    State of Emergency. Because its either Zeus/Poseidon being mad at us (aka: Hurricanes), or it's martial law... and that means they're rolling in the tanks, it would be 100x worse than even the darkest day of the current US admin so far.

            Any of them that make up the southern border. They are almost unilaterally shitholes that would cut off their arm if it meant the "right" people suffer.

                There is no universal, objective answer. It depends who you are, your financial situation, your political views, etc.

                That said, the states that suck the most for the most people are conservative places with lots of rural poverty. Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, ...

                  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

                    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.

                      Too far down the east coast gets gross. What's your cutoff?

                      Personally, I'd say North Carolina.

                        Most astronauts only go about 250 miles up, the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati. That said, Neil Armstrong got a lot further away from Ohio.

                          "The East Coast" generally means the north east. "The South" is all the states in the south eastern corner of the country, including the coastal states down there. (Where the borderline is between them depends entirely on who you ask)

                            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

                                  Alaska. Remote, expensive, so cold your car's tires freeze with the flat spot they had while you were parked so you thump thump thump down the graveled roads until they stretch out, and to paraphrase @poccalyps, 'ice storms, earthquakes,... and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.'
