what is going on everyone it is time to do something a little bit different I
get asked all the time what are the best States what are the worst states what
are my favorite States I'm asked these on a daily basis from Twitter Instagram
emails and in the comments section of my videos so I thought we would tackle the
subject and just rank them all the first hurdle is how do you properly rank all
50 states if you're doing it just by one stat or maybe a couple stats it's easy
you just figure out what state leads the country and those stats and boom there's
your list but this one isn't that easy it's really an opinion in this case it's
my opinion how do i form these opinions well would be stats experience
reputation and weird facts weird facts tell you a lot about a location as an
example when you have a location that's had let's say the highest teen pregnancy
rate for 10 years running that's a depressive weird fact first of
all but it also makes you think what are the other issues that this location may
be facing to achieve the number one status teen pregnancy is higher in
lower-income areas in areas with poor education with limited access to health
care and with all around a low quality of life so weird facts play a big part
on how a place would rank this will be the first of three videos going from
worse to first at a faster pace that I normally do and I'm sure I'm gonna
ruffle some feathers on this one that's life these are my opinions based
on my experience so if you don't like my opinions you think I'm wrong put it in
the comments section and then go out and try and make your community better so
that being said why don't you grab something to drink and watch my video
the ranking of all 50 states for 2019 part one number 50 Mississippi hot humid
wrecked with poverty and if you didn't see this one being one of the worst
states congratulations on waking up from your 50 year coma Mississippi has been
one of the worst states since it was admitted into the Union in 1817 that's
right everyone over 200 years of suck the state capital Jackson is one of the
worst cities in the country and when it comes to leading the country into
anything Mississippi leads the country and
conservatives per capita I'm not kidding look that one up
number 49 Arkansas the state of Arkansas has three million people and I'm sure
2.5 million wish they were someplace else right now in 1891 this the state
legislators passed a law requiring a literacy test you had to pass to vote
knowing this would exclude many of the blacks and poor whites you know the
people that more than anything needed some changes at the time more than 25%
of the population of the entire state of Arkansas could neither read nor write
and that was about 75% of the people living below the poverty line Arkansas
leads the country in hate groups per capita according to a stately comm
number 48 New Mexico urban legend has it that New Mexico became a state after the
president the United States lost a bet to the President of Mexico and we had to
take it over as a result of losing the bet now that is untrue it's more like
they forgot they owned it and we moved in and made it a state in 1912 New
Mexico leads the country in people with mental illness per capita it also is
very high up there on poverty number 47 Alabama before Mississippi's statehood
on December 10th 1817 it was known as the Mississippi Territory it was split
in half and the less populated eastern half of the territory was named the
Alabama territory in 1819 it became the state of Alabama once you realize it was
part of Mississippi it all makes sense Alabama has great college football
programs and leads the country in racist tweets
that's according to a state lead calm not kidding look it up number 46
Louisiana Louisiana is great if you're tourists if you live there you probably
spend a lot of time wondering what you did in past life to end up living in
Louisiana once you get past New Orleans and the
good people that live in this state which they have a lot of them you start
to realize that they do have cities like Baton Rouge which is always one of the
most dangerous cities in the country New Orleans is kind of bad too but they do
have nice things going on there too but Baton Rouge is just all a mess Louisiana
leads the country people in prison that's per capita always
number 45 Alaska Alaska is big and doesn't have a lot of people isolation
is a major part of most residents lifes in Alaska the number one cause of death
in Alaska after heart disease is accident no specific type of accident
just a whole bunch of accidents Alaska leads the country in more veterans per
capita that's kind of cool number 44 West Virginia okay maybe
you're shocked and maybe you think they should have been number 50 and they
might have been five years ago oh wait I'm sorry I forgot in my Mississippi so
maybe 49 five years ago the fact is West Virginia is getting better now don't get
me wrong they got a long way to go to become you know in the top ten of best
states but they're working at it they also lead the country in deer vehicle
collision so that's something number 43 New Jersey New Jersey is the type of
state that has people willing to fight you in a parking lot over talking trash
about New Jersey like most people I've always wondered where this sense of
