RE: Most content vs most miserable states
I also notice that instead of polling actual people they have useless metrics to determine if someone is content or miserable. Income, weight, and education have little to do with quality of life and happiness.

I will live longer, be skinnier, and make more than most of you. But I will always, always be colder. Freezing, even.

I'm in Alabama, and I'll take that trade-off right now.
