You’re living in lala land. For example, NJ is on par with Japan in terms of education whereas Mississippi is on par with Russia. I think NJ has the 5th most “diverse” population too. So you don’t get to play that race card. It’s about leaderahip and investment.
But education comes through in almost all areas in quality of life. Whether it’s income, life expectancy, employment, crime, health, blue states by and large have better outcomes than red states. And yes it’s all about education. If your state is t investing in education then your state is going to have a grim outlook.
Yeh sure. This is your monthly "New Jersey is the Mecca of the New World" routine.