pride comes from it's New Jersey they have camped in New Jersey in their state
it's like one of the worst cities in the country it's right across the river from
Philadelphia and I'm sure more than one person in Philadelphia has entertained
the thought of blowing the bridge between them New Jersey has the most
under contro that is separated people that just think it's a pain to go to
court and get an actual divorce probably cuz they don't want to go to court
because they have warrants and stuff number 42 Oklahoma the average household
in Oklahoma has more guns than IQ points they also are the only state that every
single County voted Republican in 2016 they also lead the country and residents
on public assistance and Oklahoma also leads the country on executions per
capita go Oklahoma number 41 Delaware Delaware has one major city and that is
Wilmington this city has been in bad shape for forever if you read the local
news it's about as scary as reading a Stephen King book with guns and drugs
they have one major city you'd think they could put some effort into cleaning
it up got one to focus on they got smaller cities they got one major city
come on Delaware number forty Florida hurricanes
insects swamps heat tweakers that's mostly what I experienced every time
I've gone to Florida people used to flood the Florida and those days are
over these days they're about even with people leaving and entering they do lead
the country in shark attacks so that's something and stop typing they also have
the most swimmers in coastline I get it so the odds are of them having the most
shark attacks we don't need that explanation again every time I bring up
Florida someone else tell us that number 39 Marilyn besides having that god-awful
flag and being shaped like it was made from land that the surrounding states
didn't want they also have Baltimore every time I've been to Maryland and
subsequently gone to Baltimore I've seen someone yelling at someone else in the
street like four times not the same dude either it was like different people just
screaming at each other in the middle of street I don't know if this like a trend
there or a ritual or some kind of tradition four times I've been there
four times I've seen that Maryland leads the country in millionaire Democrats
living in the state number 38 Kentucky Kentucky is all about basketball and
horse racing or at least that's what everyone I've ever met from the state
talks about and talks about and talks about it some more while visiting the
Bluegrass State I made the mistake of going outside a major city I was
surprised how fast it got backwoods it got backwoods really quick I mean three
four broken-down cars on a lawn that type stuff
number 37 Missouri their reasons people refer to this state as misery and two of
them are st. Louis in Kansas City the third would be whether weather.com
tracked the number of violent tornadoes that each state had since 1950 and
Missouri came in number six with 41 violent tornadoes in the past seventy
years a lot of tornadoes this state it's just weird I've never enjoyed
myself here not even once number 36 Nevada
besides Vegas maybe Reno there isn't much else to this state easily the worst
state to ever drive through and stop typing Henderson Nevada is part of the
Las Vegas metro area so don't tell me how good it is and it's just as big a
city as Reno it probably is but it's part of Vegas whether you like it or not
the only other thing this state has to offer is like the Hoover Dam and maybe
area 51 and actually conversations with those people that believe something
really is going on area 51 those are entertainment in a crazy kind of way
number 35 Ohio every time I've been to Ohio my
sinuses freak out and everyone drops the f-bomb in every other sentence of every
conversation it seems a stately calm ranks Ohio is having the phallus
speaking citizens in the entire country now here's another thing about sinuses
seven of the top 25 cities for the worst allergies and asthma were in Ohio more
than any other state number 34 South Carolina
so there's Charleston which is filled with great history people in food Myrtle
Beach and Columbia are great too it's just too bad the rest of the state is
attached South Carolina is hot humid and gets hurricanes South Carolina drivers
have been ranked the worst in the country four of the last 10 years
thirty-three Iowa Iowa is flat boring but it has good people I read an article
about how virtual reality in the future will enable you to climb Mount Rushmore
surf Hawaii sail the Great Lakes hang glide around the Hollywood sign and
swing from the Golden Gate Bridge they will never make virtual reality about
Iowa I promise you that unless of course walking around a cornfield becomes an
extreme sport someday Iowa also leads the country and reports of lost chickens
I'm not even kidding number 32 Tennessee the Volunteer State
is a great place to visit but it might be a little too much to live there you
have maybe three decent cities and then it's hillbilly heaven they do lead the
country in mega churches though and number 31 Indiana you know I'm really
trying to think of something positive to say about Indiana but I'm not coming up
with anything they do lead the country in apathetic voters though that's
something and they're a state all right so that's number 52 number 31 hope you
