I was without power for 3 days during the big east coast outage in the early 2000s .... I read the new Harry Potter novel by oil lamp and it has been smooth sailing since. Actually we had 3 days without power after superstorm sandy. So over 35 years ...... probably a half day a year
Kansas the worst run state? Hey, we don't have people sleeping on and crapping all over our streets and we don't have people rioting every night, defacing and destroying buildings and property. I'll take that "worst run" over what I've seen in those other "garden" spots. And depending on which part of the state you live in, we do have liquor by the drink. Contrary to popular opinion, evolution is taught in most of the state anyway. And here we know that the people that wear the black masks are the bad guys, something leadership elsewhere apparently never learned at the Saturday matinee. And I have a sister that lives in Oregon. She, her husband and their kids are all firearms trained and have carry and conceal permits. Here we don't bother with permits for our right to carry and protect our family and property. Worst run? Maybe, but to each his own, something some of those "better run" utopia's have forgotten.I can only speak from experience. Here are the States I have lived in (for at least a year) in my life. Oregon, Montana, New York, Kansas, California, Texas (born there). I am not including states/countries that I lived in for six months or less due to Army training or deployments (Kentucky, Georgia, Germany, Iraq/Kuwait). California wasn’t my favorite (that would be Oregon and Texas), but it was far from last. HOA, wanna guess what I think the worst run state has been in the last 25 years? Why don’t we have a “Kansas sucks” thread? Oh, right. No movie stars talking out of their ass. Most of whom came from places like Kansas. Sorry not sorry. (I have a fever, and am waiting on my test results, forgive my grumpiness)
You assume I am reasonable...
