      My condolences. I don’t take red states as a “us or them” but more of a failing of the country to prevent any place to fall to that level.

      Easy solution; move out of Mississippi. I did it and never looked back

        It’s not that simple to just pack up and move elsewhere at the drop of a hat. They might have friends and family there that they don’t want to leave behind, and moving can be very expensive and exhausting particularly if you have a lot of stuff. It’s especially hard to move right now with rent and housing prices through the roof.

        Just telling people to move doesn’t help, because if they had the means and wanted to, they probably already would have.

          With all due respect, I know you’re right in many cases, but fuck that. If you’re street smart, you can get the hell out and figure it out from there. All you need is two grand, a positive personality, and appreciation for those who help, you can last a long time in this world
