    I agree with the headline, even if only from personal experience, and I have worked and lived in over 5 states while having worked in over a dozen. I’ve lost friends and family to the “anti-woke” herd. as such, I’ve made the choice to go low/no contact with them. they’ve decided the rights they enjoy aren’t good enough for folks that don’t vote like them. the bigotry is everywhere it seems! I even quit a job because I wouldn’t tolerate the constant Trump/Jesus worship that management was forcing on staff. until a respect for Reason takes hold, I’m afraid this will only get worse.

      I’ve never been taken advantage of more than when I was working in Texas. YMMV.

      I can relate.

      A number of issues, not the least of which was my birther believing unironically that Obama was the Antichrist, led me to go no contact with my family for what will be an entire decade come this December.

      The surprising part is that five states are worse than them.

      This article is only talking about one of the 10 metrics that CNBC ranked (Life, Health, and Inclusion). For this metric Mississippi ranked 11th. Overall they ranked 3rd worst after Alaska and Louisiana.

    Democrats love nothing more than jerking themselves off whenever some shitstick propaganda outlet runs an opinion piece that they agree with

      Original article from CNBC:

      These are America’s 10 worst states to live and work in for 2023, and there’s a big surprise at the very bottom - CNBC July 14, 2023

      MEDIA BIAS FACT CHECK rates CNBC as:

      Overall, we rate CNBC Left-Center Biased based on story selection that leans left. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High due to two failed fact checks.

      Further, U.S. News & World Report has multiple Missouri state rankings, with the majority holding rankings between # 30/50 and # 39/50, with an overall ranking of # 30/50.

      Missouri | #30 in Overall Ranking - U.S. News & World Report

      MEDIA BIAS FACT CHECK rates U.S. News & World Report as:

      Overall, we rate U.S. News & World Report Left-Center biased based on story selection that slightly favors the left and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

      However, if learning about people “jerking themselves off whenever some shitstick propaganda outlet runs an opinion piece that they agree with” is of interested to you, you may be interested in this article:

      Words that have proven wise to live by:

      "Every Republican accusation is a confession."

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
