That’s th argument occurring here.

Well people would probably be leaving MS if they could find roads that led out of their wastelands. Gotta love the infrastructure spending in DEEP RED territories.

Which Democrat state house and senate members from Mississippi voted for Republicans?

Oh, Haley Barbour was the lone member of the Mississippi house and also senate?

You should really learn how government works.

If I was forced to choose between CA and MS, I'd choose MS every time. I'd buy land in the woods and be happy. If I had to choose between making more money in CA and somewhat less in MS, I'd still choose MS. I don't think I could be happy in CA.

That's just me. These rankings are irrelevant because all that matters is personal taste. The things that I despise about liberal places are precisely why liberals love them. And vice versa.

Such ignorance. Where are the Mississippi wastelands?

You want wastelands how about the deserts in California which is most of the eastern half of the state.

Try Trona, CA:

https://www.wired.com/2016/03/ewan-t...nia-rock-salt/

Today, vacant and abandoned buildings litter Trona, some boarded up, others with broken windows, still others in some stage of collapse, giving the impression that Trona is halfway to becoming a ghost town.
“What are you going to do? A lot of the houses are basically abandoned. They’re delinquent on taxes, but the county won’t take over — they don’t want to be responsible for them,” Fairchild said. “So they’re basically abandoned, like no owner. What are you going to do?

Or how about the Salton Sea:

Toxic Dust From a Dying California Lake

On October 28, the smog-control agency for Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, issued an odor advisory for the intense rotten-egg stench that was permeating the air of southern California’s Coachella Valley. The source: The state’s largest lake, the 350-square-mile Salton Sea, was burping up hydrogen sulfide, a gas created by the decaying organic matter trapped beneath the water. It was the Salton Sea’s fifth odor advisory for October alone; depending on winds, the hydrogen sulfide can be smelled as far as 130 miles away in Los Angeles.

If money were not a concern, I’d go CA. The surf and slopes.
