Going to the Drive-By Truckers show tonight in #Cville. They’re performing their “Southern Rock Opera” album. Bought tickets before the election and had originally hoped it might be a celebratory experience. But between the election and the last two weeks, I’m hoping for a political rally.

"Over the past five decades, 12 states in the Southeast including Texas collectively added 33 more congressional seats, roughly the same number that the Northeast and Midwest each lost over the same period."

Burying the lede, this article makes no attempt to identify any political drivers behind the pandemic migration, but the usual corporate tax breaks are obvious, as are anti-vax/woke sensibilities of some of the people highlighted.
