I stopped reading after the whiney leftist statement about the federal government abdicating leadership during covid. States pretty much did what a Constitutionalist would expect.. their own thing.
Unfortunately the working class and conservative states are on the hook to bail out pensions and fund CA,and nyc and every other dem catastrophe.
You stopped reading far too soon. Yes, I caught that sentence as well, but the author goes on to tell a story that is impactful and makes a case we would agree with.
