That’s one of the things that differentiate facts from feelings/faiths/beliefs/opinions/etc. Facts are facts unless they are disproved. Thxone tried to counter the economic stats by claiming the numbers are “fiddled” with to change the political leanings of a state. Without proof of his claim, the political leanings remain as they are. This is not a discussion of the problem, it’s a discussion of the facts of the money flow, and the hypocrisy of the people who “oppose” it. If you want to discuss the problem and how it can be fixed, we can do that. Just don’t use it as a diversion from the bullshit  claims being made in contradiction of the facts. I’m not really sure where reparations fit into the discussion, even with your attempted analogy. You are saying a liberal will ruin reparations for black people in a Republican area due to not knowing numbers, which speaks nothing to the concept of Red states being the top of the “takers” while Republicans claim to be “anti-take”. Are you suggesting the economic data showing the money flow is created by a liberal who doesn’t understand the metrics, and no one has noticed the error/s?</blockquote>
