Just be aware that the southern states offer many products and technologies that are affordable and still made in the U.S.A.

Manufacturing is an increasingly smaller piece of the American economy. In Minnesota, we have a well-diversfied economy, having significant players in nearly every sector.

We enjoy a good standard of living

That's a matter of opinion. I love a cold winter and despise humid weather, so I'd have a miserable life down there. I like living somewhere that's cosmopolitan with a lot of cultural offerings, which I've not found in the South, but also not overcrowded and elitist like on the coasts.

and a high quality housing compared to many other areas of the U.S.

I find in most of the country, certainly not just the South, the cities have largely decayed and the suburbs are full of God-awful new development. There are some exceptions, but then in most of those cities you have to be loaded to live there. Minneapolis and St. Paul are still very livable cities that don't require you to be filthy rich. Thank goodness, too, because we have our share of that ugly sprawl.

You make it sound as if you are still holding a grudge against the South for a war that was fought almost 150 years ago. Get over it.

I'm not the one still flying the flag of the losers.

Actually, you are proving my very point. You have obviously not been here in recent years to witness the boom and have no idea what you are talking about. Stay up north, please.

"I'm not the one still flying the flag of the losers."

Again, you prove that you know nothing about the subject.
