This will have been drawn from the work of Erin Reed Though its worth noting her only firm, DO NOT TRAVEL, so far, is florida. Though the rest are of course still dangerous.
It sucks but those other states don’t matter. Culinary wastelands full of poorly run operations. They had some nature but they paved it over.
Culinary wastelands? Cajun/Creole cuisine is some of the best this country offers. Barbecue. Fried chicken. Come on now.
Cajun is A level, but let’s not pretend the south has a monopoly on BBQ and Fried Chicken in the same way as Louisiana and Cajun. And when it comes to southern seafood, Maryland is right there on the map.
Fine. You get one city and the rest is wasteland. Now lie to my face and tell me that your flyover state small town has options beyond traditional diner and pizza.
Shit, I’m as lucky as they come, straight white male, and I don’t want to visit any of the missing states, except for Savannah, Georgia, which is just a nice time.
Upstate NY probably not so Trans friendly either, but always gets lumped in with NYC. It’s really a wasteland outside of maybe the finger lakes region. Saratoga/Lake George are all right too.
Upstate NY is also pretty pointless. You get to the TPZ bridge and best turn around.
For all the fucked up shit in the South, the food is amazing.
It is pure diabetes and heart disease
Those are probably true but ‘left behind’ people make bad choices at the ballot box. We kind of had this in the UK where all the poorest constituencies in the North of England voted for brexit.
Like chicken and egg. Do bad voters give you bad policy or does bad policy give you bad voters? It is morbidly fascinating to watch people who have so little figuring out ways to have even less.
