California is keeping half the red states afloat, why would anyone want it to go red and become a dump?

Whenever anyone brings up these silly statistics, I propose to them

Just support a national divorce. Stop financially supporting these poor red "dumps". Keep your money. What's that? No? Yeah, that's what I thought. Sit your ass down.

Misleading statistics....

You should have stopped at the fourth paragraph...



The five states that received the most federal aid were:

California ($162.9 billion)
New York ($110.2 billion)
Texas ($105.8 billion)
Florida ($58.8 billion)
Pennsylvania ($57.1 billion)

Three BLUE and two RED states.



The article goes on to say... well, when based on population... BS.


You missed the part where california receives 162 billion but PAYS 470 billion, a net difference of 310 billion.

You think most blue states would mind dumping arizona, montana and kentucky?

1. How much they pay out doesn't matter.
2. I lived and worked in Cali (construction), for approx. 25 years.
3. Cali have TWO major problems... fire dues to drought and rain, like Noah's Ark.
4. They know they have these problems, but they disregard them when... building.

It rains in Cali for three months solid. Everything floods, houses slide off their foundations, etc. That's their winter.
In the summer, absolutely no rain. Everything dries out and burns.

This has been going on for 100's of years.

Then add to that... the earthquakes.


Do they learn? Nope.
And every year they grab the biggest piece of the Federal funds. Funds that could be used for real disasters elsewhere.

How much money elon musk has in stocks makes no difference, he makes 100k per year as the ceo of tesla so he can't even afford to feed his 12 kids.
This is how batshit insane you sound.

Its a NET GAIN of 300 BILLION DOLLARS.

It's a net LOSS, but that's a minor point.

I spent 25 years in Cali... watched how they did things.
Other than their great education system (if you're left leaning), they're pretty much doing everything... wrong.

Almost forgot. They have great roads in Cali (when they're not flooded or covered with landslide). No potholes. :-)

Dude the biggest tech giants on Earth are all based out of California the idea that collectively TRILLIONS amongst them and literally the "corridor to China" is the reason for their "big piggy bank".

No state has the access to liquid capital that California does.

How California is a "dump" when like I said they are home to trillion dollar entities like "Apple" and "Meta" and literally getting their ports slammed with cheap Chinese goods and somehow the state looks like shit?

You "trash talking" small red states who don't have the type of access California does to Asia/etc. is retarded. Hope you know that.

Stop comparing California to Kentucky....
