Ah yes. Quality of life means nothing. If you’re lucky the teen parents might drop out of school and get dead end jobs. If you’re lucky they might find a group to scapegoat for their problems and become good Trump Republicans. We had better not do anything to help them raise their kids though because that would be socialism.
On the other hand we could support them having a choice and give them options with their life. Then maybe when they’re older and have some stability in their life they could choose to have children in that was their preference.
Now on to the most important topic... where is the best college football played? Haha
college football is a religion in the south
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
And only 25% of the worshippers will be allowed in the temple
shoulda listened to Coach Saban and Big Al
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I feel like there's a common root cause as to why some states consistently rank higher in health, education, wealth, etc. The difference is cycles of poverty. Think about it. Wealthier people have better access to healthcare and education, they usually were taught better by parents how to handle money and the importance of education. Conversely, those in poverty have less access to healthcare and education. They also don't know how to teach their children to handle money and often don't value education so they don't instill a value of education in their children. People born into wealth tend to be wealthier and those born into poverty tend to stay poorer.
More rural and more agrarian states have horrible problems with people being trapped in a cycle of poverty. As do states with larger minority populations. And this is a problem that has been going on for well over 100 years. It's a difficult problem to fix and one that will take generations.
