Hoosiers Leaving - When Will It Change?

 14 Reasons Why People in Indiana Are Packing Up and Leaving in 2025

I thought Covid had stopped the age-old Hoosier migrations. Like I heard as a kid, what Kurt Vonnegut wrote in Cat's Cradle, Indiana is a good place to be from. Probably because those with talents and intelligence were the ones leaving. They seem still to be the ones leaving. Things need to change. The only ones with any chance of doing this are the Democrats.

But this is a state that voted for Trump, who decides that it is better to starve the country rather than lead the country.  

In SNAP appeal, Trump administration says it faces more harm than people who can't buy food: ANALYSIS (ABC News)

In plain English, the Justice Department is telling the court that it would hurt the federal government more to comply with a judge's order requiring full food stamp payments than it would hurt millions of low-income Americans to potentially starve.

Let's simplify this further: the government is arguing that once the money is spent, it can't be unspent (and that would be horrible). But the hungry can't eat tomorrow (and that's not as bad). That is the contention.

In a 40-page filing to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, the administration insisted that being forced to spend money Congress has already appropriated is a graver injury than the hunger and disruption that would follow from withholding it...

A wide swath of Indiana's population relies on SNAP.

This state should not rely on the national party to represent it. The Indiana Democratic Party needs to step up.
