Many people would never live in a state as backwards as VA. Youngkin? Absolutely not.

:lol: 
And yet, MD drivers clog up VA roadways because they come here every day for their JOBS.  Imagine that!  And learn to drive, btw.

Thankfully any can work from home now.  [/quote]

Well, you can't do service sector jobs from home -- Marylanders work in nursing homes, restaurants, day care centers, and other low skill low pay jobs.   And the fact that they have to cross a bridge to make $15 an hour is sad[/quote]
Is that why MD is the wealthiest state?[/quote]

The "wealthiest state" moniker is misleading at best. It's the small percentage of uber wealthy MD residents that props up statewide data and masks the systemic poverty and underemployment plaguing the state's urban and rural regions alike. If course, this is not unique to MD; it's found in VA and other states like CA, CT and MA perceived to be "wealthy."[/quote]
Even with 5 of the wealthiest counties, VA barely makes it to the top 10. If there is a state where wealthy "residents prop up statewide data and masks the systemic poverty and underemployment plaguing the state's urban and rural regions", it is Virginia. Without those 5 counties, VA would be way in the bottom.
