Texas, Florida etc cannot handle it!!!


With prices rising on everything from groceries to rent amid a backdrop of economic uncertainty, many Americans are struggling to pay the bills.

They’re even turning to credit to pay for essentials. A recent LendingTree survey found that one-quarter (25%) of buy-now-pay-later users have used these loans to buy groceries.

The top 5 financially distressed states
Texas is the most financially distressed state in the country, followed by Florida, Louisiana, Nevada and South Carolina. The states that are best off? That honor goes to Hawaii, followed by Vermont, Alaska, Oregon and New Mexico.

Despite “drill baby drill” nonsense oil production which is vital in sustaining Texas economic growth is drastically down. Your president is selling EVs from the White House lawn.lol

Florida and Nevada’s economy are significantly impacted by a decrease of Canadian tourism.

The states bordering Canada are hurting ... some are using the airwaves to lure Canadians back.
Their property taxes are going up, owing to Canadians not visiting or purchasing products.
To lose 30% of 40 billion, such states are in trouble.

Did the puja business slow down?lol

The Canadian "boycott " is hurting red states too. Florida is a good example

Only 50% of American adults can read at an 8th grade level. 11% of American high school graduates can not read.


President Trump told reporters on the morning of 25 July, 2025, that he’s not particularly interested in achieving a deal with Canada, which is one of America's biggest trade partners, according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

The above are clueless about Canada...starting with DeSantis.shock

Canadians represent around 26% of America's tourists; out of the 77 million global visitors who came to the U.S. last year, 20 million were from Canada,a potential $20 billion in lost tourism revenue and 140,000 American jobs at risk, according to the U.S. Travel Association and data from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).

Still, some states are managing to hold onto their beloved neighbors to the north—like Maine, the state Canadians want as their 11th province, which has seemingly escaped their boycott. But one particular northern American state, whose Canadian visitors are dwindling in 2025, is practically begging for the return of its Canadian visitors: Minnesota.
