You are the one getting it wrong following all these metrics New York California like London are global centers where billionaires from all over the world come to live and invest their money. What happens between the Sheikhs, Trumps, Bloombergs, Bezos, Gates etc have little effect on the lifestyle of regular people on the street. What an average person cares about is to feed his family, and buy things he needs not that Mark Cuban has bought his 70th condo in Manhattan

All these California NYC still have the highest homeless people in the country, Someone will sleep on the streets of LA and be convincing himself that he is better than someone who has his small house in Alabama because he is opportune to see Jay Z drive his Ferrari every evening

In the UK where you live, High end London is for the ultra rich who are Arab Princes, African Politicians, and Billionaires from Europe like Abramovic, the regular UK folks living in London are probably suffering which is why a middle class UK man will rather move to Manchester and Birmingham

Someone living in a council flat with rats and roaches in London or probably homeless will think he is better than a colleague who owns his own house in Manchester because GDP says it. While the Man in Birmingham has a higher standard of living

Like I said you can tell all the lies on paper but human migration don't lie. Its like a Nigerian who is about to die for South African visa now bragging that Nigeria has more Forbes billionaire than Southy. Ask him how many Southies are desperate for Naija visa

It is in NYC that you will see couples cohabiting with other couples sharing 1 bathroom, People looking for roommates inside a train, A 32yr old who has been working for 7yrs but cannot afford rent and still live with parents.

Below is the homelessness stat yet one of these people too will think he is better than someone in Alabama or Utah because he has checked the GDP charts

If Taraba can provide similar earning potentials then yes its better. You cannot be in Ajegunle face me I face you where 30people queue to use the same bathroom everyday and be bragging about private jets belonging to Dangote and Otedola in Banana Island and laughing at someone in Taraba with a car and a house

benalvino3:


none, they are just professional victims. Ignore their stupidity

It does not matter. That's what matters to you. To a young person, that may be more enjoyable than living on a ranch in Idaho. No economist would rank you more prosperous for living on the ranch in Idaho. Assets are transferrable and have fixed value.

Drug addicts move to wealthier cities where residents can afford to fund their drug habits

We would also says criminals are more in the wealthiest cities since their targets have more disposable incomes. More! thugs in a state, more wealthier the state

That's what is taught in Economics.

Ibime:


Yet Texas or Alabama does not provide similar earning potential as California as shown by the median household income.

The only things more expensive in California are Property related costs. Your local Walmart is still selling everything the same price in both Cities. Any extra you spend on your house in California is just seen as growing your wealth (assets) in comparison to Texas.

A nigga with a house in Surulere will sell that house and go buy mansion in GRA in Taraba when he is ready. Who's laughing now?

Your argument is not recognised in any economic circles. It can be summarised by Etienne T Boy song - "I don taya, I don taya, I dey go back to my village"

When you were young and signle seeing JayZ and Beyonce concerts or seeing 5 Ferraris drive by you everyday might matter more. Right now I doubt you even know what JayZ last album is.

Ibime:


Stop right there. That's where Median Household income comes in

Bring those stats before you go any further.

These are standard economic indices used to measure these things. First thing any economist will look for. You are arguing with someone who minored in Economics, I didn't just pluck those indices from my ãrse.

I'm sure you know the difference between Median and mean which factors in for all your talk about billionaires

Homelessness is neither here nor there. People on drugs don't go to pig farms in Mississippi to beg for money, they go to New York where there is enough passing wealthy traffic to drop coins in their cup to feed their habit. They may even be from Mississippi but travel to New York where their market will move. Almajiri will not go to your village to beg, he will go to Lagos. It's a symptom of success.

Quality of life or quality of accommodation is a subjective view, not an economic argument. Even the Mayor of Manchester will slap you if you claim his people are doing economically better than Londoners.

I am here just South of Manchester in a detached house with a garden my kids and their friends can play football in does not make me more economically empowered than a guy in a £2m flat in London without a garden.

His flat still has more economic value than my house if he decides to take it to any market in the world. And the minute he decides to move to Manchester and sell his asset in London, he will be next door neighbours with footballers in a mansion. He is economically doing better than me, whichever way you argue it

Look who is talking about sanity. Two idiots that were born and raised under despotic leaders and probably will die under despotic leaders that have mortgaged their futures. Tell me one life experience you have in the country you are obsessed with while your Bubu is leading your country down into the cliff. Go fight for your Biafra fruitcake.

Ibime:
Raumdeuter, is not the summary of your argument that Taraba is better than Lagos?

Beyonce and Jay Z are not the reason Texas is in the bottom 10 for poverty rate as I showed you earlier.

These are stats from your census bureau which your economists use to determine these things, and they take into account your differences in cost of living. All your bottom states are red states. Some great policies you have there.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_poverty_rate

When Texas was learning to shoot guns and become cowboys, California was learning to shoot cowboy movies to profit off Texan culture. Today your Red States are indoctrinating their people to "bring down Big Tech" who form the bedrock of your stock markets and 401ks, while Blue States are making money off Big Tech

Blue States were even magnanimous to absorb 6 million impoverished black people fleeing segregation in the South in the mid 20th century during the great migration, and still maintain economic superiority despite all the extra mouths to provide for. Instead of you to ask what Red States are doing wrong, you are looking for name of Jay Z last album. Even the Beyonce fled Texas to New York in order to make it.

raumdeuter:


Red states doing wrong when people and companies are running to red states.

Maybe you should be asking Blue states why people are fleeing from there

Post the stats of states gaining population and gaining congressional seats

Pig's son, you can't stop using 'whale' since I called your ugly bittch wife that. Find another word and stop copying me. You are the lowest scum for always calling OLAADEGBU when you know he's not commenting these days. I guess that makes you feel better about your miserable life.

PrideofLincoln1:


Haven't heard from Musiwa in a long time. Hope he's ok and I hope the same for Anduka, Olaadegbu and others. Really miss them though.

OLAADEGBU:


Thanks DCatt for sticking up for me. God bless you real good.

OLAADEGBU:


Missed you too. How is Brandon?
