Why don't you give your employees free birth control so that they will not need so many abortions?

All women have the right to bodily autonomy and safe abortions.

That's right but why do you hire such irresponsible that they do not exercise their right to bodily autonomy and become impregnated by randos?

If you are horrified by Yougkin, why don't you move to DC? In fact, why did you move to Virginia in the first place?

This is easy to answer: Much more space. Much better schools. Much less crime. Many more family amenities and family-oriented neighborhoods. And knowing that while Youngkin may be disliked by a large percentage of voters, Virginia remains a politically pragmatic place and in all likelihood will vote a Democrat back into office in 2025.

So, a democratic controlled city has less space, worse schools, more crime, fewer amenities and family-oriented neighborhoods, but you want a Democrat to be elected governor of Virginia. T

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

The confederate capitol was literally Richmond, Virginia!

NFW I would ever consider living in VA.

Do you know what happened to General Lee's house?

It wasn't Robert E. Lee's house, it was his wife's house. It is now the ironically named, Arlington House, since Arlington is awash in liberals.

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.

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

Hahaha. Not in the least, honey, but you keep telling yourself that.

Okay, honey, but you keep telling yourself that MoCo is a little enclave in Maryland because the rest of the state is an economic and political mess. Baltimore has a high murder and crime rate, Hagerstown is full of loony Trump supporters, Western Maryland's economy is based on prisons and pot, the eastern shore has second rate beaches and agra business - that will go away as global warming continues. Yes -- compared to the rest of the state MoCo looks pretty darn good

Really? What inferiority complex? Because when I look at these threads I usually see VA posters let the data and facts around things like job growth speak for themselves, while many DC and especially MD posters sit around taking potshots with the maturity level and ignorance of a 10 year-old.

Seems like you might be projecting your own inferiority complex, PP.

What's the point of all these threads? So VA folks can feel good about themselves? Stick it to MoCo?
Inferiority complex

Again, I ask, why do VA people consistently compare *ONE* county in MD with the entire state of VA. That screams *insecure* to me. And I'm originally from out west.

They're not. They're mostly comparing Arlington/FFX/Alexandria and sometimes Loudoun/Prince William.

I mean do you want to include PG county in with Moco? I'm not sure it's a favorable comparison and it would make Maryland look even worse.

So, it's the whole NoVa Vs one county in MD.

Most people compare MoCo and Fairfax. Both have about the same population and geographic size. And back in the year 2000, they were economically equivalent. Since then their paths diverged dramatically.

Re-read this thread, and all the other threads comparing both -- it's always NoVa vs MoCo. VA people never include HoCo in the discussion even though HoCo is about equidistant to DC as Loudon is, but they always include Loudon.

Why is that? It's really bizarre.

It's because Loudoun is a major employment center and Howard is not.

Also because MoCo is the closest comparison to several VA counties, including Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun. Do MD folks really want to drag in PG into the debate? The comparison gap will only widen.

+1

And also because Howard has one foot in greater Washington and one foot in greater Baltimore, whereas Loudoun is fully part of greater D.C.
