    Do you mean ‘state level’ as in nation or like the individual states? No individual states are perfect, but a bunch of them are at least doing things you can be proud of at least in a discrete(as in disjointed from the whole) way if you can’t be proud of the whole state.

        Gotcha, that’s what I would have assumed, but felt like I wanted to ask. Can’t say I disagree with any of that, Federally the US is a mess and it’s why state differences can be so stark and go from places like California, a place that would have like the 5th largest economy in the world if it was it’s own country, to places like Missouri that has significant amounts of poverty that resembles developing world poverty.

          There is a ton of poverty/indigent/unhoused in CA too. When you have CEOs and venture capital hoovering up wealth, inequity is in stark relief.

          From CA to MO, the inequity might look different, but neither hides it. That’s why CA has had population decreases two of the three past year.
