America’s worst states to live in 2017
CNBC ^ | July 11, 2017 | Scott Cohn

Posted on 07/16/2017 5:29:58 AM PDT by drellberg

Far be it from us to throw shade on your home sweet home, but the data does not lie. The Quality of Life category in our annual America's Top States for Business study ranks all 50 states on overall livability based on metrics, including crime rate, attractions, air quality, health and health care and legal protections against discrimination. Quality of Life is worth a possible 300 out of 2,500 total points in the study, based on the Top States methodology and sources. Journey with us now through this year's Top States hall of shame — the 10 bottom states for quality of life.

From CNBC: You are a deplorable if you live anywhere in America's heartland. And the media wonder why they are loathed here.

"but the data does not lie."

CNBC's survey seems overly concerned that their 10 worst don't offer special rights for sexual deviants who can't tell the difference between an entrance orifice and an exit orifice.

I don't like cigarette smoking either, but I've found your average cigarette smoker is far less "in your face" about their habit than your average sexual deviant.

So LBTGEWVYTSE rights and smoking really knock states down in the eyes of CNBC. Got it.

Total BS - Connecticut’s not on the list. Connecticut - the bankrupt state with the brain dead idiot democrat governor.

Any state ranking that doesn't feature New Jersey in the 3 worst is completely bogus. It's generally ranked in the top 2 when they report the number of people who have moved out of the state in a given year. As to how a state treats its perverts -- who cares? I'm not a pervert.

Interesting that if a state has an obesity problem they always show a picture of a Fat White Guy when that's not the demographic.

What a crock of a list of states! I read the rationale of why these states were on the list. It sounds like it was written by an SJW.

My study of this study reveals it to be the most absurd pile of crap seen since my dad’s prize bull had an extreme case of diarrhea.

Data doesn’t lie? Like the House seats NYS has lost over the last 5 decades? Like the number of jobs and taxpayers fleeing the state? The billions in assets that have gone with them?

But NYS didn’t make their list. Go figure.

Note to CNBC: Won’t help.

But if your income is $800K and you live in a nice house in Greenwich, what’s not to like?

I just saw the definition of “to throw shade on” defined as a new slang: “to make snide remarks about” in a teen fashion mag for girls just this past month.

“Are younger colleagues throwing shade at you for not being with it? This introduction to millennial slang will make sure your next conversation is super lit!”

You're probably right insofar as political corruption is concerned. It's all about trading goodies for votes with the cretins in Trenton, Camden, Elizabeth and Newark. However, parts of the state are stunningly beautiful, especially Somerset, Morris, Warren and Sussex counties.
