More of a business reality from my PO. To me the middle of the USA is an empty space which needs a lot of economic subsidies to keep afloat but likes to hold a voting whip hand. That can only end in tears.ROFL and LOL!!!! I think that you better get your facts straight.. For starters, take a look at this map:
https://www.mercatus.org/statefiscalrankingsYou will see that California and New York rank among the worst economies in the US and are probably the ones that are going to need a lot of economic subsidies to stay afloat. Even Ohio is ranked at #11 while California comes in at 44 and New York comes in at 42. South Dakota and North Dakota are in the very healthy economic shape - coming in at #5 and #4 respectively. Where do you get your information from?
