“If you yearn for equality in your immediate neighborhood, move to a highly equal neighborhood. (Indeed, you could even try to join a fully egalitarian commune). If you yearn for equality in your state, move to a highly equal state. If you yearn for equality in your country, move to a highly equal country. Last step: Notice that virtually zero people actually relocate based on inequality. People routinely relocate for higher income, cheaper housing, lower crime, and closeness to family. But have you ever heard anyone — even the most fanatical leftist — claim to be ‘moving for equality?’ Indeed, how many fanatical leftists are even aware that the most equal states in the USA are Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Alaska?” (03/24/25)
