Florida Has Been Ranked the Worst State In The U.S.: Here's Why (https://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-ranked-worst-state-u-194645447.html)


Florida is officially the crème de la crappy of all 50 states, ranking dead last on a list of best to worst locations in America.

Thrillist released a definitive ranking of the states in July with a “go big or go home” ranking system based on, literally, "everything."

"Everything" being their contributions to America: important, well-known people, inventions, food and drink, and unique physical beauty and landmarks.

And Florida, apparently, has none of those things.

Hmm... Seems to me that “article” is one short piece of crap.

Thrillist (the media company that did the rating) "is a leading men's digital lifestyle brand, providing all that's new, unknown or under-appreciated in food, drink, entertainment, nightlife, gadgets, and gear in the U.S. and the U.K. Find the best spots to eat, drink and shop at some of the hippest stores across America. Explore the newest and best the Nation is hiding." (from their website)

Apparently we are just not "hip" enough. I'm taking this as a compliment.

Maybe they just didn't hear yet that we are getting a driverless taxi.

I'm not so sure about that, as I'm guessing we can compete with any place...in titanium hips per square mile. :D

The Villages is in Florida, 'nuff said. Bet this jerk lives in a 600 sq ft $2000 mo s***hole apt in NY. Amazing number of idiots in this country.

The purpose of this article is to get people to see the name "Thrillist". I would guess that no one here has ever heard of this company before. A marketing strategy is to say something completely ridiculous, outrageous or controversial so that people will look at it and spread it on the internet.

I've already seen this article posted on FaceBook and another site.

We are being used.

There is an excellent book on this by David Baldacci called The Whole Truth that shows just how far this strategy can go.

I HATE being used and being subjected to ridicule. EVERYONE does. Why would ANYONE want to do that to anyone else?

WHY? I have wondered that so often.

We lived in Florida three times before finally giving up on it.

As the great Sage Yogi Berra said :

"No one goes there anymore...it's TOO CROWDED!

I think the reason why Floridians seem to be ridiculed so much is that when summer comes, bringing the heat and humidity, it is rare to find someone who is honest enough to say yes, it is hot and humid down here.

We the Northerners get ridiculed too...in the middle of the winters, we get calls and emails from our Floridian friends laughing at us.

So I guess we are even.

Well we only have one way to look 👀 ☝️☝️☝️

Never wanted to retire in Florida!

Then we met The Villages, love affair ever since.

Love living here in The Villages.

Yep, same here.


If it weren't for The Villages...I would be a lot further north myself.


Like maybe all the way up in Amelia Island.

Came to Florida on vacation in 1962 with my beautiful bride. We both fell in love with Florida. We only dreamed of actually owning property here. North in the summer and south in The winter. Is this a great country or what!

Oh yeah, Orlando, Florida was ranked the number one U.S. vacation destination place. I wonder why if Florida is the worst State. About that...in the words of that great philosopher Forrest Gump, that’s all I have to say about that.
