Market crashing

The blue states generate about 59%, the red states 41%.

Big difference.

Your figure is just as much bullsh-t as trutledick's posted graphic.

So we are both talking from the same page, please answer the following:

-what states do you consider blue and red and what is/are the criteria for labeling them blue or red?

-what exactly do the states "generate"?

I won't hold my breath awaiting your answer.

Too bad...asphyxiation would suit you.

per google / AI:

I asked: "does the economic output of blue states exceed that of red states?"

The response:

"AI Overview
The total economic output (GDP) of blue states generally exceeds that of red states due to their larger populations and concentration of high-value industries, but red states have shown stronger recent growth and outperform in areas like lower costs, while blue states often have higher incomes and better long-term positioning despite facing higher expenses, leading to a complex economic picture with varying performance indicators
.
Total Economic Output & Income

Blue States Lead in Total GDP: Blue states, with about 54% of the U.S. population, produce roughly 59% of the national GDP.
Higher Incomes: Blue states typically have higher median household incomes, driven by urban, tech, and service-oriented economies.

Instead of taking the "easy way out" and relying on inaccurate "AI" generated information, I actually did the calculations.

Using YOUR image to define red and blue states and using actual state-by-state GDP, found HERE, the REAL figures are as follows:

RED states produce 51.2% of total GDP

BLUE states produce 48.8% of total GDP

So if by some chance your "AI" generated population information is correct, that the Blue states have about 54% of the U.S. population, and based upon my calculations, produced only 48.8% of GDP, it shows that the blue states contain a bunch of slackers. In other words, RED states produce more GDP per person than BLUE states.

Prove me wrong. I again will not be holding my breath.

This is the Market Crashing thread. Started by MrV to throw shade at Trump. Clearly blaming him for the woes 10 months ago. Since MrV started the thread, the market (I used NASDAQ) is only up 21% in those 10 months. I’m asking a moderator to change the thread title to Market Soaring.

Request declined, of course. MrV is not bothered about being wrong in the moment.

Markets are pretty resilient and have had a good year. Your USDollar has had a pretty shi77y YTD being down against all other G10 currencies by typically 10%

But we can all cherry pick stats in the interest of trolling each-other.

if Red states as such a paragon of fiscal responsibility and the economic powerhouses they claim to be, how come they are net receivers of Federal tax dollars, while Blue states are net payors of Federal tax dollars?

Because Red States representatives are better than blue state representatives. Both sides try and get as much for their states as possible, just Republicsns are better at it than Democrats. I think McConnell was considered the best. (I also remember Pelosi getting high marks for diverting funds her districts way.)

How much money will we be saving with the closing of outdated Washington FBI headquarters? (Cue the libertards bemoaning the janitor losing his job…)
