The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

When you vote blue, you bleed red. That’s the only fact that really and truly has a liberal bias.

Gosh, according to Dope1, life must be horrible in blue states. People dying left and right.

And yet, when one looks at life expectancy by state, something looks out of whack with Dope1’s perception.

Top 10 states life expectancy (with age):
Hawaii 79.9 Blue
Massachusetts 79.6 Blue
Connecticut 79.2 Blue
New Jersey 79.0 Blue
New York 79.0 Blue
Minnesota 78.8 Blue
New Hampshire 78.5 Blue
Rhode Island 78.5 Blue
Vermont 78.4 Blue
California 78.3 Blue

Worst 10 states life expectancy:
South Carolina 73.5 Red
New Mexico 73.0 Blue
Oklahoma 72.7 Red
Arkansas 72.5 Red
Tennessee 72.4 Red
Kentucky 72.3 Red
Louisiana 72.2 Red
Alabama 72.0 Red
West Virginia 71.0 Red
Mississippi 70.9 Red

And we’re not talking about a couple of months difference here, we’re talking a bunch of years.

When you vote blue, you bleed red?

When you vote red, you dead.
