![]() Florida Welcome Sign 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. "When putting together a list such as this, there can be some temptation to defy popular expectations and go against the grain," the site said. “However, Florida’s awfulness resume is so staggeringly impressive that it couldn’t go any other way.” The state that broke most likely every prediction ever by topping the list was none other than Michigan. Despite Detroit’s bad rep, the site argues that Michigan has more coastline than any other state (except for Alaska). The site also mentions the undeniable beauty of the Upper Peninsula and its residents’ willingness to apologize for their creation of Kid Rock. California and New York rank lower than expected at numbers 9 and 13, respectively. Barely beating out Florida at the low-end of the list are Delaware and Ohio. Thrillist has (somewhat rightfully) dubbed Ohio the “Florida of the North.” Ouch. So what makes Florida so god-awful? Could be the humidity, the atrocious traffic, the fact that just a few years ago Floridians were smoking bath salts and eating people’s faces off. "I lived there for four years as a reporter in central and south Florida, and love it in the way that only a person who has gotten the hell out possibly can," Thrillist travel editor Sam Eifling told Newsweek. "Florida is where bath salts and Creed and the Great Recession all got their starts. It's where Donald Trump has chosen to hang out for seven solid weeks during the past year. I mean, c'mon." Florida’s rep has also been permanently damaged since that fateful day in 1981 when Miami became the birthplace of American rapper and Mr. Worldwide: Pitbull. But according to this reporter's experience, what the southern state lacks in overall quality of life, it makes up for in amusement parks. Florida owes all that it has to Disney World and Universal Studios. Despite its unfavorable ranking, Thrillist remains optimistic for the Sunshine State. It leaves Florida with a message of encouragement and positivity: “You were born for this. Embrace it.” https://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/florida-ranked-worst-state-us/ |

This makes me happy. I've been talking about how crappy this state is for years now. |

Of course we are. What pisses me off about that, not that I'm saying that's a wrong assessment of Ohio, just look at some of the dumb shit people do here, racist or otherwise, but I don't want to say I'm from Ohio now because people will automatically assume I'm a dumb, bad person if I do. Maybe not, but . . . that worries me for sure. |

I'm honestly glad I got out of Ohio when I did (March 25th, 2006). It's steadily went downhill and literally EVERY SINGLE PERSON I knew for the first 12 years of my life (well, aside from my immediate three family members) while living in Ohio have all either become strung out on heroin, were arrested for beating their spouse or children (or for doing even worse), quit attending school, and/or became diehard Trump supporters who despise all things LGBT and not-so-white.

Pennsylvania is 12th. It should be because of the fries in our salads instead of in our sandwiches and pierogies rather than pretzels. I'm surprised we didn't get dinged for how hard it is to buy alcohol here, though. |

And now we can add "deadliest school shooting since Sandy Hook" to the list of things we can be proud of here. Then again, the fact that it's not the deadliest, or even the second deadliest, American mass shooting in the last six months means that it's probably not just Florida that has something to be proud of. |
