My only “argument” is that more people are moving to red stateLows, and not just because of weather, based on the states people are moving to. The rest is immaterial.

Lower taxes are a hell of a drug. Also who gives a flying eff? Blue states more often than not continue to thrive on just about every important livability metric there is and the loss of people stupid enough to voluntarily move to AL or MS is no big loss.

Let's take a look at brain drain/loss - published Sep 2022.

States with the largest brain gain

1. Washington, D.C.: +302.7%
2. Colorado: +40.5%
3. New York: +38.8%
4. Washington: +34.9%
5. California: +24.6%
6. Illinois: +20%
7. Georgia: +14.5%
8. Texas: +10.4%
9. Minnesota: +7.8%
10. Massachusetts: +3.8%

States with the largest brain drain

42. Iowa: -34.2%
43. Delaware: -38.7%
44. Mississippi: -40.1%
45. Wyoming: -40.4%
46. Virginia: -41.8%
47. Kansas: -47.2%
48. Rhode Island: -48.9%
49. New Hampshire: -50.6%
50. West Virginia: -56.2%

The derp workforce exists to extract value from their reactive and spiteful stupidity. Previously, their extractors were CorporateCons, but in future we will outcompete them. We will control them and work them to death. They like it. They are animals.

They were not going to amount to anything, anyway. There are no artists or scientists coming from Jesusf-ckistan. We wasted fifty years trying to help them, and got nothing but hatred for it.

So... f-ck em.

They are proud of what they are. Just squeeze them, like their GOP overseers do. Might as well have their meager efforts go to something useful, instead of just another century of grifter fortunes.

Netflix is opening a restaurant...because nothing says "No we definitely are healthy and not at all a money laundering operation!!" like opening a restaurant, in LA, themed after your streaming service.

That’s never going to work. How do they expect to serve all 17 people jammed into that table for 2?

My goodness, I was merely correcting a false statement. DGF posted something equivalent to "No one moves to red states." I responded with "Yeah, they do." The rest is immaterial. I don't particularly care why, whether it's because of the better weather, lower taxes, or because those people like anti-human policies.
 
Better weather is my favorite excuse to move to the south. I always wonder, by what measure? The oppressive humidity? The ball sweating heat? The hurricanes? The winter storms that cause blackouts annually now?

none of these places are going to be insurable in a decade and might even be effectively uninhabitable within 25-30.
 
Not to mention amortization tables. Why can’t we just talk about the kitchen table issues?! That’s where the Republicans’ bread is buttered. They need to focus on how cutting taxes for the wealthy means more economic opportunities for white people.

He thinks the DOJ should have used Suzie's wisdom and said he learned his lesson.

The irony of climate change is the derps are pushing a terraforming project that is going to make the South into Central Africa and the Great Lakes into the Mediterranean. I personally can't wait for Cornell to be situated in a Tuscan hill town with 50-degree Januarys.

I love that the stock market is so detached from reality that a company announces it beat earnings estimates by 4% and the stock price responds by dropping 10%.

Can also depend on what they say about the upcoming quarter. I might not want to hold on to your stock if your next quarter is going to suck and the company looks like it will have less value then.

If they had just managed a way to mention Artificial Intelligence 30 times during the earnings call...

Happens all the time. Like French said, it's not that they're detached, it's that the people trading it read different parts than just the headlines.
