    I used to work at a call center for a nation wide company.

    The answer is absolutely Kentucky. There is really no comparison.

      I'll never forgive them for allowing Sarah Palin out of containment.

      ah, the good old days.

      as a young Canadian at the time, that was one of the introductory events to the world of politics, for me

      to think that back then that was the craziest shit coming out of the US, and compare that to today

        Nobody saying Florida? Swamps, gators, slowly sinking into the ocean, home to way too many grumpy old people and crazy drug addicts (see Florida man) and Trumps shitty golf club. Also some of the absolute biggest peices of shit for politicians- DeSantis, Rick Scott, Gaetz ect

            Anytime related to the "South". West Coast is chill. East Coast is chill.

              Leave New Mexico off that list. While not perfect, they sure have been knocking it out of the park recently. It's stunningly beautiful too

              Arizona is also beautiful. Unfortunately, it also has Pheonix.

                I think all states probably have ok cities in them somewhere, and that it depends on your preferences but I would never live in Alaska.

                And all states have downsides too.
                Mississippi and Oklahoma have the worst schools. Florida and Texas have crazy politicians. Wyoming doesn't want you there. Colorado has angry ranchers and pretentious yuppies. California has Bakersfield.

                You're really stretching there with your last few examples.

                Wyoming your biggest issue will just be a lack of any real culture or metropolitan amenities, plus the winters. But it is beautiful and the people are as friendly as anywhere else.

                Colorado's problem tends to be hcol even outside the cities, and traffic to get to the mountains. But our government is shockingly functional, and our problems derive from tons of people moving here because it is a great place to live.

                Cali's problem is definitely high prices and traffic. And kinda shocked you pegged CO as the place to find pretentious yuppies.

                But honestly, I could be happy living in any of these places. Mississipi... would take some work.

                  Lived in Watertown when I was a kid. My first Halloween there we had to trick or treat in 1 foot of snow. Other than the cold it wasn't so bad, insanely beautiful landscapes however I did notice a lot of mild racism to Indians.

                    Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi are all shit holes honestly same goes for Houston TX as well. I'm not saying my state of Oklahoma is any better. I lived in California for 4 years and kill to go back however it's just too expensive

                      Florida. Heat, humidity, stench of water from the sprinkler systems, lousy coffee from the crappy drinking water, most jobs literally don't allow you to work OT. Many only hire 32 hour people. Terrible drivers, especially all the Qtip bitches that should've stopped driving 20 years ago. Redneck Nation. Massive POS politics.

                      Fuck Florida.

                                California? You need to tell me your dealer, because I'd like to have an ounce of what you're smoking. At least we give our citizens healthcare.
