Have you ever been to LA, it’s a third world country. They can have one year.

Motherfricker, you act like nobody has ever been to Alabama.

I have a sister-in-law that lives there and I have made more than enough trips there for holidays over the last 30 years to tell you exactly what I have seen there.
It’s more like deer hunting country in Mississippi than anything. I’m not talking about the gulf coast but the interior up around the Tennessee line. It’s wood frame houses and towns consisting of an old grocery store and a truck stop with the occasional town that looks like it got left in the 1950’s and has a court house and a body shop. When you get out of the “towns” you have trailer houses and old cars, grown up in weeds, in front yards. It is decent farm houses and lots of old, run down poor arse people and piney woods.
Alabama is no different than Mississippi, from everything I saw. It’s as poor, or poorer than anywhere in the south. It sure as hell doesn’t have hundreds of multi billion dollar petrochemical plants paying six figure salaries. Don’t act like Alabama is some metro cosmopolitan utopian paradise because it’s no fricking Paris or Manhattan.
Alabama is full of uneducated poor redneck hick arse wood haulers and single wide dwellers. Third world, in anyone’s opinion, is what a majority of central and north Alabama is.
