Solidly near the back of the pack in every measure, but won't stop talking about your belt buckle.
While I'm not a Texas fan, most of those rankings are pretty 'squishy.'

#50 in power grid reliability? I've lived in TX several times over the years and never found the power grid to be less reliable than anywhere else in the country. And the US is far better than most of the rest of the world for power grid reliability.

That's just one of the rankings I don't care about. There are a whole lot of other bogus measurements that went into those rankings.

The top 4 on that list: MA, NH, MN, ND. They're at the bottom of my list because I've got to buy a snow shovel to live there. ND is #4? Really? https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings
