You prob'ly missed the fact that Blue states subsidize red states. Woke means being aware, so it's obvious y'all are against it, It seems more like y'all are against American History that includes Black-Americans

Love your comment above. Are you suggesting that blue states are economically more successful than red states?
I'd rather be looking at more current news favoring red states. I believe your information is out of date and prior to the pandemic. The lockdowns in blue states had more negative impact on blue states than on red.

The good news is our economic recovery from the pandemic is finally underway. The bad news is that it’s going a lot slower in blue states than red states — thanks to foolish big-government policies.


This is the inescapable conclusion revealed by the latest jobs and unemployment data.

So maybe red states can send more revenue to the blue states for a change. Don't expect y'all will keep it up for long, though.

Here's a blue state story that is not a function of the pandemic, but a function of the war in Ukraine. You never know what new twist is going to impact our economy.

Russia's Ukraine invasion expected to have 'huge impact' Jersey Shore's economy​

From spiking oil and wheat prices to a potential shortage of neon gas needed for already-scarce semiconductors, the war in Ukraine is taking a toll on the global economy. And that includes the small beach towns that make up New Jersey’s shore region.
Popular destinations ranging from Seaside Heights, made famous by “The Jersey Shore,” to Wildwood rely on foreign workers during the crucial summer months to run the boardwalk stands and amusements that generate much of the shore area’s yearly revenue.

But a dearth of workers from Ukraine and Russia, who often come to the U.S. via the State Department’s J-1 visa summer work travel program, could keep businesses from opening during the summer season just as they attempt to recover from the pandemic.
“It is going to have a huge impact on us because the J-1 visa student program that we have in the Wildwoods is very active,” explained Tracey DeFault, executive director of The Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce.
“A lot of employees participate in that program and utilize the J-1 students coming over, and Ukraine is a very popular location that we would have students come from.”

2*150% = 3, 5*110%= 5.5

The point being that its easier for red state to recover quickly if they are starting off from a lower base, while blue states can recover more slowly and still end up ahead.

OK, you could be right. Hopefully by next year we will have achieved some degree of stability and have reliable facts to judge the economies of blue and red states.

We already have reliable facts.

Really? Already?
You must have received them from the highly credible NY Times or from Hillary Clinton's former campaign staff members who provided the country with dirt on Trump.

Brookings institution

Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America's economy. What does this mean for the nation's political-economic divide? | Brookings

This economic rift that persists in dividing the nation is a problem because it underscores the near-certainty of both continued clashes between the political parties and continued alienation and misunderstandings.

You're basing your opinions on a 16-month old report published right after an election and in the middle of a pandemic.
As interesting as those numbers are, just how credible are they given we are coming out of a pandemic and in the middle of a conflict in Eastern Europe which is upsetting the balance of power of all major nations?
Everything remains to be seen.
Interesting discussion, though.
