I find it a bit weird to have a criteria of "quality of the internet" but not a single point related to discriminations.
So you can be state controlled by the KKK, as long as you have good internet it's a good place to be in?
Which state on the map qualifies as good Internet and controlled by the KKK from your perspective?
My point was that discriminations (example, if a state was governed by the KKK) are not measured as part of being a good place to live in, which I find ridiculous.
Also if you ask me, all the states qualify considering the political state of the USA.
Ok so you can’t have it both ways.
If all the states qualify by your metric then there is no reason using it as a metric. They all tick the box.
I think you might be able to look at the map and find how their metrics seem to correlate with what you might expect for the places that have a higher rate of discrimination, however
It is a health ranking sponsored by a megacorp. Take it fwiw, but I personally wouldnt put too much stock in it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Health_Rankings
I mean, it has quality of schools, renewable energy use, those are not more health-related than discrimination.
Again, it is funded by a corporation. Not just any corporation, either. If you want to take issue with it, be my guest, but I didnt write it and as I alluded to, I think it is already suspect because of UnitedHealth's involvement.
horseshit data that intentionally tries to lay the blame on the certain voters for all the problems in the US
not our fellow citizens faults that the school media they learn on, the food consume, the pollution that sickens them, etcetera is all owned by the same groups that owns the voting machines
whole United States is sick with the rot and no amount of data or maps or whatever that helps to divide the country will fix that
not because people voted wrong and are no best and worst states just all the United States with people in them that need to wake up and stand up
the country has republican and democrat lawmakers and an elite group that handles them and the handlers own all the means of production including the elections that is the issue
Is it laying blame though? I agree with your points, but I took it more as, "No wonder people in those areas vote for populists like Trump - they've been failed utterly by the system, so why wouldn't they be up for tearing it all down?"
You're right, but I would bet there is a strong correlation with how people vote to how shitty their living environment is, but as you outlined with other facts, it's just a piece of the problem.
Exactly. Everything you see, hear, read, and experience is through a distorted lens controlled by rich fuckwads who have spent the last several decades strategically acquiring anything that may expose them and hold them to account
