Any red states thinking they’d be better off on their own should take a long look at figures like these. They’re all most highly subsidized states that stand to lose the most without the backing of the Federal government.

Literally had to change their name from Kentucky Fried Chicken as Kentucky trademarked it and wanted royalties. So they lost the only thing that is a positive about their state.
