Alabama

Worst: High infant mortality — The state definitely isn’t scoring any points when it comes to health care for pregnant women and infants. Alabama has the highest infant mortality rate, with 9.1 infant deaths out of every 1,000 live births.

Alaska

Worst: Suicide rate — But despite the proven benefits of being in nature, the state has the highest rate of suicides, which sadly continues to increase year after year.

Arizona

Worst: Teacher turnover — The forecast for the state’s schools is much gloomier. Arizona has frequently been named the worst state for teachers thanks to high turnover and teacher-to-student ratios.

Arkansas

Worst: Divorce — Residents of the Natural State may want to start prioritizing their marriages over mallards, though. Arkansas has the highest divorce rate in the United States of 23.4 divorces per 1,000 people.

California

Worst: Quality of life — However, it was also accused of having the worst quality of life based on a variety of social and environmental factors including sense of community and air pollution. Maybe that’s why in recent years, more people have been leaving California than moving there…

Colorado

Worst: Drug overdoses — But there’s a dark side to the sun-soaked state so beloved by outdoor enthusiasts—it has the highest rate of deaths from drug overdose. It’s a rate that has even doubled in some counties over the last decade due primarily to painkillers like Percocet and Oxycontin.

Connecticut

Worst: Public roads — Over half of the state’s 21,512 miles of public roads are in poor condition.

Delaware

Worst: Partying — First is the worst—at nightlife, that is. The first state was ranked 50 out of 50 for its lack of bustling bar scene.

Florida

Worst: Treating HIV/AIDS — But with a slew of tourists and partygoers, comes something much more dangerous—drugs shared by infected needles. Hence why Florida (Miami in particular) is dealing with the highest rates of HIV diagnoses.

Georgia

Worst: Flu prevention — Georgians should be using some of those onions in one of these natural flu remedies. After all, Atlanta experienced some of the most severe levels of influenza in the United States this past winter.

Hawaii

Worst: Sleeping — Hawaiian adults must be spending all their time on the beach instead of in bed, though—43.9 percent of Hawaiian adults get less than seven hours of sleep per night on average.

Idaho

Worst: Cyberbullying — The state was also voted the worst for bullying, particularly for kids online and on social media.

Illinois

Worst: Bug bites — Just make sure you spray a lot of insect repellant on before you head out to the pumpkin patch. The Midwestern state has some of the highest rates of mosquito-related illnesses (including West Nile virus) and tick-borne diseases like Lyme’s.

Indiana

Worst: Pollution — As long as you don’t breathe too deeply in your new place, you’ll be fine. After all, the 40 million pounds of toxic fumes generated by Indiana’s coal plants make it the most polluted of the 50 states.

Iowa

Worst: Building bridges — Just be careful when you’re driving to go look at houses in Des Moines. Iowa was ranked the worst state for its bridges, 5,000 of which have been deemed “structurally deficient” by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association.

Kansas

Worst: Human trafficking — The Midwestern state isn’t all smooth sailing, though. It’s also the state where human sex trafficking has skyrocketed to new levels in recent years.

Kentucky

Worst: Lung cancer rates — The state has the highest rate of lung cancer diagnoses, a disease that has only a 56 percent five-year chance of survival.

Louisiana

Worst: Stress — To be honest, that probably explains why Louisianians are also the most stressed in the country (dating is hard!). Not to mention the high levels of poverty, crime, and the number of hours worked per week… phew.

Maine

Worst: Lyme’s disease — But dogs bring more than just cuddles and companionship. They can also carry ticks in from the outdoors, which could be why Maine has the highest rate of Lyme’s disease.

Maryland

Worst: Bed bugs — With all that money, wealthy Marylanders might be sleeping tight, but they probably are letting the bed bugs bite, too. For the second year in a row, Baltimore topped the list of cities with the most bed bug infestations.

Massachusetts

Worst: Traffic — And those therapists are probably in high demand given that Boston has the worst traffic in the United States. Its drivers spend 14 percent of their drive time sitting bumper-to-bumper.

Michigan

Worst: Identity theft —But make sure you lock up your valuables during tee time. The state is the worst for identity theft. With over 15,000 reported cases last year (the majority related to government documents or benefits), it’s clearly much bigger than a stolen wallet.

Minnesota

Worst: Winters — Minnesotans might not be buried under bills, but they are buried under something else: snow. The state has been voted as having the most miserable winters in the country, and with some parts getting over 170 inches of snow each year and seeing temperatures of -60 degrees Fahrenheit, we don’t disagree.

Mississippi

Worst: Women’s health — But it clearly isn’t going towards female healthcare, as the state has the highest rates of death from heart disease, breast cancer, and diabetes in women.

Missouri

Worst: Drug use — But the amount of money donated to good causes isn’t the only thing that’s sky high. Missourians are getting a different kind of high more frequently than any other state, according to a study that puts them at No. 1 for drug use.

Tune in tomorrow for the remainder of the list!

  28. just got off the phone with my son…LOL
    they are considering adopting another boxer–1 1/2 year old female like their present dog. only the adoption place wants to come and surprise visit the house at their whim. my son explained that my DIL works from home and she isn’t always available for surprise visits–she zoom calls clients etc.
    so the adoption place is giving them a hard time…sheesh.

  29. “Nothing Compares 2 U: DEATHVAX™ Edition”
    2ND SMARTEST GUY IN THE WORLD

    “Sinead O’Conner has suddenly passed away at far too young an age. The singer led a troubled life, with her son committing suicide last year (a known “vaccine” adverse event). O’Conner was admitted to hospital upon her son’s death where the likelihood of her being injected with the slow kill bioweapons is around 100%.

    O’Connor’s family confirmed the news in a statement to Irish news outlet RTÊ: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.” O’Connor was 56 years old.

    Let us now wait for the Mockingbird MSM spin to commence, where the cause of death will quite literally be explained away as anything but the you know what. It would be highly advisable for all “vaccinated” and unvaccinated alike to consider inexpensive repurposed drugs to not only mop up the Spike Proteins and mRNA Modified Spike Proteins (SP 2), but to also serve as prophylaxis for “sudden” and rapid death from turbo cancers, prion-based diseases, etc.”

  31. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.
