Which ultimately helps the party that doesn't want people to think for themselves and only parrot the party line.
The same party that is gutting state schools, re-legalizing child labor laws.
Long term, and we are likely seeing it already, those states will underperform and be a strain on the country.
We really could use a way to reshuffle underperforming states.
But they’ll get all the jobs. All those $7/hour warehouse jobs
They almost become 3rd world states in a way
As a guy, the same thing would be important to me. I’d want a girlfriend who valued herself enough to make that choice. Also, what if I screwed up and got her pregnant? I’d want her to get whatever care she chose, and not be treated like a breed sow.
I also wouldn’t want her to die from an ectopic pregnancy
I wouldn’t want that, either. I’d want to be where care is easily available and obstetricians aren’t afraid to do their jobs.
As someone who used to be a teenager, I imagine that remaining 27% being mostly guys that haven’t thought that far ahead, and would have been much higher in my day
Congratulations to the zoomers for proof that you’re compassionate and can think beyond immediate needs and desires
My first thoughts from reading the headline was that it probably had to do with abortion and cannabis legalization.
Yep this is the logical consequence of turning your state into un-free shitholes ruled by petty authoritarians
I mean...duh? Basically the entire point of having different laws in different states is that people can choose what laws they want to live under. No one should be surprised that young people are considering that when choosing colleges.
Most people aren't exactly choosing... they're just too economical destitute to leave, because the society/government/capitalism has kept them poor. Totally possible for people to get trapped.
so if you are not able to afford move out of a state or just stuck where you are it is your fault?
what about the ones of us not allowed to vote was it our fault we have bad laws in our state too?
what about the ones of us who because of work or whatever have to cross state lines?
when do make politicians accountable or is always those people's fault for not voting right or living in the right state?
what about the ones of us who because of work or whatever have to cross state lines?
A while back I had to travel for work so read up on my employers benefits - apparently they’ll cover emergency airlift back to a developed country for medical emergencies
That's where you're supposed to have basic rights. But that hasn't been a thing in the US... Uhhh .... Ever. Even when SCOTUS didn't let cops kill people wantonly, it just never got that far in the legal system. So I guess there's at least been progress?
But yeah I'm not going to be mad that the people who can get out of the worst states do so. It doesn't mean we stop fighting for basic rights, it means the idea of 50 laboratories is working. For example, you don't hear much about the flat tax idea after Brownback obliterated the government in Kansas with it.
Don’t go to Bama. The football isn’t going to be good for awhile.
