Notice a pattern?

Oof.

Let me guess, boys not allowed to play against girls in sports?

You have TransDS.

 

[scotchtiger]

When I think of the best place to raise my family, “inclusiveness” certainly tops the list of criteria.

I read this when it was posted on here before. Lacks context and specificity when it comes to areas within states. For example, it mentions TN and violent crime, but Memphis skews that statistic dramatically and is controlled by democrats. Similar with many southern states. Crime is heavily concentrated in pockets that vote blue.

Worker protections dings right to work states. And considers minimum wage. The study also considers reproductive rights (abortion).

Again, as I consider where to raise my family, abortion isn’t a factor. Neither is minimum wage - that’s for high school kids punching movie tickets. Not real adults with a modicum of ability. And I’m not going to live in the pocket of the state with high violent crime.

In other words, this study is completely worthless for most people.

CNBC should tell real people to stop moving to such horrible places.

States experiencing the most people leaving / population decline

Only five states lost population overall:

• California

• Hawaii

• New Mexico

• Vermont

• West Virginia

Basically that and no free healthcare for illegals.

 

[MTTiger19]

You have TransDS.

You think men with cocks are women and he’s deranged?

 

[Billanole.]

Notice a pattern?

Very few states on that list we would consider moving to. Oops, I meant one.

 

[Allornothing]

Notice a pattern?

The WORST state, is any state, you currently reside. You're a POS!

 

[Allornothing]

You have TransDS.

Can you take a **** out of your mouth long enough to respond? NOPE!

 

[magaboy]

Republicans make everything worse. Same as it ever was.

 

[AFM22]

 

[TarponSpringsNole]

Nothing worse than living in an area filled with culturally bereft honkies.
You get the great food, good times, and lovely men and women with a diverse ethnic population.

 

[OnlyTheObscure]

You have TransDS.

Nope. Keep them out of women’s sports and they can pretend to be unicorns for all I care. It’s the left that tries to insist it’s hate because that is their attempt to end the conversation. Becasue of their is a conversation, they lose.

my subtle point was, most media outlets have an ax to grind and often try to be subtle.

we got the idiot Trump as president becasue the left refused to say boys playing girls sports is unacceptable and refused to close the borders. So 6 million 2020 biden voters stayed home and gift wrapped the election. Well done.

 

[Yellowsnow51]

Why does CNBC hate the SEC?

 

[MTTiger19]

It’s obvious CNBC is incredibly racist. All these states, with the exception of Utah and Indiana, have large black populations. They’re picking on minorities. Racists.

 

[alaskanseminole]

Could you PLEASE send this to the Californians so they will stop moving here in droves (Texas)?

 

[fatpiggy]

I've come around to liking Joe Kernen on CNBC. He makes watching that channel tolerable.

But i can't stand the commerical they run constantly. The one with Becky Qucik saying "It's like eating breakfast with the smartest people in the world". No, half the guests they have on the show are retards.

 

[NJPSU]

He read a discussion about the worst states to reside in and his mind immediately went to trannies. He has TransDS.

You are mentally ill id you don’t think these media outlets don’t have an agenda with lists like this.

I have no doubt boys playing girls sports is high on the list for reasons msnbc would downgrade a state for “livability”.

 

[Yellowsnow51]

If they give the same weight to “childcare” “and inclusivity” as they do “crime”, the list is not credible in the least bit.

 

[Hawkedup]

I’m not sure I would have Uriah on that list but yeah, pretty much garbage *** trash led by the red.

The same outlet the employs MAGA Joe Kernan, Rick Santelli, Sara Eisen, etc.

CNBC employs both far left and far right on air talent.

The SCOTUS has ruled, but you just cannot stop yourself from bringing up trans kids. That might be a you problem.

You know you have minority opinions on every one of the points you mentioned (with the possible exception of right to work), right? You're allowed your view points but you should at least entertain the idea that they're not representative.

Not everyone can afford to to pay for their child's knocked up girlfriend to travel out of state for an abortion (please let it be known that I'm in no way saying this is Scotch's situation, it's not even an implication).

I can’t imagine prioritizing abortion as a married couple with children to raise. Not just the scotchtiger family. It wouldn’t be in the top 1,000 areas of consideration.

Same with minimum wage. Who makes minimum wage? High school kids? Not people considering where to relocate, particularly if it’s a family.

What’s the point of statewide crime stats? There’s a difference between crime in Orangeburg or Allendale counties in SC (the two worst for crime) and raising a family in the normal parts of Charleston or Greenville. And violent crime is terrible in dem run cities like Memphis, Jackson MS, etc throughout the South. It’s not really representative of the place a family would actually relocate to.

It’s just a bad study.

if you listen to some people, the most important issues of the summer have been movie casting and WNBA roster decisions

Kernan being a MAGA just a coincidence?

I'm saying you're in the minority in your overall viewpoints on all of those things. A lot of people care about stuff, even if it doesn't impact them directly. I live in South Carolina and am upset about all of those things.

For a real life example of how a married couple could care about these things; my wife had an ectopic pregnancy in between our two children. Fortunately for us it resolved itself on its own but if it hadn't, there's a very real chance that she could have died with South Carolina's abortion laws. This was very much a wanted pregnancy and, if it happened today, we'd have left the state to get a medically required surgery because there are simply too many cases of women dying because of these asinine laws that most people don't want.

In short, please get your head out of your ***.

 

[m.knox]

You have TransDS.

LOL... You live in the ******** known as New Jersey. It's an armpit.

 

[BelemNole]

Sorry, the ones that are moving love all the things that make for a bad state on this list.

Regardless, it's killing traffic here! It's like snowbirds in FL, but all year long.

There are more important things to most people. Job market. Weather. School systems. Friendliness of neighbors. Safety in the areas they will actually live. Recreation options. Entertainment options. Lifestyle.

I've never met anyone in my life who would list abortion, inclusiveness and minimum wage in their top 5 criteria for relocating their family.

And to be fair, most of those states are garbage at all the things you've listed (as is South Carolina).

Some of this is going to boil down to personal preference and you can't really design a study around that. You look at things that affect most people.

I'd list inclusiveness in my top 5 and abortion in my top 10 (probably) of considerations that aren't just purely a matter of preference. If my family support system wasn't here you can bet I wouldn't willingly live in SC or any of the states listed.

Fair. To each their own. That said, even if my family wasn’t here, it’s tough to beat Mt. Pleasant, SC as a place to live and raise a family. My kids go to a great school and just spent the weekend on Capers and Morris islands with friends. That stuff isn’t on their list… SC can be pretty great.

Now if I were a promiscuous bisexual with asthma looking to unionize all of the minimum wage earning movie ticket stub collectors in Memphis, the list may give me some serious pause.

Aren't there expensive private schools in every state?

Following your link, Texas is the 4th best state for business, but the 2nd worst state to live? And had more people move there - by a lot - than any other state last year? If it was such a bad place to live, why did so many people move there?
