Depending on what you count as Republican I dont think the future for the country lies in Alabama and Mississippi and the Republican base states. Heres a link to the article from Bloomberg.

Of course not AL and MI. Those two states represent the American sweatshop economy and the idea that higher education is for libruls and east and west coast elitists. Why get an education if you can just hammer nails into plywood instead

Slave wage states don't know how to innovate... Only poach the north for jobs, with the lure of near slave wage labor of course. Well, you get what you pay for, which is why the unemployment rate in places like Florida and Alabama looks pretty ugly.

I dont mind living around the red state areas. Great living around people who think a chainsaw, a shotgun and a 30.06 is innovation. Meanwhile the kids are on Schip, School lunch subsidies, and Snap. Of course they arent on welfare and they vote Republican.

Does this surprise anyone? The most educated areas have been the most innovative for thousands of years. This study just agrees with something that has always been true.

Then go find a highly conservative source, which has found out that red states are most innovative or smartest.

"Innovative" is a subject word that is 100% meaningless.

It's like saying women in such and such a state are prettier.

Maybe to you, but not necessarily to me.
