#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?

I live in Illinois, and this ranking has it as 29 in Crime and corrections? Not sure what fantasy ranking system is used for that, but it obviously doesn't consider murder rate or gun violence as part of the crime category!!
And I am not sure what Kansas, Nevada and New Jersey did to be worse than us in government??? Those must be some messed up places to out pace us in the race to the bottom!!
