The highest poverty rate is in...California:

I'm talking about companies moving to the south. Do you have that answer. And Mississippi is the poorest state.

1. It's been shown to you that California is the poorest state:

"Poverty in California
"Why one of America’s richest states is also its poorest"
https://www.economist.com/united-sta...so-its-poorest

2. Why would companies have much of a reason to move to a state like MS in the middle of the Deep South with few services that they're accustomed to elsewhere?

That's not what the LA Times or the Economist magazine say. They both say California is the poorest state.

Exactly. So why don't they to entice them to bring jobs to their state.

Because to do so would squander resources when anybody knows it would be mostly futile. Why is this a mystery to you?

And states with those kinds of pop. sizes, GDPs, and geographic placements do enough where they can with new manufacturing, etc. And WorldComs come and go.

yes and that is mostly Democrat voters.

There's more to the south than that one state.

If you look at nice areas of Miss, like suburbs north of Jackson, big Republican areas.

Somebody has some good jobs there.

Babylon Bee, a conservative satire website, has this headline:

Poll Finds Most People Would Rather Be Annihilated By Giant Tidal Wave Than Continue To Be Lectured By Climate Change Activists

It has a picture of a guy with his arms spread wide as a tidal wave crashes down and a pic of Greta next to it. It tickled me.

Most people would think that companies like Airbus and Toyota are fairly significant. A great deal (if not all) of the foreign automakers now building in this country have located in the south. I can't think of any that have moved to New York, Maryland, New Jersey or Massachusetts. Or California for that matter.

Out of curiosity, where in MS are you from? My brother moved to the Columbus area in the 70s, and now is just across the border in Alabama.
