Which state in the US is the worst to live in? Why?

At this point I'm certain the guy is from Kentucky, and just proved his point like a boss.
Only logical explanation, really

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.
how do you afford to live there?

The federal land parts without any locals, you mean?
Albuquerque was ok but I don't think I stayed long enough to properly judge it.

Probably Mississippi, Oklahoma, or West Virginia
And with all the MAGA turds that moved to Florida and it’s terrible government it’s gotta be close to those top 3

No Alabama???

By the numbers, probably Mississippi. Lowest life expectancy, highest infant mortality rate, second highest poverty rate...being ranked 39th in education actually seems to be a bright spot for them.

Working?
min wage?

Ohio, it's a statistical fact.
More people from Ohio have become astronauts than any other state/territory in the world
Because when youre an Astronaut you can get as far away from Ohio as humanely possible. No one else has that kind of motivation to complete the rigorous training.
Even before astronauts were a thing. Ohio inspired two men to invent airplanes, because they had already traveled to the East Coast by then, and couldn't run across the ocean to get further from Ohio. They had to adapt and learn to fly
You don't understand. It's not too escape Ohio. It's because the void calls. It reminds one of home. The dark, unfeeling, lethal, soul crushing expanse of space reminds one of the home void. We want to bridge between the two. Bring together the V̵̮̈́ ̴̜͑ȍ̷̜ ̴͜͝i̶̲̿ ̴͉̊d̵̺͆

I'll defend Alabama. I travel through several times a year on the back highways and there's only one truly shit town we pass. York is a wasteland. Here's the main drag, and most of those units are empty.
All the other rural towns seem pretty nice. Businesses aren't shuttered, roads are nice everywhere, people take pride. Contrast that with Mississippi. You could teleport me to a gas station and I could tell if it's in MS or AL according to how much trash is blowing around.

Ah so you're white

Florida used to be black on Erin's trans safety map. It was literally its own "DO NOT GO HERE" category. Unfortunately the only thing that has changed is that it's no longer alone.
wrote last edited by [email protected]It's so funny (not in a good way) to see this change - I grew up going to drag shows, there is still so much gay culture here, and it's such a a diverse place, no matter what axis you spin it on. We know trans people (one of my kids among them, but older people too) and there isn't much discrimination "on the ground" here, my trans kid got a job the same place my other kids did, and only HR keeps the paperwork with physical sex as gender, in practice they are treated as they choose. And that's at a nominally religious place. In school too, the teachers and kids did not care, just took it in stride. The outright hostility in Tallahassee is insane, but it doesn't translate to hostility in the city here. Or not yet at least.
Make Florida Freaky Again. That will be my platform if ever I run for governor.
The stinky water is because they let you use reclaimed water for watering a lawn, it's hella efficient and good for the plants. Gardens don't need drinking water. It does smell bad but is a good thing.

Wyoming. Corrupt, cold, ugly if you're not rich, and full of morons who do things like thank coal workers for their service.
Who deserves the thank you more- coal workers or police officers?

My friend who claims they're a communist has been to Texas twice and loves it. Beats me why.
The poverty makes them feel like they're in a communist society

Absolutely Mississippi. My wife has family in Meridian, MS and I shudder thinking about being stuck there my whole life.

Most people's politics (left-oriented as well - your "scientific rigor" is actually rather sparse and inadequately supported [just look at how often we actually fund follow-up studies]) are virtue signaling. People tend to work backward from what the in-group already assumes. No big deal - it's just collective problem solving staged in a cannibalistic system. So, to answer your question, seemingly equal measure, though the weights change with social context.

Ohio was pretty bad, so much so I moved back to Texas...

Black folks are nice to us, don't look at us with the suspicion I saw 20 years back. Times change.
Know where I experienced the most shocking racism? Manhattan and Chicago. Segregated down to the city block. And NYC wasn't merely black/white/Hispanic, it was like, Haitians this block, Puerto Ricans that block, and don't cross the fucking street if that ain't your hood. Find me a white man in South Chicago, dare ya. Solid blue cities. Imagine that.
Know where I've seen the most racial integration? Here in the South. Couldn't get my head around why there were so many old white folks running around with little black kids. Ex-wife: "I dunno Shalafi. Maybe they're grandparents?" No, I had never seen so many interracial couples. Hell, of my wife's friends, there's only one Filipino husband, rest are white guys. No one even blinks. (Except in Mississippi. Shit's gone worse since Trump's second term.)
Our street is an exact racial representation of the area. 70% white, 30% black, squeeze an extra 1% in there for my Asian wife. Most places in this area are like that. There's no black or white or Hispanic side of town. Asians are fairly concentrated in two areas though. Whatever.
tl;dr: Not going to hear how racist we all are when the whole damned country is racist. Not going to ignore all the progress we've made this century.

Oh yeah, sorry that was a bad joke. Those films couldn't be more different!

Phew thought we'd have to settle our dispute by vogue-ing!
