sorry you can't afford it.

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.
