Why are Red State Citizens Poorer, Less Educated & Sicker than Blue State Citizens?


Hartmann Report u oRepublicans worship cheap labor u and having a steady
and reliable supply of cheap labor requires widespread povertya We must not confuse statistical probability with some transcendental and utterly compelling force. u Unspiek, Baron Bodissey One of the enduring mysteries
of America is why the citizens of Red states are generally poorer, less educated, and sicker than the citizens of Blue states. To that question, I step up as your hierophant with an answer to this deep mystery that you may not have previously considered. First, that generalization is broadly true:

u Blue states account for about 71 percent of AmericaAs GDP, whereas Red states only produce 29 percent of our income and wealth.
u The median family income in Blue states is $74,243. In Red states itAs $63,553. Individual states highlight the disparity: New JerseyAs median
income is $89,703, while MississippiAs is $49,111.
u Counties that voted for Biden in 2020 are more diverse, being 35 percent nonwhite compared to 16 percent nonwhite populations in counties that voted for Trump.
u Counties that voted for Biden in 2020 are better educated, with 36
percent of their population having some college education compared to
TrumpAs counties at 25 percent.
u Residents of Blue states live 2.2 years longer, on average, than
residents of Red states.

And, second, itAs undeniably true (and documented with each hotlink below) that Republican-controlled Red states, almost across the board, have higher rates of:

u Spousal abuse
u Obesity
u Smoking
u Teen pregnancy
u Sexually transmitted diseases
u Abortion (at least before Dobbs; now it would be oforced birthso)
u Bankruptcies and poverty
u Homicide and suicide
u Infant mortality
u Maternal mortality
u Forcible rape
u Robbery and aggravated assault
u Dropouts from high school
u Divorce
u Contaminated air and water
u Opiate addiction and deaths
u Unskilled workers
u Parasitic infections
u Income and wealth inequality
u Covid deaths and unvaccinated people
u Federal subsidies to states (oRed State Welfareo)
u People on welfare
u Child poverty
u Homelessness
u Spousal murder
u Unemployment
u Deaths from auto accidents
u People living on disability
u Gun deaths

But are all these things happening because Republicans simply hate their citizens and explicitly want high levels of poverty, ignorance, death, and disease? Turns out thereAs a much simpler answer. The problem for Red
states is that Republicans worship cheap labor, which drives up profits for the fat-cats who own American businesses u and having a steady and reliable supply of cheap labor requires widespread poverty, ignorance, death, and disease. That poverty, of course, brings along with it the long list of
social ills above, but Republicans are more than willing to tolerate
massive, desperate levels of human suffering to make sure thereAs a steady supply of cheap labor. In fact, they intentionally run their states that
way to produce those results.o

They aren't , that's all mainstream commie propaganda designed to
keep people in the large population centers . And it works , the sheeple
are all crowded into their little pens where they are more easily
controlled . Those of us with any sense got out of the urban nightmare .

What yourCOve got there isnrCOt an argument, itrCOs a stats smoothierCodump in a
little GDP, a sprinkle of health metrics, hit rCLblend,rCY and call it a theory. YourCOre lumping entire states together while the outcomes yourCOre bragging about are driven by a few dense, blue-run metros, then acting
like that proves something profound about rCLred states.rCY Of course GDP
looks bigger when you stack finance, tech, and media into a handful of
coastal hubs; of course the cost of living chews through those headline incomes; of course big-city crime dominates totals. None of that backs
your causal storyrCoit just shows you discovered aggregation and stopped thinking. Then you toss in lifestyle factors, demographics, and reporting differences like theyrCOre interchangeable proof, which is how you end up
with a collage instead of a model. Meanwhile, people and businesses keep
voting with their feet, leaving the places yourCOre praising for ones you
claim are rCLfailing.rCY If logic were a gym, yourCOd be curling empty bars and calling it a PR.

Your whole doomsday theory will be crushed soon. Maybe you and Greta can
work together on a different project. One with Crayons.
