Keep sending me stories, links, comments. I will get to them but I might not get to them tonight.
But, wow, there is so much going on. Hard to keep up.

Numbers Don't Lie
Minnesota is #40.
Oregon is #44.
Montana is #38.
Iowa is #25.
I've been waiting for this list.
It's the annual ALEC-Laffer State Economic Outlook Rankings, 2019.
Story at this link: https://www.foxbusiness.com/money/utah-idaho-north-dakota-nevada-indiana-best-economic-outlook.
#5: Indiana
#4: Nevada
#3: North Dakota
#2: Huge shout-out to Idaho -- they've had a decade of tough times
and, #1 ... Utah.
Texas doesn't make the top five. The Lone Star state is #15. Okay. But much worse than I would have guessed.
The five states (sic) with the worst economic outlook:
- Hawaii
- New Jersey
- California
- Illinois
- Vermont
- New York
I'm not surprised to see New York/New Jersey on the list, but I am very, very surprised to see California on the list. That's scary. California's economy is perhaps the fifth largest economy in the world.
One wonders what Vermont is doing [wrong] to make that list?
