Florida Has Been Ranked the Worst State In The U.S.: Here's Why
Quote:


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.

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.
