I'm from Minnesota so I'll not comment on southern life. I can say that these graphs and their so-called conclusions are some of the sloppiest "reporting" I've ever seen.

Hate and bias. Ugly stuff.

And yet folks from all over the country move to the South. Who'd a thunk?
-
Do people make less money down South - possible - but is it because prices lower.?
Figure it this way take the averae price of:
1- a gallon of gas
2- a gallon of milk
3- 100 wats of electrictiy
4- Dry cleaning of a mans 2 piece suit
5- 13 week subcribition of the Sunday Newspaper
How many hours would the average man have to work to obtain those producsts/ services. Then compare the answer from different parts of the country. -
One needs to take what they report on with a grain of salt when it comes to subjects such as that which is cited in the OP.
It often singles out the Deep South of our nation as the repository of certain lifestyles that conflict with its notions of Political Correctness.
I, for one, am not a bit surprised that it chose to run an article such as this that blatantly disparages the area of our nation in which I opted to call my home.
Yes, we have some problems and challenges that need to be corrected, but, OTOH, so do other parts of our country.
I'm not about to hold my breath while waiting to read what it has to say about, for example, the problems of urban blight that exist in most all of our nation's major metropolises--most of which have had liberal Democrats as their mayors for several decades.
Then, too, I doubt that this "liberal rag" will present any reasonable, Constitutionally-based articles on the problems we face with the ever-expanding challenges of illegal immigration.
You can read this rather useless mouthpiece of liberal nonsense if you wish, but as for "Yours Truly," well .... my refrigerator has some smelly fish that need to be wrapped to lessen the stench in my kitchen!! :BangHead: :tonofbricks: -

The cost of living down south is lower so of course wages are lower. What you pay for a measley apartment up north will get you a nice 3 bed home down south.
The op is far left propganda -

Born and raised in Alabama, lived up North for twenty years. We still go back several times a year for football and vacations.
Cannot wait to go back. -

What is the purpose of this dishonest, fact twisting thread ? Is this how Christians act. ? -

The difference is staggering. -
The site must know I'm a Southerner. It will not let me open the article.

One of the great things about the United States, you can live wherever you want to. No one has built a wall along the Mason-Dixon Line. If the south is so bad then why are populations increasing while the Rust Belt and California are seeing people move out?
Live where you want.
Lewis Grizzard, a great southern author and humorist, used to say:

Cost of living calculators are great tools to use for comparison if you're looking to move or if you're interested in the difference.
