Worst States To Live & Work In. All 10 Are Republican States
Worst States To Live & Work In. All 10 Are Republican States
Quality of life is a major factor in where Americans choose to work, live and make major purchases including homes. These states are the nation's worst.
This could be another huge talking point for Democrats, but once again, this great opportunity to ding Republican governance is going to be missed since Democrats are so utterly incompetent to sell their successes and attack their opponents.
The inflation rate has fallen down to 3%, which is one of the lowest in the industrialized world right now. Have there been Democrats all over the news selling that success? No, of course not. Gotta keep those wins well hidden, dontchaknow!
62None of the states listed are surprises nor the fact they are all Republican lead states either.
35What a shocking revelation.
14Where is WV? We are always on lists like this
12So reading through this is a bit surprising. I hadn't been paying as much attention to some of these state based issues. It looks like the argument of the article is that despite strong historic economic numbers some of the recent steps taken by states have created challenges for businesses.
It seems that the knock down effect of reproductive health laws in a restriction in the number of practicing doctors per state. So it is not exactly the law that is the issue, but the fact that the ratio of doctors to patients is going in an adverse direction. The article is arguing that the extent is enough to create challenges for citizens in Texas. That seems like a sound premise, basically its harder to get and see a doctor because fewer doctors are moving to Texas compared to the growing population.
It seems that the states that were less of economic powerhouses to begin with could have negative effects with less strict laws since they didn't start from as strong a position.
The rest of it seems to be based on how accessible child care and health insurance are. If you want families and not just labor those resources can greatly reduce the need for high wages.
I'd briefly seen the big fails, like the Texas power grid and the bans on investment funds taking climate change into account. There was also that thing where Florida decide it was time to kill Disney.
Not moving the office buildings to Florida was a MUCH bigger deal to Disney that it appeared. The cost of 1-2 billion was going to be offset by MUCH lower cost of living for employees,(less pay as well) favorable taxes an the sale of super valuable real estate in California. It was very likely structured to be a net positive for the company. So I think that this is basically the core of the article. Even what should be on paper good deals are now in questions because of the state policies.
8I moved from MO to IL and never looked back
8But they think they are the best and that's what makes them so special...
6Whether you think this has a political bias or not, no matter what whose list you look up, they all basically say the same thing.
6Not a single state in that list was a surprise.
4I left my last job at the same time as a couple other people. We all got remote work, but I moved up to Seattle and they moved to Dallas. It's crazy how different our two places are.
2Good, stay the fuck out! Stay in your own shit holes.
0"... and up next: the 7 signs you're getting older". Pfff, whatever dude.

Can anyone explain why this says the exact opposite?
-7I would love to move to Texas. I think this person has a very very bias opinion.
-7This title is misleading. Inclusiveness was the predominant negative. I'm sorry but that's not going to be everyone's biggest concern. Example, of new parents are looking for the best place to raise their kids they are (and should) prioritize childcare. Now double check that list, what states had childcare as a pro...
-20I posted one comment, got 20 replies from people in less than half an hour. I never even said anything wrong or insulting. This is how you people act both in person and online. It’s sad. I’m lucky to have friends in real life, both liberals and republicans in my group of friends, and all of us can discuss without being mad at each other over some beers.
You people are not the people who will put change in the world. Do better. Community blocked.
-27It’s democrats ranking states based off their policies, so of course the Republican states will all be at the bottom lol.
Headline should be: “Democrats say Republican states are worst states to live in”.
We should be posting political articles that aren’t clickbait echo chamber propaganda. Don’t let this become Reddits /r/politics, which was REALLY /r/democrats
-70I was really hoping this wouldn’t be Reddit /r/politics but it seems like the infestation has begun. Might as well change the community name to Democrats and not politics if it’s going to be the same as Reddit. Otherwise let’s keep “politics” an actual balance of actual discussion and not an echo chamber.
If there’s a problem with my comment to you, you’re the problem. Nothing I said was offensive or bad.
