Of course, you wouldn't want people actually listening to the news now, christ they might even become informed, that won't do at all.

They're bitching at us now, but it's for the best in the end if it makes us stop trading so much with their monstrous regime.

The thread title is plain wrong. California is richer than Texas, GDP per capita.

I see the OP has made the claim that there's more income inequality in CA than in TX. Maybe so, but that's not the same thing.

The poverty rate in Texas is worse than that in California, so don't just put "poverty" instead of "poorer"

It's up to you how you unfuck that thread title, OP, but please do so.

Oh please don't give him the opportunity to make sweeping generalisations about other countries, this is about whether California is poorer than Texas for what it's worth so better to stay on that topic at least - keep the sweeping generalisations to just the two states.

So here are some details.

Leftist Ideology despite obviously looking out for the common man or aiming for equality in their ideas, have produced MASSIVE income inequality in China, Russia


It's been a long time since Russia was leftist. When the Soviets lost power the country had good income equality (though note, there wasn't such good equality across the Soviet Union, it's just Russia we're talking about). The first capitalist President, Boris Yeltsin, sold huge state enterprises to his mates and began the descent to what is nowdays terrible inequality.

and even the American State of California.

Here's a map showing the fastest growing States when it comes to Income Inequality.

Leftist Democratic California is number 2 in income inequality growth while Rightwing Republican Texas has among the slowest growing income inequality.


Well that's terrible, bad California, but let's hear some more about the supposed subject.

Change in equality is one thing. But it's not the same thing as inequality. With all that you've given us in the OP, there is not one word about the actual current level of inequality in either state.

Your thread title and OP are so bad, I really should have just laughed and moved on. Pretty soon I probably will, but an answer from you first would no doubt ease my way.

It's an old meme..

"There are No Girls on the Internet" is a tongue-in-cheek adage which implies that there are no female entities actually participating in online activities, especially when it comes to anonymous exchanges in chatrooms and discussion forums. The outdated myth also jests that the Internet is essentially a "sausage fest" dominated and defined by male internet users and a smaller population of male trolls or griefers who pose as women in pursuit of lulz.

If you meet a character named "FabulousHotBabe," she is almost certainly a he in real life."
