there's no peaceful protest, the damage has already been done anything now doesn't really matter, I really want you to answer one question, why is three of the states that should be the most prosperous states in the country, New York, California, and we will just call Chicago, which is Illinois, the most sorriest states in the country, good tax paying people are leaving these states like rats, is the pressures to high on the idots that run these states or are they just corrupt, and oh yea they will just blame it on the federal government, there are other states as well, but how can you screw them up?
Well, Illinois has had decades of corrupt leadership. How many governors in jail? That one's not hard to figure out.
California and New York are far from the sorriest states in the country. Booming economies mean only the wealthy can afford to live there. A friend of mine bought a 3 bedroom house outside San Francisco for 1.3 million. 5-10x the price the same house would bring in most parts of the country. Californians who can't afford real estate are leaving, but immigrants from down south and wealthy people are still pouring in. Their net population is still growing.
New York is too crowded, too expensive, and the weather is crap. It's been an exporter of people for decades. The population has historically been propped up by immigration, but that's slowed down in recent years.
