\nCNBC survey mocked after top 10 \u2018worst places to live\u2019 are all red states<\/a>
CNBC faced a wave of online mockery Monday after releasing its annual quality-of-life rankings, which exclusively placed conservative red states in all 10 spots of the \u201cworst places to live\u201d \u2014 even as official U.S. Census data shows some of those states are leading the nation in population growth.<\/p>\nCritics quickly took to social media to call out the outlet for what they alleged as blatant liberal bias embedded in its ranking criteria.<\/p>\n
Counting down from the tenth-worst place to the first, CNBC ranked the bottom ten states as Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Missouri, Utah, Georgia, Louisiana, Indiana, Texas, and Tennessee.<\/p>\n
All 10 states are Republican-led and voted for President Donald Trump in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cShocking. All deep red, conservative states. But somehow California and New York \u2014 with the highest taxes in the country, insane cost of living, and endless progressive policies \u2014 didn\u2019t crack the top 10?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is correct. Please believe this. Tennessee is HORRIBLE. You definitely shouldn\u2019t move here\u2026,\u201d conservative Newsmax contributor Chrissy Clark wrote with sarcasm.<\/p>\n
The corporate media outlet took direct shots at local conservative legislation across the board.<\/p>\n
Tennessee was dinged for the state\u2019s \u201cbathroom law\u201d \u2014 which requires transgender individuals to use facilities corresponding with their biological sex at birth \u2014 as well as a law barring localities from passing their own local antidiscrimination ordinances.<\/p>\n
The outlet also took aim at a joint resolution signed by Gov. Bill Lee this past April designating June as \u201cNuclear Family Month,\u201d while also noting it had low rankings for crime and drug deaths.<\/p>\n
Utah, ranked sixth-worst, was hit for its $7.25 minimum wage, low availability of childcare providers and air quality.<\/p>\n
Georgia, the fifth-worst in the survey, was explicitly called out for offering \u201cfew protections for LGBTQ+ people, making it one of America\u2019s least inclusive states.\u201d<\/p>\n
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom immediately seized on the study, taking to X to point out that every single state on the list leaned red.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Quelle<\/em> shock, said nobody at all. Left unmentioned by anyone involved here is why it might be that most if not all of these supposedly godawful states are seeing such YUGE surges of in-migration from Shitholistan cities\/states like NYC, Shitcago, San Fran, Seattle, and LA, among lots of others. Could it be that those aforementioned transplants know something that the CNBC scribes don’t?<\/p>\n
Update!<\/strong><\/em> Hawkins responds:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \nYes, the worst places to live are where everyone is moving and the best places to live are actually the left-wing socialist states everyone is moving out of or something. pic.twitter.com\/vxzUyJs5A4<\/a><\/p>\n
