You know, in every survey, be it the best place to live, best schools, best economy, etc. I am ALWAYS seeing Mississippi at the BOTTOM of the list. It’s been like that for YEARS. What’s going on in The Magnolia State?
Just saying.
Deepest Plantation land that just can’t bootstrap itself to prosperity?
>> What’s going on in The Magnolia State?
They have never forgiven what happened to Medgar Evers, I guess.
But seriously, MS is just one of those states the Deep State and its media sycophants love to bash.
I know a LOT of good people from Mississippi.
If the left has put it there, then it must be a great place.
Because seriously, MA and NY are #1 & 3???????
Raciss list
The UNoffical motto of the state of Arkansas has always been...”Thank Heavens for Mississippi!”
Mississippi keeps Arkansas from being at the bottom of all lists.
Now Mississippi says “Thank Heavens for New Mexico!” Sad as NM used to be a great place to live 60 years ago. I still miss the 4-Corners area.
In all fairness. The two NW counties of Arkansas (Benton and Washington counties) are great places to live as the area is awash in Walmart money.
“What’s going on in The Magnolia State?”
White: 58.00%
Black or African American: 37.68%
Wages are low in MS. But that state doesn’t just throw up its hands and accept defeat. There are a lot of industrial parks and factories. MSU, where my kids graduated from, has a lot of efforts to grow prosperity in rural MS, with agricultural, tech, entrepreneurial, educational projects.
The poor places of MS don’t have near the homelessness of CA.
And the rankings like this don’t take into account the intangibles, like basic Christian courtesy, that is part of daily life there.
I would never have chosen to send my California kids to MSU for college if I had not dared to visit and see it for myself. I didn’t know that the rankings were not telling the full story. No regrets. Hail State!!
