Isn't there a way we can just inject the UV into our veins?
34% of America:
“I’d vote for this guy”
I'd be very interested to see how many of them ate paint chips as a kid, or were exposed to lead in their drinking water.
A third of our country should be this ridiculously knuckleheaded, but here we are.
That's what happens when you vote (D). R. I. P. Flint, MI
The irony of calling out a failed liberal city when nearly every conservative state on average ranks lower than pretty much every liberal state in nearly every demographic that matters: education, life expectancy, salary, economy, healthcare, infant mortality, and crime rates.
Yeah, Democrats are totes the problem. Gotcha lol.
Crime stats depend on people reporting crimes. Something that is actively discouraged in blue states. You don't need a six figure salary when the cost of living is low. California has the 5th highest infant mortality rate in th country. Not everyone needs to pay a few years wages to a paper mill for a diploma they'll never use in their trade. California, Texas, New York and Florida have the four largest economies in the US. This hardly follows party lines.
Alright, starting your argument with conservative hearsay, something that's not even remotely true. Bold choice.
Cool. My argument still stands that on AVERAGE red states perform worse on just about every metric. So, not sure what you're trying to argue for.
Alright. Something that we can agree with. However it is interesting to note that states with higher degree counts have higher average salaries, so a degree isn't a bad thing depending on what it's in.
Of the top 10 states based on GDP, 7 are Democrat-controlled. It's also worth noting that Democrat-controlled counties make up 70% of the total GDP in the entire US. It absolutely follows party lines a lot more than you think.
I live in Minneapolis bud. You will be actively shouted down for even mentioning that you considered reporting a crime because "the police might shoot them". Additionally, all property crimes here must now be reported to 311 (not the police) which is purely to get you a case number for insurance. They don't pursue them.
As for GDP, yeah man, urban areas are blue. It's not because they're better, it's because poor people congregate there for public services.
