I am not demeaning manual labor, but far more people can dig ditches or perform repetitive actions on an assembly line than can design bridges or cars. Supply and demand is a real thing. If I could make the same salary as a Walmart greeter as I do in my current position, I wouldn’t hesitate to darn the blue vest, provided it wasn’t in a crazy blue state/city.
Anyone who works should make a decent wage. Period. This isn't complicated. The more poor people you create, the more likely you will have socialism in a generation.
Not many according to statistics. Migration to blue states is pretty low compared to red states. You can’t even attract the non-skilled people to move up there and make more money. Who the heck wants to move to a high tax environment where you have to watch your back everywhere you go while having to deal with terrible traffic, horrible weather and rude people?
Actually, the population of nearly all states increased between the 2010 and 2020 census, and I halfway suspect the 2020 Census undercounted people because like everything else Trump did, he fucked it up.
So it would be better to live next to a bunch of intolerant inbred idiots? I think not.
