If they're fleeing, they must be being replaced by even better business owners since the GDP of the "blue" states continues to outperform the GDP of the red states.
I'm not saying liberal places are sane, but it can't just be coincidence that most of them are doing much better financially than red places. If we want maximum success we have to be unafraid to follow data wherever it leads. My personal hunch is that there are some regulations in blue places that are helping, the trick is figuring out which.

I had never seen this before - it is interesting. It could be simply because the coasts are leftists and it is the coast that is driving gdp.
I agree it’s worth looking at.
