All these new Texans will need a 10-gallon hat, boots and a lasso.
It might be a good investment.

They are continuing their manufacturing facilities in California and are amping up production, so what's the end benefit?

Cheap real estate?
We have our corporate offices in Rhode Island a/k/a Middle of bloody nowhere.
Housing is also going to be a lot more affordable, which means salaries can be lower, etc. etc.

The problem is when the residents of these failed blue states move to a red state. The idiots bring their politics with them. Instead of learning a lesson, the fuck things up in the red state. This is happening in Nashville right now.

There's plenty of blue states that aren't failing. Obviously, California is nut-job central, but MA is famously/notoriously the most liberal state in the country, and is thriving. There's more to it than just politics.

I have found many blue areas to be very good places to live. Ann Arbor and Boston come to mind. Red areas also are great. I think places are made by the people, not the government.

I think people on both the left and right make a lot of assumptions about people based on how they vote, which are often completely off-base. I work with people from all over the place who frequently bear little resemblance to how they're stereotyped.

On the other hand, anybody who makes their politics obvious in the workplace can be safely assumed to conform to certain stereotypes.

You were quick to jump to the defense of "blue states"..... but I'll point out two things: 1. I didn't say "all" blue states. I said "these" blue states. The ones that are failing. It isn't the residents of MA who are moving to red states and fucking them up. I was referring to those states. 2. You say there are "plenty of blue states that aren't failing", then you offer up only one. Considering that there really aren't that many blue states to start with, and I can list 3 that have cities in them that are larger than the entire state of MA, it's safe to say that the majority of blue states are failing. Lastly, if it isnt about politics then you should be able to show an example of a blue state being flooded with people moving there to escape a red state. There aren't any.

I only offered up one State because it's where I live. We have the 3rd highest GDP per capita in the country, and I'd say thay most people agree it's a pretty nice place to live.
I'm really not interested in having a pissing match. We all know there are some red states which have some pretty dire problems.

Just Google 'highest crime rate by state', 'GDP per capita by state', 'Poverty rate by state'.
As I already said, I don't think the reasons are mainly political, or at least not down to party politics.
