You can't eat money. Those states you call "grifters" provide the food you eat, and the resources you need.

The dollar value of those things isn't high - financial and other services are "expensive", but ultimately useless, they just move money in a circle, but don't do anything to keep people alive and well.

The states that have high GDP typically have healthy food production so I don't really understand your argument.

Really? In an argument about money versus food you're giving me a map denominated in dollars?

Mississippi doesn’t produce your food unless you eat a lot of yams and catfish. They might make your car.
