Awww... No jobs for you because you wanted to vote racism and somehow also botched fascism.

To be fair, the average worker in those red states was not going to see any money as a result of the projects. It's easy to say that they voted against their own best interests, but unless they work in construction or some relevant field, this only has indirect implications on them.

So far, more than $6 billion in projects and over 10,000 jobs have been wiped out in GOP districts alone.

Seems like 10,000 of them would have benefited from full time jobs.

But that article is all over the place. It reads like copy-paste a bunch of loosely related facts without actually organizing it. No AI could have written it that poorly
