And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

I know this is hard for a lot of politicians and pundits to understand since so many of them are senior citizens, but we have three whole generations of American voters (X, Millennial, Z) who do not give a damn about Bill Clinton. He has no stans out here.
