Liberal here. I don't celebrate when people go bankrupt regardless of if they are republican or democrat.

Probably because no one thinks they will be and any allegation will be met by data showing that is just a false accusation based on not liking the Governor rather than based on facts.

Thank you, I believe to each his own as well. I truly enjoyed the open plains and many of the people I have met over the years, there.
Gluten? Goodness, truly miniscule worries.
The men I have worked with and careers I have worked in are some of the fittest in the world. Unhealthy? No, carbohydrates and sugars with large levels of protein are necessary to put out at a certain level, bread included.

The outcome in Kansas was never really in question -- it was headed for the toilet from the get-go. Not worthy of much comment. They willingly did it to themselves. It was hoped that it would be a learning experience for crack-pot Republicans but we will have to wait and see.

Why don't liberals make 1000 posts about Kansas heading for bankruptcy?
Thread fail. Fake news.
"Cities, Counties, Townships, and other municipalities in the State can declare bankruptcy, but the State itself can't. For example, while Detroit can declare bankruptcy, Michigan cannot.".........
https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlike...nkrupt_or_not/


It doesn't bother me at all that Liberals think they are as smart as me. What gets my goat is that they think I am as dumb as they are.

The likelihood of Kansas recovering is low and its future is bleak. Why? It has no thriving cities that have a built environment attractive to professionals and single people. It put all its eggs in one basket, Johnson County in the Kansas City metro area. It is a place so extremely suburban and beige that it has a road grid that ranges from 47th street in the north to 215th street in the south. It is the one county (out of 105) that retains a high percentage of educated and middle class residents. Its three other sizable cities are an utter joke with few redeeming qualities, (Kansas City, KS, Wichita, and Topeka). True, the college towns of Lawrence and Manhattan are pleasant, but that is to be expected for the most part. The remainder of the state has an extreme brain drain, losing college graduates, middle aged career professionals, and families. The demographic reality is highly unbalanced across much of the state with a high percentage of elderly as well as an above average percentage of younger residents, a sizable percentage of those of lower socioeconomic standing unfortunately. It is hard to market Kansas outside of the Kansas City metro area when so many other choices exist in other areas of the country.

Part of the reason you will not see much talk of Kansas is that Kansas made a huge mistake following a libertarian ideal....

But then they recognized the mistake, admitted failure, and changed their course. Bankruptcy is unlikely; recovery is very likely. That does not make a very good story.

Illinois is in the opposite boat. They will always say there have been no mistakes made, will not admit failure, and will not change course. They still believe that tax and spend is the way out of their current situation and will only double down on more taxation and even greater spending. Then blame the people that try to stop them from taxing and spending.
That does make a good story.
