It's only the states that actually contribute to the GDP in a meaningful way and give a shit about their people.

Is your state among them? Yeah - you know.

Nope it sure isn't, and my state will be one that suffers the most from the lack of assistance.

My state surprised me during covid.

It's not surprising me now...

They're the best States. Nobody sues like these States. They've got the best lawyers, and it's going to be a great case. A case like you would not believe. In fact I think the courts should just give up right now and let these States win the case. Everyone's saying the judge should just decide the case, let them win, and walk away. That's how good these States are.
