To score the states for quality of life, we use hard data on factors like crime rates, air quality and healthcare. We also consider the cost and availability of childcare, inclusiveness of state laws, and reproductive rights. Some states offer exemplary quality of life. But these ten states do not make the grade.
Starting at worst:
- 1- Tennessee
- 2- Texas
- 3- Indiana
- 4- Louisiana
- 5- Georgia
- 6- Utah
- 7- Missouri
- 8- Alabama
- 9- Oklahoma
- 10- Arkansas
Not surprisingly the GOP has a trifecta in every one of these states - Republican governor and control of both the house and senate. The AG in each of these states is Republican too.
It’s clear that Republicans are especially good at one thing - Making their states the worst places to live in the U.S.
Hopefully at some point American voters will figure out that Republicans do not represent them, they only represent the wealthy. They create lousy conditions for the rest of us when they are put in charge.
If our media companies weren’t so absurdly right wing they would point that out in articles like this one.
