    Even conservative business owners want engineers from Berkeley and doctors from Harvard. It’s no coincidence that the strongest economies are all blue states with great universities. The only red states that can compete are petro-states. Conservatism is bad for the economy.

    I think that the teleportation thought experiment shouldn’t be reassuring to a conservative. Statistically, you’ll end up in rural Alaska, given its massive surface area. A lot of rural red areas have sky high unemployment and low wages. If you actually go to where the jobs are, getting a bad conservative education puts you at a disadvantage.

      yeah, if you adjusted the randomness to land you in the front door of a person you’re more likely to be on the doorstep of a liberal’s home than a conservative’s. liberals get less of a vote because land gets a vote in America
