I wonder how US states compare. We’re a giant country with a lot of shithole states that drag us down.
*We're a giant shithole with a few decent states that hold us up
Wow Hawaii is like 🖕🏻🖕🏻
Mississippi is clearly that kid at school that eats the crayons.
That's still rough. All continental states are worse than Czechia (79.23) and Albania (79.28) in 2019....
Edit: Ah no, your link was updated in 2023 but uses 2020 data, so that comparison is flawed. In 2020 that's slightly worse than Costa Rica and Thailand.
USA! USA! USA!
A rising tide lifts all boats. Fix healthcare federally, everyone benefits. Even the shitholes.
Alternatively, the US is a shithole country with an oppressive health care system. The current life expectancy is propped up by a few super rich states where people can actually afford to see a doctor.
You mean there are states that aren’t shitholes? I wasn’t aware. Sure, there’s varying orders of magnitude of shittiness, from “the vast majority of the population has been permanently priced out of home ownership, and thousands of people are living in modern day Hoovervilles” at one end, to “thousands or even millions of people live in crippling poverty and having their fundamental human rights violated and restricted daily” At the other, but it’s pretty shitty everywhere for the average American.
Looks like a max difference of five years across states, and you can guess which states are on the lower end.
