That applies to any state if you’re poor. It sounds like you’re poor and live in pathetic zip codes.

You would live in a shitty zip code regardless of the state.

Yeah … I’m far from poor. Quite the opposite actually (which I’m very grateful for). I’ve lived in Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and now building a house on the Georgia coast. I stand by my statement about the South.

Arkansas has the only diamond mine in the US.

Arkansas is the world producer of HIMARS which is almost single handedly fighting Russia at the moment. We also produce a ton of other rocket systems and missles, MLRS, ATACMS, Javelin's but I believe the Javelin is actually completed in Troy Alabama.

I think both Alabama and Arkansas are world's better than Mississippi and Louisiana. But both states have their fair share of problems too.

You sound like a liberal. I would much rather raise my family in a conservative state. You can have a really good life in the south and make really good money. I have a wonderful job and love living in ever-growing Northwest Arkansas.

I agree with you, but will say, that I believe North Carolina is gem of a state, in every respect.... I consider it a SE state, but some might not agree.... It is one of the best states to live in, if not the best when everything is considered.
