Wouldn't it be, like, 50 failed states? 🤔

The term state at the international level usually refers to a nation-state. Nations generally have different terms like state, territory, province, etc for their internal divisions, hence state can refer to both meanings.

Yes, but some of the states are more failed than others.

Don't forget Mississippi.

Florida really saddens me, because environmentally it is such a great place (of course there are exceptions as always).

The weather is 90% awesome. The scenery is beautiful. The pace of life is nice. The roads are smooth.

And it was getting more progressive too.

Unfortunately that shithead desantis has ruined it.

Come check out Oklahoma! Where you can be both the Secretary of Transportation and head the Turnpike authority (at least for a year, until the attorney general gets off his ass)! You can opt out of complying with state law (the Open Meetings Act) if you really really want to bulldoze thousands of family homes to build a toll road and don’t like that people have opinions on it.

There’s no guarantee that your kids teacher is even background checked, much less that they are qualified to teach the subject they are teaching! Thousands of dollars in COVID funds earmarked for education went to buying Christmas trees and TVs. (State superintendent and Secretary of Education also got to be positions held by the same person - with two paychecks!) We also are trying to be national leaders in ignoring the first amendment and establishing a religious online charter school!
