Where do you live Old Gringo? Sounds pretty bad because you are always so miserable sounding. I invite you to come here to NC, a very red state these days, so that you can cheer up some.
We, after all are proud of America & Americans.
I am happy all these great jobs are coming to Kentucky.
I'm not hiding my location. It's super easy to spot.

LAWL. Texas is a big state. Was just trying to understand your hatred of so many Americans. In this case the state of Kentucky. Why can't you be happy that those $70,000 jobs are coming to that area instead of calling them stupid coal miners?
So, come up with something showing CA has "the highest poverty rate."
There's a difference in having an income below the national poverty rate in a state where utility bills can consume a quarter of your income, and a state where they don't. Capish? Where a one bedroom averages 1,300 dollars and where a one bedroom averages 500 dollars. Not too hard to understand. That the uber wealthy are predominantly Democrat - that's why the discrepancy between red and blue states. The red state poor people haven't been bought yet - that's all.
Most of Bouchard's past ventures grew through mergers and acquisitions – stitching together existing companies to combine multiple revenue streams to make a single number that might be impressive in size, but isn't always the best measure of long-term success. Some of Bouchard's rapid-fire deals left his companies mired in debt and swimming in red ink, no matter how much revenue they made. In some instances, companies foundered after he left. Take Real Industry, his most recent venture before Braidy. In 2014, he boasted the company could one day emulate Warren Buffett's phenomenal success as a "mini, mini, mini-Berkshire Hathaway." By mid-2016, Bouchard was out as CEO and chairman of the board. By late 2017, Real Industry – an international aluminum recycling business – had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing "unsustainable debt service obligations" that largely originated during Bouchard's tenure. https://www.courier-journal.com/stor...der/948025001/

In late April, Gov. Matt Bevin announced that Braidy Industries – a new venture led by metals industry veteran Craig Bouchard – had chosen Greenup County, outside of Ashland, to build what’s been called the most sophisticated aluminum mill in the world. A week later, Bevin’s administration used $15 million in borrowed money to buy stock in the company. Taxpayers now own at least 20 percent of Braidy Industries, making Kentucky either the biggest or second-biggest investor in the company alongside Bouchard, according to state documents released Thursday. The Bevin administration denied WDRB’s requests under the Kentucky Open Records Act to see the financial projections state officials reviewed when they decided to buy into the company. In releasing documents related to its May 4 purchase of the stock, the state unit that made the deal concealed key information, such as the names and addresses of the other investors in Braidy Industries and the amounts they put into the company. Braidy Industries was incorporated in March. The state’s 3 million shares represent about 15 percent of the stock Braidy Industries is authorized to issue, but the redactions make it impossible to tell how many shares have actually been issued.

Doesn't sound like it had much to do with Kentucky being a right to work state...
