I see NY has made the list in stellar fashion. Dead last. Little Andy must be proud. He has worked so hard at being hostile to business and the people. Nice job! Being dead last ought to also help his aspirations for the White House.
My NJ is # 48; we share many of the same afflictions as neighboring NY (and are trying many of the same futile remedies, like open borders). Years ago I posted that this dynamic was why Dems were so focused on nationalizing their socialism; they need to create a situation where there is no financial incentive to flee the high-cost states (by saddling the low-cost states with their “share of the burden”).
