Yeah I live in Misery(Missouri )and trust me it f**** sucks.
Any bets that the top 10 worst educated states are the exact same top 10 most miserable States? Anyone?

Mississippi has the highest murder rate. Why isn't Mississippi on the list? Being murdered sounds pretty bad.

He's proud of being from Louisiana? Why? Cancer ally? It being about as corrupt a state government as there is? The fact that it's pretty much a filthier, dirtier most carcinogenic version of the 1940s? And you can say similar things about the rest of them. I recently said that Louisiana is one of those states that are so corrupt that it would be justified to return it to territorial status. The Dakotas and Wyoming and Oklahoma are others on that list.

These people celebrate their wretched living conditions and their poverty? Has that ever been studied from a psychological perspective?

this honestly isnt even a capitalist society though. the politicians give all our money to the corporations in the form of tax breaks or incentives so they can operate with greater margins. its corporate communism, so we dont get any of the profit.

Well…. I live in NW Arkansas. I will say that this area is kind of in a bubble. It is not like the rest of the state at all. Fayetteville is one of the few democratic cities in the entire place. Plus, the Ozarks are beautiful. If you go across this state, the quality of life drops like a fucking stone. It's flat wet, poor as shit. I mean fuck your sister poor, and they seem to have no idea.

One of the best things about Tennessee is how poor the education is – because the more ignorant the people are – the more likely they are to think it's great – so they keep electing the same shit politicians to represent them.

Call ME crazy, but I think there could well be a direct correlation between allowing corporations to pollute your air, water, and food and thinking that that's a good thing. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.

All the red states are bad
It’s just the worst ones have the most corrupt politicians through a super majority of Republicans
If your state is in the bottom 10, the people you elected put you there

Heck, I don't wanna drive thru red states. Let alone live there. Especially when you get to the smaller townships. Speed limits go from 55 to 20. And the 20 speed limit sign is covered up in wild lettuce and ivy so you don't even know it's there.

I lived in Naples FL all my life back in the 80s. Just moved out a couple years ago to NC. I would never moved back to Naples, it's a S hole for "rich" people who exploit the working people.
If I didn't have kids I would of moved to another country. Screw America.

Worse than being conservative red states, they're bible bashing conservative red states! 🤔😂
The US is getting close to being the worst country to live in. Pretty soon, it'll be the North Korea of the West

I was born in Indians. Horrible infrastructure. The roads growing up always had potholes, health insurance was a joke, labour laws (I live in Canada now) were “right to work” meaning “right to get fired” I knew people who worked jobs that were considered part time because it wasn’t 40 hours a week so they worked 39 hours. Another friend worked a call centre job and conveniently mass fired just weeks before they were to get a raise. I got fired from my sales job because my boss kept stealing my commissions. Indianapolis is the city of Mcjobs. Ever since they lost the steel industry it’s been s low wage hell hole. They finally fixed fast time and slow time I guess.

Yeah, most of the red states have higher rates of welfare per 100,000 residents than California does. Many of the red states take in more money than they put into the federal budget. California, Texas and New York put in the highest amounts into the federal budget that actually stays there….
The reason is welfare in those states, paying farmers to not grow (farming subsidies) and the weather destroying massive amounts of crap.
California's taxes are a real problem though and the fuel companies price gouge. The gas pump prices aren't do to state taxes like they say, it's about .50 a gallon, it's just outright pricegouging at the pump in CA.
That being said, red states suck. Just visit Arizona like I do regularly and the roads are full of holes etc. Meth addicts everywhere etc. Arizona won't even fix the main through highways like 40 or 10 that interstate trucks use.

The Red states have been under GoP control for decades and their states are last in everything but the voters of those states have been brainwashed into hating liberals and Dems. Phycologists will study this era in USA for years.

We been knew the worst states are Red states and they have the most on government assistance including the state that takes a lot of the government money, they’re the most in teen pregnancy too. And unfortunately there also the Bible Belt states, which isn’t a coincidence 😂😂😂
