Populationwise it IS a 3rd world country. Which the Democrats love. Queen Pelosi eats ice cream, gets her hair done, while the peasants and the techno incels toil in the fields. And it will get worse over the next five years as corporations flee and small business drops, so the labor level will go downwards to shovel level. But due to sheer population numbers this shithole state will continue to have disproportionate representation and power in Congress.
