26 thru 50 equal bottom half
That means there are 35 states which are more dangerous than Mississippi.
putting it in the bottom half of states when it comes to safety.
That means that more than half of the states are safer than Mississippi.
Do the math.
So, the 50th most dangerous is more dangerous than the 1st most dangerous?
This must be a liberal list.
I would imagine his thinking was the same as mine. If they are the 36th most dangerous state than they are actually the 14th or 15th safest state, which would put them in the top tier, not the bottom.
