When plebeians do something that makes sense to them, but not to him, the "Intellectual Yet Idiot" uses the term “uneducated”.
Now do healthcare and quality of life
The hidden costs of health care are largely in the denial of antifragility. But it may not be just medicine—what we call diseases of civilization result from the attempt by humans to make life comfortable for ourselves against our own interest, since the comfortable is what fragilizes.
Less Is More
For instance, a small number of homeless people cost the states a disproportionate share of the bills, which makes it obvious where to look for the savings. A small number of employees in a corporation cause the most problems, corrupt the general attitude—and vice versa—so getting rid of these is a great solution. A small number of customers generate a large share of the revenues. I get 95 percent of my smear postings from the same three obsessive persons, all representing the same prototypes of failure (one of whom has written, I estimate, close to one hundred thousand words in posts—he needs to write more and more and find more and more stuff to critique in my work and personality to get the same effect). When it comes to health care, Ezekiel Emanuel showed that half the population accounts for less than 3 percent of the costs, with the sickest 10 percent consuming 64 percent of the total pie.
You can’t come at these people with facts.
Damn, did know that. Carry on Massachusetts and the Oklahomans fail to learn and continue to eat shit.
Second in American health care. ..
Obviously. What else would it be when comparing two American states.
a decent amount of americans seem to think they are the global best in every category so probably not obvious enough even.
I hate having to explain this to people when I talk about the insane cost of healthcare in the US.
"but US healthcare is the best so of course it's going to be the most expensive"
No, you moron. It's the exact same procedure by equally qualified doctors using the same equipment.
meanwhile here it's generally not expensive, but we can't seem to come up with a reasonable way for foreign doctors to gain canadian credentials and continue to have waits anywhere from hours to coming the next day instead
There couldn't be any other factors at play here, it's clear as day. Red is bad and blue is good.
Stellar work, truely impressed. I can tell whoever whipped this up is highly educated and well respected. What a gift.
In case you're wondering why you're getting down voted, it's because you didn't even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.
I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.
You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.
I appreciate your input, but I'm not confused. The post and the comments are something I'd expect to see on reddit, mostly pathetic. Not a whole lot of critical thinking, oversimplification of complex topics, drawing conclusions to dunk on the "poorly educated", nevermind the vast differences between the states that could better account for the results being associated in the meme.
Im don't mind the 👎 I'm not here for a W by this crowd.
You really didn't have to throw in the "seem to be intelligent" part but that very conscientious of you.
I'll go ahead and fix it for you though and be the asshole.

Who said bad and good? Those are words that you brought to this thread.
The term "poorly educated" not supposed to be interpreted as bad? The sad dog by Oklahoma not supposed to be interpreted as bad? The point of the stats are to show relative good bad based on some metrics, not to be interpreted as good or bad?
If I'm misunderstanding the post maybe others are as well, why don't you do us all a favor and explain it so that we can better understand.
This type of meme isn't helpful when people already think the Dem Party isn't for working class people and elites only lol. Trump listened to people issues about material needs even if he lied. It still worked. Harris and Dems went on the whole time not addressing issues with the economy. Adopting a real working class agenda and free college would do wonders and putting resources to getting the crazy folk away from Education.
Are Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh not "working class" cities? I think there are a whole lot of people who would like a word with you for writing them off.
Almost as if working class people don't have to be stupid.
Ever been to MA?
Crapton of working class people there. I mean a lot. It is possible to have top-tier education and health care yet have working class people in the same State.
Being a rural state does not by default equate to “working class”. If anything it probably means more people per capita on government assistance or in poverty.
Working classes don’t need healthcare or education? Quality of life is irrelevant? A strong economy doesn’t matter? One of the highest minimum wages doesn’t affect working class? I
Free college (depending on income)doesn’t matter?
