the king of back-assward states
Florida Man would like a word with you.
Texas is 50th in the US for quality of life. How they managed to be worse than the other Gulf states is baffling. Abbott and Paxton have managed to turn Texas into a raging dumpster fire. If Texas actually left the US, it probably wouldn't even be able to get a membership in BRICS.
For those who were also curious about a source for the claim that “Texas is 50th in the US for quality of life”: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/13/10-states-worst-quality-of-life-america.html
Jeez, Texas losing to Mississippi is embarrassing considering that by any measure it’s a failed state. The Jackson water crisis alone should have them scrambling on par with Michigan post Flint.
To use an analogy, Mississippi will kick a puppy if it crosses its path Texas is outright looking for a puppy to kick.
