Are not those all Red States? Guess Cons don’t like to work, but take a check from Uncle Sammy. “You can have my welfare check when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!”

They are all Southern states. You know that historically they were all Democratic-controlled and Kentucky still is. But since Republicans took over they have had greater immigration from Democratic Northern states and greater GDP growth. No they haven’t caught up yet.

Lots of low paying jobs in SC nobody really wants because they can not survive. Its easier to just be on Welfare. But lots of high paying government jobs already taken by do nothings. And moreso, lots of people transplanting to SC for better jobs anyway. The Volvo jobs will be taken by these types. Just like Boeing. Mostly people who are not even from South Carolina.
