You mean there's some measure of achievement by which New Mexico is not at the bottom of the list? Reply
New Mexico — Paragon of Democracy. Now if we could just do something about teacher salaries, incarceration rates, food insecurity, children being raised by their grandparents… Reply

thank you dahling, I was able to dig around and find it myself after a bit…didn't exactly jump out. Now here's something we should make Americia great again with- assuming it ever was great when it came to voting/democracy. Reply
Interesting that Louisiana scores so high. Wonder if it's because they're corrupt no matter what side of the aisle they're on. Reply

Our embarrassing and depressing slide into Banana Repubicism continues apace.

Elevation?
That's not an "achievement" in the standard sense.
"altitude sickness cases multiply near Continental Divide"
New Mexico was actually 5th-best at 73, which would be near the top in the world!

Still seems nice from here in Ohio though.
technically, 60 is not below 60 (Virginia)
It will be soon enough tbh

I know I won't be going to work. Shut it down!
I suppose I'll just help shoveling the *ouke* off the streets.
Maybe I'll get a jerb so I can quit on January 20th!
