To reinforce your point, there is a perceptible difference in the efficiency and quality of various state bureaucracies. It’s noticeable even in such mundane tasks as going to the DMV. Getting my drivers license in CA was a massive pain; multiple people refused to recognize my marriage certificate as a proof of name change (I’m male, my wife had no issues), requiring multiple trips with the same paperwork to convince them that I was who I said I was. Even with an appointment I would wait half an hour, and it took three tries until I charmed someone enough to approve my paperwork. Idaho on the other hand I was at the counter within 30s and done within 10 minutes. They were incredibly organized and clear about what they expected and when.
