Almost certainly Mississippi
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_God_for_Mississippi
I mean honestly if the words worst and state are in the question the answer is almost always Mississippi.
Idk I think Florida is going to give them a run for their money soon. Insurance can deny claims and coverage more easily now and FEMA's been crippled.
I live in Florida and travel Mississippi several times a year. Night and day. And I'm in the panhandle where we're poor, still head and shoulders above MS.
Was telling my wife that Pensacola airport is two or three times the size of Jackson's, at their capitol. FFS, they can't even manage clean water, in their capitol.
Alabama is actually pretty and pretty nice. You could teleport me to about any road in either state and I could call it for MS or AL. You can tell when you cross into MS because your tires start rumbling. Was wondering on the last trip how much those people pay for tires. Bet it's big business!
Last weekend's trip was fucking weird. Maybe I simply hadn't noticed before, but the people were no longer friendly. Probably because I have long hair and my wife is Asian. At least black folks are still nice enough! Which flipped since I moved to the South 20 years ago. They looked at white people with deep suspicion.
Mississippi is the worst state I've been to. I can't imagine living there.
Mississippi doesn't have enough character to be the worst. It seems to be bad in every way, but it doesn't have the flair for actively destructive stupidity that make Florida and Texas what they are.
Really enjoyed learning about NY queer culture by watching Paris is Burning so thought I'd check out Mississippi Burning to see how marginalised communities express themselves in the South... oh
“Paris Is Burning” is such a fantastic film.
That was set in the 60s. Mississippi isn't nearly that bad. It's bad, but it ain't Mississippi Burning bad.
Oh yeah, sorry that was a bad joke. Those films couldn't be more different!
Hey! You got me looking at Paris is Burning!
Phew thought we'd have to settle our dispute by vogue-ing!
It's not up for debate. It's Mississippi.
We drive through several times a year, starting in Florida to Alabama. The poverty and ignorance is fucking heart breaking. Always glad to get back into the Alabama part of the trip.
