@emptywheel not every single location in them. -
@ddayen@emptywheel Also worth noting: moving is pretty damned expensive. -
@LornestoToledo@emptywheel one thing Republicans have actually endorsed to a degree is transition assistance. -
@ddayen@emptywheel Govt sponsoring moving cost so poor people can move to higher paying blue states? I'll believe that... Well, never. -
@ddayen@emptywheel I believe it even less if it means red states would have to raise min wage to compete w/ blue states.

@emptywheel@ddayen And if they all move there, they'll maybe over-supply the demand? -
@squirbin@emptywheel Point isn't for everyone to move to high-wage states. Just enough that low-wage states need to raise wages to compete. -
