#2 with people on Medicaid as well. 33% of the state

State with most people who don’t know what “leads” means

Mississippi is #1 in poverty rate. Louisiana is #2. West Virginia is #4. Meanwhile, Mississippi in #3 in food assistance. Louisiana is #2. West Virginia is #47.
Speaks to culture.
How so…if anything it speaks to the source this report from… also to education, literacy levels and civil access in West Virginia if true… because clearly a large part of the population can’t fill out simple forms if true

I've been to new Mexico about 20 times, some for work at Los Alamos, other times for outdoor activities.
It is a beautiful state. It is a sportsman's paradise.
It is also poor. The native population has an intelligence problem. Many are still stuck in 30 B.C. .
The state has tons of natural resources but most of the population isn't motivated to act on them.
And that is the main reason the state is poor.
And the political situation is that if you are not a native the counties' political structure will force you out. It can be ' knives out' situation. Many do not want outsiders to come in and make changes.

I’m surprised by West Virginia. I thought a lot of Appalachia would be on food stamps.
Posted on 11/1/25 at 12:07 pm to WhiskeyThief
Most as a percentage or total number?
I find it hard to believe states with populations under 4 million have more total people on SNAP than California, NY, Texas, etc

Go to the grocery store on the first and this will be the least shocking thing you will ever read.

No source data provided. I have a hard time believing West Virginia is ranked #47 for citizens drawing food stamps.
And Kentucky at 23 is suspect.

Have seen a target or Walmart. Obesity and bonnets
Posted on 11/1/25 at 12:39 pm to WhiskeyThief
little surprised that West Virginia doesn't rank among the highest.
Posted on 11/1/25 at 12:40 pm to WhiskeyThief
How is WV 47?
Posted on 11/1/25 at 12:41 pm to WhiskeyThief
Those low % foot stamp states sure like to tell us how to handle our business.

I’m not buying it

This right here. If there’s at least one in front of you, you aren’t leading.

New Mexico must be a real shite hole if they’re out pacing us
