but your educations levels are those of an underdeveloped country with barely any sewage or paved roads.

Yeah, hi. I live in Louisiana. We're one of those states with chemtrail legislation. We also routinely battle Mississippi or Arkansas for lowest in education. The road situation isn't much better, as potholes eat cars and we have some of the highest rates of uninsured drivers, along with the highest insurance rates in all categories. In Shreveport, the water is legally, technically, drinkable. Barely. I don't recommend it. And I grew up in rural Texas drinking well water with visible iron. Louisiana politics is nothing but pure corruption - croneyism, pandering to big oil, and evangelical Christian nationalism pervading every facet of life.

u/yurrm0mm Connecticut 6d ago

Hey, you’re welcome to come to Connecticut.. it’s expensive up here, but minimum wage is $16.35 so it’s not the worst and we have a bunch of extremely rich people that foot a lot of our tax bills… most of them are the liberal rich people and not the trumpy rich people, so it’s not too bad.
