It’s funny, because alabama (or maybe a part of it?) has (had?) the highest density of Ph.D.s in the country because of research and government (I think a NASA facility). I wonder, with our current bullshit about research funding and our government’s anti-truth approach to things that don’t make companies money, if there is already a notable reduction in educated folks in these already education-barren locations.
I was researching for a best man speech and saw that statistically West Virginia takes the title but hey, they’re close behind I’m sure [no pun intended]
Haha, it’s a fair question. The bride was from Virginia and the groom was from Norfolk in the UK which is renown for a bit of family lovin’ so I felt the connection needed highlighting :)
They are literally known as “incest capital of the world” and think they have any right to criticize anyone.
I’m an Okie. My great great grandfather raped and impregnated his daughter, which no one had a real issue with or did anything about.
But you can be damn sure any gay man in eastern Oklahoma at that time was going to end up in a ditch.

Huntsville
If it wasn’t for NASA’s Huntsville facility, Alabama’s aggregate IQ would be in negative numbers.
They have a laughable GDP on the world stage. California could be it’s own country and be in the top 5
California is basically a glorified scam call center calling itself big tech, so thats not a flex.
That’s your opinion man, there are much more sectors than tech.
But those arent responsible for that insane GDP
Rough breakdown, information sector is in the third place.

Ok I’m curious, how do incest statistics work their way into a best man speech
“We’re here to celebrate the union of my best bro with his fiancee, who is statistically my step-sister and his step-mother…”
