Maybe those really really conservative mayors will someday discover there are public health policies that can help their people hold on to their teeth a little longer. Hope springs eternal.

Much of it boils down to poverty. But poverty is not immune to public policy. The rankings of poverty change over time. For example, in this country we had this long period of convergence between the South and the rest of the country. This is not too surprising. Convergence tends to happen...

I could pick on Arkansas or West Virginia instead if it makes you feel better. The point basically is outcomes are bad. Partly because of bad public policy. It isn't that teeth are inherently more prone to falling out in certain places. It doesn't have to be that way.

The choices voters make are highly relevant to all sorts of outcomes: health, longevity, dental security, income, rates of suicide, violent crime, etc etc. And the outcomes tend not to flatter voters in conservative parts of the country. But they have their liberty. It is revealing that...

You invited the comparison between the choices made by highly educated people and the choices made by others. Sorry if it doesn't come out as you would like.

make America more like Oklahoma (which btw has a higher homicide rate than NY city)

Our least well-educated states are indeed a beacon for the rest of the country. The ones with the lowest proportion of college-educated adults: Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Think of how fabulous our country would be if we emulated them.

Science will continue to get done. There will be some geographic changes. Quite a few countries are stepping in to recruit researchers from American institutions. The effect of something like this is very long-term in nature. The lab my daughter works at in London sees this as a great...

Y Actually Stalin killed for ideological reasons. See kulaks and gulags.

Looks like you are also ignorant of what the Nazis did to homosexuals.

I would say an actual genocide is a good deal worse than rhetoric.

Except the Nazis actually carried out a genocide. Small detail.
