Can you tell the producers from the consumers by the chart?
I noticed on the “blue” New England states the only one that approaches freedom is New Hampshire, the home of the Free State project, and they have “packing materials”.
First of all as a NH resident, don’t believe the”Live Free or Die” mantra. That’s been moot for years as Massholes have moved up here and brought their socialism with them.
I deliver packages and I can tell you people sell a lot of things on EBay and Etsy ( not yet regulated by taxes) and order a lot of packaging materials.
That’s a good observation. Thanks.
