Interesting read. For example, the North Dakota "worst" mentioned in the first paragraph is that North Dakota is the least visited state in the union.

I have been in every state, but North Dakota. Just never got there.

[mrsmith]

Expected my state to be “worst drivers in ice or snow”.
In Virginia we just don’t get quite enough for people to learn well. Especially in the I95 area .

[BlueStateRightist]

A lot of leftist sentiment in this article.

Yeah Michigan roads suck but they would be a lot better if we got the feds out of the road funding business.

NY - worst at taxes, highest taxed state in the union
NY - worse at free markets - i.e. no fracking allowed
NY - worse at govt school expenses - most costly failed public scholl system in the country
NY - worse at energy prices - highest gasoline prices in the country

I could go on, ny is a a liberal statist’s dream.

My husband was transferred to Williston ND once before he retired. I can vouch for the fact that is IS cold there, and winter lasts a long time. One of our children was born in Williston. Also, the hottest this Texan has ever been was in Williston. There was no air condition, and we couldn’t figure out how to remove the storm windows for a while. After we figured that out, and could raise the windows, it was a bit better.

We loved it there! The friendly people made up for the long, cold winter. Our friends there used to joke that they hoped summer would come on a weekend so they could have a picnic.

New Hampshire does not have the least inland waterways, because the whole interior of the country west of the Missouri river has no inland waterways.

There’s a couple things in Nebraska worse than “least in furniture manufacture” That wasn’t even worth mentioning.

Virginia - “lowest oil production per capita”?

It might be helpful if the categories of criticism were limited to things we can DO something about.

Interesting read. For example, the North Dakota "worst" mentioned in the first paragraph is that North Dakota is the least visited state in the union.

False assumption regarding North Dakota. It is the least visited state because of its location, which the tourism people can do nothing about. On our way to Canada, we stopped at a small city, Jamestown, and the locals were friendly and encouraged us to see their special historical village comprised from artifacts from the 19th century throughout the area (jail, saloon, barber, real estate office, etc.) and a giant buffalo and horse rides. It was all pleasant, charming and a good memory for all of us.
