While I was fairly happy during the time I lived there I'm not sure if I ever 'corned' anything.
Living here since 1981. Have never “corned” anything either. Nebraska was (reported to be) the only state in February to have a reduction in unemployed. If you can take the weather (Saturday we had both blizzard and tornado warnings simultaneiouly a few miles to the west), it is good. Not too many liberals, a bonus!
I never find our malls empty. Since last Saturday, the malls are full like its Christmas and there are few parking spots to be found.
Almost every fast food restaurants is hiring, as usual. Our church is overflowing every week. Churches I have visited or overflowing. We are a red state. We are not arrogant people, just people who trust God.
I’ve never “corned” anything either. I sometimes look at the weather we had last weekend as a necessary “evil” to ensure the ‘tards from Kalifornia don’t all move here & ruin “the good life”.
My home state was third.
Surprised Hawaii is fourth considering how expensive it is to live there, but based on the indicators, it appears those who live there can afford it.
Wisconsin is in the top ten, at least. They must’ve just interviewed the Socialists, because we Conservatives aren’t all that happy these days. (But we’re gaining ground!)
Now y'all play ignorant. We know better. Apparently, 'what gets corned in Nebraska doesn't get spoken about outside of Nebraska.'

(The same friend had any number of observations about his field of work that were somewhat universal in their application: railroads run great after 4:00 in the afternoon because the biggest pains in the a** will be at home 'til 8:00 in the morning; it isn't hard to run a locomotive, but it takes considerable skill to keep everything behind it in one piece; any lawyer can come in and run a railroad until he has used up everyone else's money...)
Quick! Move the nations’ Capitol there. That’ll screw em D.C. style.
I’m surprised Texas isn’t among the top. You’ll be hard-pressed to find more grounded, salt-of-the-earth people. Maybe the wackos in Austin, and Houston’s “montrose” population are dragging us down. A miserable lot they are.

MI is #44. At least we’re above Ohio, #45.

What I heard was that you fell
off your horse drunk and broke
your neck.

I heard that one myself, Bob.
Hell, I even thought I was dead
til I found out it was just I
was in Nebraska.
I especially get a kick out of all the crazy nonsense going on with our neighbor to the east.
They didn’t include football as part of the criteria, that would would knock them down a peg or two. j/k
A couple of years ago, I was traveling on I-80 east bound in western Nebraska. The sky got very dark, I turned on my radio for weather report and they named a bunch of counties in Nebraska that were under tornado warnings.
I didn’t know what counties were where but didn’t really need a geography lesson to know I was certainly in one of them.
Ahead of me on the right was a large open area and about 1/2 mile to the right were 3 humongous twisters. A car was pulled over on the shoulder and some moron was standing by it taking pictures, as I drove by, I noticed his California plates.
I sped up to almost 100 miles per hour, as the tornados seemed to be moving from the side directly toward me. Even at that speed, cars were passing me.
I don’t know what happened to the nut taking pictures.
We’re Number Two! We’re Number Two! : )
Actually, despite all the recent political idiocy, I’m not surprised Iowa is 2nd. These are folks are hard working, pleasant, straight-forward people. Even the usually dippy kids you get on college campi are pretty decent. It’s been a pleasure living here. And while I complain about the weather, it does keep the crime rate down at least 4 months a year!
How can anyone be happy that close to liberal Iowa?
