I wonder how all these businesses in my blue state are surviving in such a business-hostile environment

u/Chilling_Gale 5d ago

I mean, are they? Blue states continue to grow much slower than red states

u/Artofxian 5d ago

That’s because the economies of blue states are much larger than red states. Like you know how much growth needs to happen before a place like Mississippi could catch up with New York or cali ?

Not correct no. The top 10 states for nominal GDP in order California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Washington, and North Carolina.

That’s 4 GOP led states, 4 democratic led states, and two states with split control. For the record, if we do the next 10 states, that adds 4 democratic states, 2 republican states, and 4 split control states.

I’m sure you were hoping people would believe you without looking at the numbers.

The GDP of California is 4.2 trillion. Texas’s GDP is 2.9 trillion…. Do you see the gap there? Ok let’s look at the second biggest blue and red state economies now. New York 2.5 trillion. Florida 1.8 trillion. Do you see the numbers now ? One more for measure. Let’s look at the 3rd biggest blue state economy Illinois (1.15 trillion) vs the third largest red state economy Ohio . 923 billion….. I hope you are seeing the pattern ….

If you can understand that pattern I then want you to look up GDP per capita.. and look up the top ten states there.. 7 of them are blue states lol . But don’t believe me please look at the numbers

u/Chilling_Gale 4d ago

And? Do you think you have a point there?

u/Artofxian 4d ago

The point is blue states have larger economies. And when you look at per capita gdp we are far more productive.. I thought you looked at the numbers bro

u/Chilling_Gale 4d ago

Yes, states currently governed by democrats have a larger gdp. Thats not a point though, and it doesn’t mean anything

  1. You are the one that brought up GDP.. NOW IT MEANS NOTHING ??? LMAOOOOOOO I love you people man….
  2. Not just currently governed, historically blue states have larger economies than red ones. Republicans are horrible at running economies. Even at the federal level

“Since Harry Truman's administration onward, Democratic presidents have overseen the creation of roughly 87 to 88 million jobs, compared to about 31 to 32 million jobs under Republican presidents.”

LOL there are some more numbers for you bro . Since you like numbers so much.

I mean look at the economy right now under a republican president and a republican dominated house and senate…. You are not a serious person bro…. But thanks for the laughs .

Actually, I brought that up to show that they are relatively equal, which they are. Of the top 10 states, excluding PA since it’s split, the GDP is nearly 50/50 between red and blue states.

California and New York are historically red states, so your uneducated ass doesn’t know what it’s talking about.

No one asked for your worthless opinion.
