what's your dollar really worth ?

I reside in Illinois, but make a significantly higher income than I would if were to reside in Mississippi so hopefully it all works out in the end.

 

I'm

Seeing something! Some kind of pattern, like these two maps are related!

I've got it! The states with the lowest wages value their dollars more because most people work the floor of a Walmart, trying to figure out which way to push a broom is forwards.

 

What else is new

 

That's all for now. Tune in tomorrow for something else.

 

They know florida needs to be in the blue

 

So one needs to find a way to work for people in NY and take their money and live on the cheap in MS?

 

I think you ought to overly a political map on that also. I think you will see the heavy democratic states are on the low end also..

So what would be the most likely factor.

 

Touché.

I can't say I'm much a fan of the people out here. I think the only thing I like here is the weather and the farms.

Thanks to the tech revolution, all my friends have been getting priced out. Rent is up, food costs more, fuel is ridiculous, laws make no sense. Everyone is moving East or North, and North won't be much better for long.

The only reason I don't feel it much is because I have dirt cheap rent, on a less than legal property, in a nice area of the countryside, and I work for a farm.

What I pay wouldn't even get me a studio in the ghettos that are popping up everywhere in California. That's where everyone without a college degree seems to be moving though.
