He recently said that he wants to retire in Baton Rouge after he finishes playing professional baseball. People down here were genuinely confused when he said that because Paul Skenes is from Manhattan Beach, California and lived in Colorado Springs his first two years of college before transferring to LSU. Happiness is a state of mind! Find the RIGHT place for you, not what everyone else thinks.

California's super-majority gets to pass all manner of terrible laws, and spend their way from a $200,000,000,000 surplus to a $65,000,000,000 deficit in just three years, because the majority aren't willing to vote against the people who provide them with government assistance.

The cold. Less light in the winter. Cold is severely depressing. Tassilaq, Greenland is like the suicide capital of the world. Could also coincide with unchecked demonic activity - unchecked by the power of prayer. Virtually no one is praying in some of the isolated, cold places.

That's only because they don't count all of the insane number of overdoses in California as suicides. I'm sorry, were you harboring under the delusion that so many people in California OD because their lives are so great? Then you have to ask yourself about the ripple effect. If people in Wyoming get depressed, get drunk, and kill themselves, and people in California get depressed, get addicted to drugs, spend the next few years lying, stealing, and otherwise victimizing everyone they encounter, and then OD...which state is really worse?

I was born and raised in Oklahoma. So, I agree. A lot of southern states(I’m not shocked because I’m from the south. Not Deep South though.)

Knew my state would show up in this list. Surprised Arizona didn't get a higher ranking.

As someone born in Oregon but having lived in Mississippi for four long years (87-91), I can empathize. Never take a career in nuclear power like my dad did.

I've been reading in the last few years that Oklahoma is becoming a destination for preppers and bunker builders for it's isolated distance from missile/drone attacks, most inland port, and fertile soil.

It's proximity to, and down wind of PanTex make Oklahoma about the worst conceivable place for long term survival from a significant attack. A successful strike on PanTex would immediately turn half the state into crater lake, and radiate the rest of the state into waste land for the next 5 millenia... I'd think Inland of the Sierra Nevadas would be the best place. Temperate climate, low population density, sufficient soil and seasons for crops, sufficient water, and low priority for attack

@Timithos PanTex, north and east of Amarillo is the location where the US manufacturers nuclear weapons. While I live in and love Eastern Oklahoma which is part of the Ozaek uplift, the jet stream would spread radiation over all of Oklahoma following a successful strick on PanTex, and, we have to assume PanTex is a darling target for both terrorists and rogue states.

Oklahoma, I agree this is an interesting state, particularly for government employees...

California getting least safest state for workplace is something I'd like to know more about. Internet searches aren't turning up information on this. Would you (or anyone for that matter) possibly be willing to cite a source for this? I'm not saying the video is wrong, but I would just like to know more being this relates to a current consideration of mine.

Big businesses are very profitable in California and work pressures are often high, leading to an increased sensitivity in the workplace. So, the issue gets some focus politically. For all the luxury lifestyle you hear about in CA, most people are working their asses off.

This is hilarious to me. In Canada, huge numbers of people wait for years just to be assigned a primary care physician. And if you don’t like your doctor, too bad, because you’ll have to endure another years’ long wait to get a new one. The waitlists for scans and surgeries can also be years long.

@@TheCharleseye It is crazy, but that’s how it is in Canada. About 6 million Canadians (out of a population of 38 million) do not have a primary care physician. And they often have to wait years to get one. There is no such thing as choosing your doctor. You take what they give you or nothing at all.

Can't disagree!!!

Ah, Briggs my friend to expand my knowledge. I know I'm not among the worst so I can relax.

What about Or. Washington, Minn. Ny.

Keep in mind there are nice areas in even “bad” states. Like Huntsville in Alabama, and parts of Arkansas.

Of more value than saying a whole State is good or bad, is what are good places to live. If you live in AZ or CA you don't live in the whole State, you live in a town, part of a city, the countryside, and so on. Even though CA's got a bad rating, likely the residents of La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, or Mill Valley might not agree that where they live are bad places. And In AZ if your home is in Sedona, Carefree, or Scottsdale you might think things are great. If I had to pick the best places in the USA to live, and I have been to all 50 States, I would choose Santa Barbara, Rancho Santa Fe, and La Jolla, + maybe Mill Valley. Inland I would pick Santa Fe, NM, Sedona, AZ, St George, UT, and Jackson, WY. And if you can afford two places to live, the pairs of Coeur d Alene and Scottsdale or Bozeman and Palm Springs.

A friend and I visited New Orleans in 1979 and we were warned by two different taxi drivers on our first day there to stay away from Bourbon Street, and to stay very close to our hotel room after dark. I am pleased to say that we had a lovely time, but we chose to sightsee with groups and guided tours. We were there for five days and, even though New Orleans had a bad reputation back then, we had a wonderful time!

I’ve seen enough of these videos that I could predict what was on the list.
