Oh. Chicago. Theres a haven for fiscal responsibility there. Detroit. That dem stronghold is doing great. lol. What a douche.

Speak to the actual metrics and the stats I posted, not your feelings.
Can you do it? No. You don’t know the data, and in looking it up you might actually learn something.
Uggh. Education bad.

Nah. You can go ahead and win this argument. That’s a waste of time. You can’t just “look it up” mr. checkers. It’s far more complicated than anything you and I could hash out in this forum with google searches and memes you saw on Twitter. You win.

4.8 million Californians are on food stamps. That’s more than 10 percent of all people on assistance in the US. You really don’t have the ability to look up honest numbers.

4.8 is more than 10% of 59?
You and Thx are equally bad at math, it seems.
And you also do t seem to understand economics.
Dependency on Federal dollars has nothing to do with the number on welfare in a state, it has to do with how much the state puts in versus how much it gets back.
Of the 50 states, California is #44 least dependent due to the sheer volume of money they contribute to the federal coffers. New Jersey is the least dependent state of all.

These are facts. They care not a whit about how you feel.

Hahahaha. Funny guy. Comparing one number to another is far too complicated.
Like the science expert Thx, you are an economics expert and know better than the professionals.
Funny, funny stuff.

That’s not how it works. I was speaking to the BS you claim about Republican states collecting more welfare. The federal funding issue is too complicated to hash out in this way. It’s layers upon layers of state, county, city and private funding, stimulus, tax havens, federal grant recipients, etc. I’m not actually saying that democrats are better than republicans or vise versa. I’m just saying that you don’t know shit. It’s equally as corrupt in every state. The fact that you don’t know that tells me that you haven’t really studied anything deep enough to even have a sane conversation with you about it.

It’s actually quite simple. Money in versus money out.
The ratio is tilted for the bad with Republican states. 9 of the top ten most federally dependent states are Red. The numbers are irrefutable.
Your feelings mean nothing.

Aren't you also terrified of "boyfriend loophole" and "straw purchases"?

I'm not afraid of any of them.

so if i sell my gun to someone who passes a background check and he runs out and shoots up a grocery store 10 minutes later. . . are you the one that's going to march to congress and get them to reverse their stupid ineffective law?

No, because you did your due diligence. That's good enough for me. He wasn't a criminal when he bought it.

Math isn’t about beliefs or feelings. That is likely the reason you don’t understand it.

That's twice you have put my diick in your mouth. Listen, I haven't done any math on this site. I have commented on numbers others including you have posted. I can do math just fine.

Science expert? You are the one who keeps saying that. However, since you can't keep my profile name out of your post. When I worked using the knowledge from the degree I earned I was paid to give my "expert opinion" on various things I found. I promise you when it comes to the work I was getting paid to do you wouldn't have the first clue.

Look at the stats for each metric, and which states do the worst in them.
I’ll give you a little time saver: look at the red states first.

Any metric can be skewed however one wants it to...so the real question is how much time have you spent in different states across the US?...if you've just driven through most of them, then you're just repeating somebody's else's talking points...

Everybody is going to be on welfare. Robots are going to start taking over many jobs, so that’s why they want you to have UBI and plug yourself into the metaverse.

Not only that, but you can shift federal funding from the state to county and city governments. He also doesn’t understand how farm subsidies work in those “red states”, as if money is going to farmers so they can buy private jets. He’s not ready for the deep end of the pool yet. Looking into government funding is like peeling back a whole onion, not the simple 3 metric method he is spinning to try and fit his argument. It probably goes over well on social media where heads of cabbage nod in agreement as half witted liberals pretend 2nd grade level intellectualism gave them a eureka! moment on federal funding.
