They’re also massive employers & key to anchoring population cores. If you think this keeps going past 2030, driving population shifts is also a decent strategy. That, combined with the need to urbanize for climate resilience means that we just can’t have the infrastructure for rural America we do

Carrots are building housing, schools & healthcare in blue states, helping people move here Stick is eliminating jobs & infrastructure in red areas. Especially bc urban packing always leads to wasted Dem votes as a geometry thing (I think you do GIS stuff, you’ve probably seen that)
