    I’m thinking that the US needs to go back to A/B testing. The “christians” in the midwest think social safety nets and “free handouts” should be illegal? They can get that. The countries who want them handouts, however, get them. And in 30 years we compare how’s everyone doing.

      The biggest problem with leaving it up to the states is that the party that is always harping on about states’ rights is a bunch of disingenuous liars who immediately start restricting states’ rights the second the state doesn’t do what they want.

        They refuse to fund disasters and social programmes in “blue” states while demanding it in theirs. Gloat about “voting to repeal Obama care” while taking credit for ACA (the same thing) in their home state (cause people like it)

        It feels like there’s basically no point in trying to make a deal with them
