the poorest rely the most on services and on things like clean water. they can’t just jet off to a better area.
Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them.
locuester@lemmy.zip 2 months agoI agree with all this. Not sure it’s relevant.
CA charges almost no tax on its poorest, and the poorest make $0 , so they see no benefit. Same in TX.

So you’re just going to be willingly obtuse. Got it.

Not being willingly obtuse, this is a good faith discussion. It feels very obtuse on the other end tbh, and I’m genuinely trying to have an intelligent discussion.
“Other taxes and bullshit” I agree 100% that I’m not taking into account. Thats where I’m looking for some sources of specific info. Not just unsourced opinions.

You are being willingly obtuse when I have provided the study abstract that contains the methodology, the data behind it, and 30+ citations and sources.
Don’t come talking about ‘good faith discussion’ and asking for sources when you clearly didn’t even bother to read the information provided.

I did not see the link for some reason, just the quote. Once again, I’m not being willingly obtuse. Thank you for the link and I will read it.
It’s not helpful to the discussion to repeatedly tell people how they feel, unless you just want to dismiss the conversation. And in such a case, no reply at all would be a better option imo.
