If you mean who would persist? Just the real lefties. I think most would adapt. And that would be a good thing.

Joshua. No. If you aren’t in sales or looking for a job there is no value in it. Even then, their attempt to ‘social media-ize’ the platform has been a failure.

Yes but MA is adaptive because of a diversified economy in high value sectors (thank the universities). So it tends to recover from shocks better than other states. (which it has had plenty of).
I mean,. we all like to pick on MA, but the truth is that fiscally, the government has done a fair job – including it’s 1.4B kept in reserve for these sort of things.

FYI:
– states have sovereign immunity under the Eleventh Amendment, which limits federal courts’ ability to force states to pay certain debts unless the state consents.
– no federal bankruptcy court process for states, so courts cannot impose a structured reorganization plan.
– creditors may sue the state if disputes arise over prioritizing payments (e.g., bondholders vs. pension obligations)
– State defaults have been rare but not unprecedented. During the 19th century, several states defaulted on canal and railroad bonds (e.g., Arkansas in the 1830s). These were resolved through negotiations with creditors, often involving partial repayments or land grants.
– Modern examples are limited. Illinois came close to fiscal collapse in the 2010s due to pension underfunding and budget gridlock but avoided default through emergency borrowing and legislative compromises.
In other words – states have discretion over what they don’t pay when they can’t pay.
