As predicted. I expect a long-term economic malaise along the West coast. I search State legislation daily for crypto bills and the Blue State/Red State difference is striking. Blue bills are usually about restrictions, taxation and punishment, Red are proactive and constructive.

Blue States expect bailouts because they're empathy vampires, always ready to yank a starving brown baby out of their back pocket to guilt you out of more money. When they accuse me of lacking empathy, I nod my head in agreement and say,

"You sucked it all out of me".

And the blue herd slowly stampedes over the cliff.
