So much emotion. No quantitative facts on any level. You ignore everything I state which is a fact.

Pennsylvania has a larger GDP.

Pennsylvania has two major cities. Virginia has none.

Pennsylvania has the third best business school in the world.

Fact. Pennsylvania economic growth exceeds Virginia. Largely because Virginia has no major city within its boundary!

Fact. Pennsylvania has two four seasons. TWO. And one of them is the tallest hotel in all of North America. Fact Virginia does not even have a skyscraper. FACT


Fact. Virginia has no professional sports team and is the largest state in the USA without one. Pennsylvania has over 7. There is no comparison. This is all FACT.


Pennsylvania and Virginia GDP per capita is only 1k of one another.

Rural Virginia is more poor than rural Pennsylvania. FACT

These are all facts and I can keep going. Facts

Also the history of Richmond is disturbing. I am not sure how anyone could be proud of that.

Ok I was just kidding before but do you really have reading comprehension issues?

This is the last time I'm going to say this. My issue is not about which state actually wins according to the criteria. PA has several advantages over VA, which you have pointed out and I have never denied. My issue in this thread has always been the convoluted logic employed to discredit VA's advantages and the disingenuousness folks have engaged in when it came to what VA posters were actually saying or not saying in arguing for or defending their state.

No please stop with the immature deflections as I have never taken an actual side with respect to the thread topic.

I like VA and PA but seeing that PA doesn't have a senate bill 657 promoting gender fraud gives PA the edge. Things like that can affect a state's QOL (call me whatever you want but there is no benefit to thinking like Malik Yoba).

The bill allows for transgender individuals to have their birth certificate to reflect their change of sex. How is this a quality of life issue for someone who isn't transgender?

Because conservatives like to play the victim card whenever possible because they're literally never a victim and view other people being treated as a human as an attack on their superiority complex.

For what it's worth, I can drive 80 MPH on a Pennsylvania Interstate without getting my license suspended.

Virginia looks to the future while Pennsylvania desperately clings to the past.

Well that's a step in the right direction at least, but speed enforcement in general is still lax in Pennsylvania compared to Virginia.
