Missouri is the poorest and least consequential state in America. They have nothing at all to offer the country and have no say in anything that happens outside of their own shitty, unimportant borders. Even if this passes, it won't matter. What companies are even HQd in Missouri?

Mississippi is the poorest state in America. Missouri is #21. Perhaps you've heard the phrase, "thank God for Mississippi?"

It'll be a cold day in hell when I recognize Missurah.

I got the impression it was businesses doing business with the state of Missouri not HQ'd there.
