I haven’t looked at those numbers because they are actually irrelevant in terms of standard of living. Regarding obesity, Minneapolis-St. Paul was ranked the fittest city in the USA but it has no relevancy to their economy or standard of living. Also, get a load of the top 10 most literate cities in America: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_the_United_States. Atlanta’s #5, but I don’t see any cities from Maryland, unless you want to claim DC.
I’m not your pal, friend. Maryland? No wonder you have an inferiority complex. Actually, lower taxes, lower overhead, and being a right to work state drives costs down, allowing companies to sell for a lower price. It’s not “poorer,” it’s having a higher transactional value of cash. Maryland is a forced union state, meaning wages are inflated from labor union negotiations, driving up cost of goods. It’s not as simple as supply and demand.
If you really want to get into the numbers, you have to adjust the GDP to a per capita value because the Northeast has a higher concentration of people than the Southeast. Also, if you want to discuss average income you have to adjust for cost of living, as a, say, $60,000 per year salary goes further down here than it does in higher tax, higher union wage, higher cost of doing business states. Income numbers mean nothing if cost of living is lower and quality of life is higher.
Actually if you look, the South (TX, OK, AR, LA, MS, AL, TN, GA, FL), even if you don’t include the states I did not mention like NC, SC, VA, and KY, is generally in step GDP-wise with California and the Northeast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP

He’s SOL if she has a latex allergy.
At least pick attractive people. That was heinous.

Spiking the football. That’s an obama move.
Good point. Totally slipped my mind.

I’m disappointed. I thought it would be scotch and sushi.
That is all opinion with absolutely no facts. You suck at being a troll, at least say something funny.
Oklahoma is borderline, but Texas is for sure the South.
Insecurity? I was recounting a conversation I had with an Ole Miss alum.
She should have posted it on Facebook. No one under 55 reads the newspaper anymore.

You say that with 100% blind bias. I can respect that.

We’re actually a great academic school and research university. Business, pharma, law, ag…we’re definitely up there.
Viral marketing at its best. I want to try some of her chicken.
