What would it take to organize an invasion of the red states? Such a tiny percentage of the population of California could swing the needle in low-population red states and deliver us the senate and probably the white house in perpetuity. Could Bill Gates or some other philanthropist set us up some company towns?
@Uniquitous Sioux Falls, Sioux City, Omaha, for starters. That would tilt South Dakota Iowa and Nebraska in ways that would make pubs unhappy. As it is there's problems keeping twenty-somethings from leaving. And as side effect getting rid of antediluvians like Noem and Reynolds and their philosophical brethren.
Yes, the I 29 corridor is going to have to embrace that urban population is the only way that part of the country is not going to shrink even more.
@GreenPaladin we've gotta get those twenty-somethings happy. The boom-town starter kit needs to include fast internet, good food, bike & walking paths, and some entertainment venues.
