  You’re not wrong.

  Mississippi is typically ranked very low due to a history of poor public education standards as well as being a battleground for civil rights. Not much has changed.

  Fortunately for Mississippi, Florida man is working overtime towards the enshitifcation of their own education system.

    Growing up in Alabama we used to joke that the unofficial AL state motto is “Well, at least we ain’t Mississippi” and Mississippi’s motto is “Well, at least we ain’t Missis…AW DAMMIT”

      Ditto for Louisiana, it was always “well at least we aren’t Mississippi “.

        I’ve also heard “Thank God for Mississippi” as a slogan for any of the underperformer states

        Louisiana has the highest violent crime rate. It is the last state I would live in.

    Mississippi also just has really bad infrastructure. Like water is a concern in places there

  It's a race to the bottom, and Florida isn't here for the second place!
