    Northern and Western CA, 80% of geographic Oregon and 70% of geographic WA would most likely want nothing to do with being part of a New China.
    That definitely true of NY but approximately 40% of CT and NJ voted for Trump.

    But they own the state when you look at the county maps. A republican in the NE is not really a Republican. Look at Collins, Charlie Baker... and the Republicans that hold office there. Eastern Long Island may be the only casualty.
    NJ is on our side of the Hudson.

    We had to increase $2 an hour ($15 to $17) in 2019 to get employees. We were still pulling from the bottom f the barrel. Ex-cons, people that lasted 3 months because they could not show up every day...

    We used to call 2% unemployment = full employment in the 1980s. In 2019, 4% unemployment was the new full employment. Government has destroyed the work ethic by taking away need. paying the extra $2 just got them in the door but the quality or employee was often not worth paying the minimum wage.
    Now they get $16.50 to stay at home for 59 weeks with no job seeking requirement. Guess what they do.

    Your middle graph is interesting. The other two: Dramatic swings? And only during Trump?

    How much of wage increases among the lowest-paid is due not to Trump, but to large cities and states upping the minimum wage?

    Yes, the middle graph shows the effects of Covid19, not Trump.

    Damatic is subjective.

    Bubble visible.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.
