Couple of questions?
What facts make you say rural hospitals (if you can find one) charge less?
What hyperinflation of commodores? Oil and gas prices are way down.
Housing is cheaper; but other prices (cars, restaurants, groceries) are similar.
So red states have a lower fertility rate?
And “slightly lower” household income is an understatement.
Cost per inpatient day- hospitals
$1,433 Wyoming
$1,543 South Dakota
$1,599 Iowa
$3,532 California
You are going to be terribly disappointed and frustrated when that hyperinflation never arrives.
What is the increased home prices, energy, commodity prices? Isn't that inflation, if not what is it.
They can just keep printing fiat money with a new huge stimulus multiple times per year and all that consumption and commodity usage doesn't increase prices?
Here's a USA Today article from August with the list of states with the highest rates of economic growth. Utah and Idaho, two well-known left-wing hot spots, top the list. If you peruse the top 20, you will see that it is comprised mostly of red and some purple states. Most interesting, though, is to look at the blue states in the top 20, like Minnesota, Oregon, Vermont, Washington. These are mostly homogeneous states. In contrast, we see New York, California, Illinois and some more heterogeneous blue states right near the bottom.
It's fascinating to observe lefties deriding and mocking lesser-educated, poorer white Americans, all while steadfastly refusing to deride and mock lesser-educated, poorer black Americans. "Ignorance" among the former is their fault, while "ignorance" in the latter is not. While the former are a drag on the nation, the latter are not, and we will not tell the ignorant among the latter to find new jobs and adapt as their jobs evaporate, and we certainly will not lecture the latter about many of their backward beliefs about God and all things LGBT the way that we do to the former.
This is ironic because republicans look at anything in a simpleton way when it benefits them more than anybody.
That's a new one. How exactly do Republicans do this?
Republicans don't all think a like, so how can you lump them all together? If you haven't noticed yet, Republicans are not hive minded like democrats are. Look at just about any bill in congress and you'll routinely see Republicans voting independently from the way their political party leaders want them to. Meanwhile the Democrats vote almost exclusively as one block, one mind.
As cities grow, then tend to vote more Liberal. There is no secret behind it. More educated, more open, diverse, etc this breeds liberals.
Isolation, small communities, less diversity and less openness, this breeds Conservatives.
Cities grow and become more “educated “ and richer, become more elitist and snobby and no longer care about those in need, homelessness or unemployment, kind of a let them eat cake attitude, lives in big McMansions, drive bmws and Benz, while down the road poorer residents live in low income and struggling to survive, can’t afford to send their children to nicer schools with more money as have to settle for less quality schools. Instead of making it easier for small neighborhood businesses to survive, taxes must be raised and make it harder for them to grow and prosper and harder to hire, higher crime, the police are to busy patrolling the wealthy area. Sounds like Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc... yeah blue elitist.
If this country did divide into two countries, Red and Blue, the blue country would either kill itself economically, or physically, or starve to death.
Easy. It’s safer. Riots don’t last for more than 5 seconds.
Liberals run everything into the ground for the most part, plus rip off your money.
Luckily at least here most of the transplants check that bs at the door.
As for home prices my house has appreciated $100,000 in 4 years.
We have seriously thought about moving to your area. But your weather gives us pause. Our state is great too but I am tired of snow.
