Yeah? Do they give a lot of weight to "women's reproductive rights"
and "gender affirming care"?

They may, but I refer to US News & world Report, a legacy hangover from
the days when actual journalism was occasionally practiced.

Wake-boarding, mountain biking, boating and baseball are preferable.

Minnysota has actually devolved structurally from when McCarthy and
Mondale whored out for those frozen faced leftards.

Ventura was a brief glimpse of common sense, very brief.

And while it presents a more realistic grading, this ranker has a few
clunkers as well:

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/best-states-to-retire

Best States for Retirement
Florida 32.04
Georgia 30.37
Michigan 30.19
Ohio 29.79
Missouri 29.78
Kentucky 29.25
Texas 29.07
Tennessee 28.85
Pennsylvania 28.1
South Dakota 28.06

1. South Dakota
South Dakota ranks as the best state for retirement in the United
States. The average cost of living in South Dakota is 4% below the
national average, including healthcare costs. South Dakota has one of
the highest numbers of arts, entertainment, and recreation businesses
per capita. The average annual spending for a comfortable retirement is
about $60,998. Additionally, South Dakota is the third-most tax-friendly
state in the U.S. with no state income tax, which means Social Security
benefits and other retirement income are not taxed.

2. Hawaii
Hawaii is the second-best state for retirement in the country. Although
Hawaii has the highest cost of living in the United States, the average
household income for people ages 65 and older is 33.8% above the
national average at $71,997, and healthcare costs are 11.4% below the
national average. Hawaii also has a beautiful landscape that many
retirees consider to be their ideal retirement location.

3. Georgia
Georgia is the third-best state for retirement. Georgia’s cost of living
is about 7% below the national average and has the sixth-lowest average
cost for a retired couple in the U.S. Georgia also has favorable tax
conditions. Social security is exempt from state taxes in Georgia and up
to $35,000 of most types of retirement income for those between 62 and
64, and up to $65,000 per taxpayer 65 and older ($130,000 per couple).
Combine all of that with warm summers and mild winters, and Georgia is
an ideal retirement state.

4. North Dakota
North Dakota is the fourth-best state for retirement in the U.S. The
cost of living in North Dakota is just 1% above the national average,
but average healthcare costs for a retired couple are below average at
$414,455. The annual spending for a comfortable retirement in the state
is about $61,222, and it is considered tax-friendly, with state income
tax ranging from 1.01% to 2.9% and property taxes are 1.01%.

5. Tennessee
Tennessee ranks fifth for the best states to retire, especially for
budget-conscious retirees. Tennessee’s cost of living is 12% below the
U.S. average, and the state does not levy state income taxes, helping
retirement income go further. Tennessee’s annual spending for a
comfortable retirement is $55,425, the seventh-lowest in the country.

6. Alabama
Alabama is the sixth-best state for retirement in the United States.
Alabama has mild winters, beaches, and golf topped off by a cost of
living that is 13% below the national average. Alabama’s highest state
income tax rate is only 5%, and Social Security benefits and income from
traditional pension plans are exempt from income tax. Additionally,
Alabama has the second-lowest property taxes in the U.S. at a rate of
0.42%, and all homeowners 65 or older are exempt from state property taxes.

7. Virginia
The seventh-best state for retirement in Virginia. Unfortunately, the
beautiful scenery and charm of Virginia come with the cost of living 7%
above the U.S. average; however, the average income for households 65
and older is $59,869 to cover it. Additionally, healthcare costs for a
retired couple are below average at $408,950. Virginia does not tax
Social Security benefits, and those 65 and older can deduct up to
$12,000 per person.

8. Florida
Florida is the eighth-best state for retirement. Florida has the highest
share of seniors of any state in the U.S., comprising 19.1% of the
population. Florida has warm winters, miles of beaches, and the cost of
living is about average. Florida has no state income tax, estate tax, or
inheritance tax, and the state does not tax Social Security or other
retirement income.

9. New Hampshire
New Hampshire ranks ninth for the best state for retirement. New
Hampshire has a cost of living that is 18% above the national average;
however, this is partially balanced out by the tax situation. New
Hampshire does not tax Social Security benefits or other retirement
income and does not levy any sales tax. Additionally, New Hampshire
ranks fifth in the country for the best senior healthcare.

10. Utah
Utah finishes the top ten list of best retirement states. Utah is a
great state for retirees who love to be outdoors and stay active with
five national parks, five national forests, and 43 state parks. Utah
ranks second out of all 50 states for the overall health of its senior
population. While the cost of living is slightly above average (4%
above) and Utah isn’t tax-friendly, it has the third-lowest poverty rate
in the U.S. for people 65 and older.

Improper use of the word.
Lachrymose is an adjective.
You need to follow or proceed it with a noun.

Re: How I score YouAll.

I'm the top Nym, always.
After my blacklist is applied, I sort Nyms based on who replies to who.
After the best 19 Nyms, I mark every Nyms' posts "ReddIt".

Recently, I silenced 100+ Nyms this way.

What's your idea of high journalistic standards in 2024 -- the Fox News
channel which paid the largest known defamation settlement in history
for knowingly lying about Dominion Voting Systems?

The laughable rightwing lie sites we see quoted in here daily like
GatewayPundit, Brietbart, WND, etc with headlines as crazyass as the
National Enquirer?
