That’s right, the rich “men” up north. The doctors, lawyers, small business owners that employ the working class.

Got it.

The south now has a higher GDP than the north.

No, it has a larger GDP than the Northeast. That excludes so much of the Northern economy, and it includes places like Northern Virginia, the very place this guy is singing about. The Rich Men North of Richmond fuel the VA economy.

The south now has the largest GDP of any region. In fact, just 5 southern states alone outperform all other regions.

My condolences on the loss of your region's preeminent status.

And most are blue

Anyone with access to a blue/red state map can quickly see how laughable this is. There aren't enough blue states in the south for this to be possible. You need to stop lying to try to win arguments because it sounds ridiculous.

People are fools

You can’t hear 4000 people chant sucede and simply dismiss it. Unless you are a fool

People did sound the alarm. All of DC knew what was coming. And yet there was no preparation. You can see right here in the DCUM archives that we all knew it.

I was here for those threads and I also worked for Congress. Never in a million years did I expect J6 to be that violent and destructive. Never in a million years did I expect to hear the absolute batsh** insane conspiracies they were yelling over megaphones on the 5th. I had no respect for MAGA but I never thought they would aid in an insurrection. I completely underestimated their brainwashed devotion to TFG and Qanon.

Really? The preceeding 3 years were full of warnings about domestic terror, Trump being a Manchurian candidate that was a Russian plant, etc. So either you didn't believe your own rhetoric or you are mis-remembering. I knew that it would be awful and didn't go out that day.

Apparently they are taker states, because the red states still take more in taxes than they provide. Someone should look into that if the south now has a higher GDP, people need to be paying more in federal taxes from the south.

Fair enough, and I'm sure that shift is happening since the north is in atrophy mode while the south grows.

Actually we ship our atrophied there. Caring for our retirees is Florida's biggest industry.

Wait. Are you talking about this songwriter? Oliver Anthony?

Where in his song did he say anything about heavyset women?

It's because those are mostly the women who want to go out with him.

You are wrong.

As recently reported in Bloomberg, the combined GDP of Texas, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas (which I’ll refer to as the six-state South) surpassed the GDP of the Northeast region that includes Washington, D.C. and the 11 states from Maryland up to Maine. In 2005, the Northeast’s share of national GDP was 23.5%, while the six-state South’s was 21.8%. In 2022, the numbers flipped: The South’s share was 23.8% while the Northeast’s was 22.4%.

The five richest southern states by total (not per capita GDP) are Texas, Florida, Georgia, Virginia and North Carolina. Virginia and Georgia are purple at best. Most of the GDP is made in the blue parts of them.

If you knew so much why didn’t you do anything?

Apparently women on welfare are the real villains to him, because again, most men are not 5’3”

If he wasn’t just another blathering misogynist I’d say maybe he’s onto something but he’s seriously complaining about the food insecure in 2023 and that’s about as “punching down” as I can imagine. The people who are getting food stamps aren’t rich. They also use the drugs he’s worried about at lower rates than the rest of the American public. Hating the poor to feel better about yourself isn’t interesting to me.

Enough. About 10%.
