So in honor of Friday, I'm posting this video with Lewis Black, a response to Governor Perry's recent ad campaign dissing places like Illinois, California, and New York

Calendars (since it's pretty old data as was pointed out) and maps apparently confuse you
if you can find more recent comprehensive data, i'd be happy to see it. this just happens to be the best data set i could find.
Since Texas and New York are in the top states for inflow and outflow
yes, this is because they have large populations. the net % of population is the more useful metric, which is where math comes into play.
New York has quite a bit inflow from Southern states too, what's that interesting story tell?
and the net effect is negative for NY. so the story is that more people are fleeing the NY and heading to other states, mostly southern. Why?
So the rankings and percentages ....as much as you want to make a big deal about it, well, they're not a big deal.
I'm not making a big deal about it, I'm just asking, if NY is such a great place to be, why are so many people leaving, and why is it at the bottom of the net movers list?
And while you think you really know the answer for the migration, you really don't.
when did i claim to know the answer? i'm simply asking you why so many people are leaving NY if its such a great place to be.

And most of the New York outflow is to Florida, and NOT Texas according to your links. Virginia's outflow has a significant portion the Peoples Republic of California. So what's that story? So the rankings and percentages ....as much as you want to make a big deal about it, well, they're not a big deal. Not for a state like New York with 20 million people in it.
*Just a note for the mods: I replied to a comment before Joel could reformat it (italics for the entire quote when he meant it for just a bit of a quote from me) my apologies for not waiting. He in turn had to delete that, so it could be readable. So I did the same thing , and put my reply here. My original comment also included plagiarism of a non-community participant's thoughts on the subject, which I have removed at their request as well. I hope that clears everything up. If not, please message me in private. Thanks.
