After watching that video about Appalachia, I'm gonna say Texas is not the worst state.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
They are still moving here though turning Texas into California
Freaking Texas keeping all these people who should be eligible to vote from voting. LOL.harge57 said:

I am guessing that their dream of turning Texas blue must be slipping away since these ratings saw the light of day.
Next, we'll get an article on high inflation in Texaskag00 said:
Funny…:how exactly do the fastest growing states get on the "worst places to live" list? It's almost like it's a political hit job and not an objective article.
Scott Cohn is a raging, woke, ****stick. Everything he writes is biased to the extreme.

Good. Especially College Station. It totally sucks here, no need to visit.
Ditto, Tyler, Port A.
Yep, we're full, traffic sucks, people suck, weather sucks. Doing my part to keep the mis.... er information current.

Needs to be plastered everywhere that Texas is so hot, and it's only going to get worse. Need to echo it so far and wide that it drowns out other headlines that show it's summer everywhere else in the US, too.
Most of the states they trashed have some of the strongest economic growth rates in the US....by far. Just loser Yankees hatin' on the South.GeorgiAg said:
Florida at number 10 is hilarious too.
Funny how "no state income tax" didn't get filtered into the results
For the rest of the story. In particular look at the economic strength column then compare to the woke column- its the yankee participation trophy.

If it is so bad, then why is everyone crossing the southern border?
Quote:
To rank America's Top States for Business in 2023, CNBC scored all 50 states on 86 metrics in 10 broad categories of competitiveness. Each category is weighted based on how frequently states use them as a selling point in economic development marketing materials. That way, our study ranks the states based on the attributes they use to sell themselves.
So their survey is based on which state shovels the biggest load of bullcrap?

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.
Best States for work should be rated solely on: Pay and opportunity
However, this report or whatever it is continues to use random BS metrics to make Liberals feel better about losing citizens from their ****can States

Trump will fix it.
I/we pay enough in school/property taxes... cannot imagine how high taxes/fees would be to support this article author's wish list ... double, triple, more?
Sounds like a great advertisement for living in Texas!!!! Awesome!
Texas ranked worst state to live…for virtue signaling Marxists
When you drill down on their rankings, you get the top two most inclusive states as Vermont and Maine.
Vermont: 94% white
Maine: 90.5% white
Texas, ranked #50 in inclusiveness, 39.8% non-Hispanic white
Vermont: 94% white
Maine: 90.5% white

It always makes me laugh when the first comment destroys an articles narrative.
Anyone who chooses to ride a bicycle in the street is a threat to themselves, and others. If a vehicle strikes you accidentally, YOU are at fault; and the laws of physics supercede all else when you're in the path of a 2 ton killing machine. Know your place, stay off the road.
Up is down and down is up.Quote:
Strengths: No metrics in the top 25
Weaknesses: Reproductive Rights, Health, Voting Rights, Worker Protections, Inclusiveness
- Reproductive Rights = Abortion. Term doesn't equal reality.
- Health. Would have to dig into this and understand methodology but will assume it's bull**** like everything Democrats spout.
- Voting Rights. Gaslighting. It's never been easier to vote and anyone that finds it challenging is a dumbass that shouldn't be voting.
- Worker Protections = Unionized. Irrelevant. Red states are proven to perform economically than blue states which is why everyone is moving to here and Florida.
- Inclusiveness = Racism against whites. Term doesn't equal reality.

Wow, talk about an absolute s*** ranking system.
Resorting their list by the economy ranking:
1. Florida
2. Texas
3. North Carolina
4. Georgia
5. Tennessee

Houston is one of the "most diverse and inclusive" cities in the world.
I guess they didn't get the memo that people like to make money, go to good schools, and NOT have babies and children either killed or castrated.

"Health". Texas has literally the best cancer treatment facilities in the entire world

Good thing we're not too popular with those people.

The Lone Star State keeps hacking away at inclusiveness, with laws targeting the LGBTQ+ population, voting rights, and the nation's strictest abortion ban. Yes, there are enormous economic opportunities in Texas, and it is attracting people from far and wide. But this state also has some Texas-sized issues when it comes to life, health and inclusion. And it is one of the reasons that the state fell out of the overall top five for the first time in the 16-year history of CNBC's rankings.

That's the kind of advertising we need more of! Keep the libs the **** out.
I guess having more black Americans than any other state along with one of the highest black voter turnout in the entire country is somehow a bad thing for voter rights. Weird... I thought that was the aim for lib voter laws.

It's a dry heat, unless you're in East Texas.
We are obviously not working hard enough. Need to eliminate those other 53 pointsQuote:

As pointed out on other threads...we are getting dinged here because....and wait for it.....we are actually very diverse.
You just won't see that as the underlying cause for any health outcomes they might be looking at.
Too many circular references for them to compute if they thought about it beyond Democrat talking points.
