NEW ENGLAND
New England is roughly the size of the island of Great Britain. The population about 14.85 million while the the UK was estimated to be 59.64 million. So the UK has about four times the population of New England.
The irish at 20%, are the dominant population, followed by italians at 13% french at 13%, Hispanic 12.6%, Asian 14%, Black at 6.5%, and the English founding stock (my and mine) only about 12% of the population (Most anglos moved on when land prices rose due to population density. The irish, italians, french and hispanic are cathoic. This should tell you a lot about new england’s voting patterns.
The entire region has about 1.3T in GDP. Boston has about 1/3 of the total population. Technology fled Boston in the 80s for the west coast and MA reformed a bit. That didn’t happen in CT, so every business than can leave CT has. Not just because of taxes and govt, but talented employees don’t want to live in CT.
NYC survives as the money printing afctoro of DC, more than anything else. CT’s Fairfield county (35% of CT GDP) is a bedroom community next to NYC (finance), and NYC and Boston(Biotech, Pharma) carry the economy of the entire region, and cover the (high) taxes because Framingham, Worchester, Springfield, hartford, new britain, meriden, north haven, new haven, milford(Yale), bridgeport, norwich and new london are rust belt immigrant sh–tholes full of minority poverty, crime, decay, and left wing governments.
Meanwhile rural new england lovely and so are the people -when you can find them. Maine is one of poorest states – down there with mississipi, and the north still speak french. Vermonters are mostly french and there are only 600K of them. New Hampsire is quite charming really, and some of us escape there. Especially for the Skiiing. 😉
Despite the condition of these States, for some reason new englanders have a snobbish moral self rightousness about them that is totally undeserved. It’s the most false firtue signaling area of the country. It’s a depressing overpriced lower working class semi-slum that everyone who can escape does.
In other words it’s just like the rest of the rust belt. 😉
