? Worker protections don’t prevent the employer from relocating. The US has become more of an oligarchy than ever, that’s why the pigs at the top can move operations to states that are worse for their employees and get away with it, e.g. Tesla moving to Austin.

Correlation doesn’t imply causation: people move to red states for work because employers flock to red states, e.g. caterpillar moving from MI to TX for fewer worker protections. Given the choice, everyone would choose better worker protections and union rights and therefore blue states, but us working class folks don’t have the luxury of waiting around for the perfect job opportunity in a blue state.

Blue states always have the best consumer protections! We need more working class candidates to get all the establishment cronies out of office and protect Americans from exploitation from the oligarch class

Glad life is going better for you these days! I’m sure your kiddo is proud of you for moving on
