The States: Maybe A National Divorce Is A Good Idea After All

[Bronco]

My issue is with her husband primarily, and it had nothing to do with race- more so that they both seemed upset about not being higher in pecking order. If I came across as saying it was because she was black, Yeesh and mea culpa

It is just a message board, and I don't need to go back into the thread to find who wrote what. I also know that the regulars that post here likely don't intend what was written in a racist light. Just set me off when I saw someone writing to the point of not bringing home someone you love because of their family or what others might think. I know what it feels like having someone you love be rejected by your family for who they are, and I can only imagine doing it in public. I don't know much at all about Harry and Megan, but I can relate to that, and it is ****ing gross. /end

If you care enough about the monarchy to closely follow it (which is fine by me, I don't) I find it incredulous that any royal would be criticized for supposedly being entitled. Good Lord it's practically in the job description. Unless they're a complete ****bag (I think one of them was basically kicked out right?) I can't imagine that being bothersome. But that's just me. : )

I don’t pay attention to celebrity stuff or reality tv so sometimes it’s nice to take a break from climate change and women’s bodily rights to snark on something that’s not important (insert smiley face)

How tf did Alaska end up at #30? I figured we’d easily into the 40s.

#26, behind farking Kansas. Hail to the autoworkers, hail to the circle-jerkers. *sigh*

That might be one of the silliest rankings articles I've seen. In fact, I think I'd rank it #1.

If they want to call it a ranking of the states based upon the percentage of population that possesses a graduate or professional degree, fine. That's literally what that list is. But to call it a ranking of states from least educated to most educated is absurd.

What do most polls/surveys/research what have you base their assessments of education status on then?

Well for starters to have you consider their number of posts of the illustrious academic journal souixsports.com.

Well, that's the thing, you can't really do a ranking of "most educated." It's not a measurable statistic. You can do a ranking on highest percentage of high school graduates, or highest percentage of the population with a professional degree, or something like that. But categories like "most educated" and "least educated" are just clickbait attractions for people who, frankly, probably aren't that educated.

Advanced degree % likely would include people moving there after graduation for work. For instance DC is at 37% per this Wiki.

You can also sort by % with at least a HS education and a bachelor's.

Conversely, the lowest rated blue state is either MI or AZ at 26 and 27....unless someone wants to argue that WI (#36) is a blue state?

It makes sense. Conservatism is a citadel for the least capable, most cowardly portion of the population. In the US it is intertwined with religious literalism, the most naive and adolescent form of religion -- merely superstition. Finally, the thralldom of the red states to regressive politics means the least reach of education and science into the population.

The stifling effects of the Right are mutually reinforcing and push their societies backwards. The Right in the US is simply the Iranian ayatollahs, but fatter.

Good. Stop the culture warriors in their tracks.
