Look at San Francisco, Detroit, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

That should give you a good preview!

As long as people are allowed to be individuals and have freedom of thought, there will never be utopia...and no society should be compared against or held to that standard. People have differing opinions, abilities, appearance,etc. All of those things make for disparities among individuals and it will always be that way.

Unless the State has complete control, which I do not advocate for with either party.

They are already in charge of pretty much every metro area, and those areas generate 85% of America's economic output.

If Republicans were in total control, it would look like rural Alabama.

Tighter gun control, more taxes, less debt for Americans

That sounds wonderful. Sign me up!!!

Is that a Black area or a White area? Because Alabama has plenty of rural Black areas that are solidly Democrat. Looks to me like a Black area.

Hahaha re. #1 What, 8 years was not enough to cleanup Obamacare.

#2 California is the one in need of infrastructure, given its green initiative has left the state with millions of acres burnt crisp, Green jobs? Not enough electricity in green to support any kind of economy.

#3 Too funny. Job one id the reinstate of the SALT deduction to continue masking how poorly Dem led enclaves are run with their current extraordinary taxes only on the rich.

#4 Yes, give into Chinese, give the Chinese more U.S. $ to continue to race ahead of the U.S. Oh yeah, we get more cheap goods that the jobless Americans can no long pay for [unless fluent in Mandarin].

We have a Czar in New York State named Cuomo.
