Brookings we know = an institute that uses bogus, made-up election statistics to promote this graph. Jeremy’s X link rightfully describes that in red state areas neighbors are more likely to help out with making repairs, home and auto work, childcare (without indoctrination) = stuff that doesn’t make it into the GDP official statistics. So Jeremy is brighter than the Brookings Institute (link https://www.brookings.edu/). ____ Additional: 1) this will be great when he finds out how big Trump actually won in 2020 and he gets to update this X post and 2) just in case anybody never got to hear Dr. Stan Monteith’s (of Radio Liberty) present “the Foundations” investigation of the Reese Committee exposing Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller (= CFR sponsors), here’s a good one to save and archive for your research: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpR7Pm6U3Hw (Dr. Monteith passed in 2014, bio.: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/136611266/stanley-kimball-monteith ). This 27 min. interview exposes institutions like Brookings.

It could just mean that tech and financial services are over-priced while food is under-priced.
