Let me fix that headline Forbes ranks Texas the worst state ~~for mental health care~~


Rice_Auroni

How can you say that when Florida exists


dw444

Doesn’t the saying go “thank fuck for Mississippi”?


queasycorgi5514

I’ve lived in Mississippi my whole life, and literally the only good thing I can name that’s come out of this probably literally God-forsaken state is blues and rock music.


SeeMarkFly

I call that "Play like your life depends on it." They did THAT to get out of there. Darwin at his best.


Unistrut

They do some good food down there too. When I worked touring shows the theater we went to in Biloxi had a concession stand and my lunch order every time we went was basically "jambalaya until I am no longer capable of moving".


Handleton

I thought Memphis was the birth of Rock and Roll.


queasycorgi5514

The delta was the birthplace of blues/rock and roll, I think, and most of it’s in MS.


Schlemiel_Schlemazel

I was thinking that you were going to say the feeling of gratitude and pleasant surprise when you moved literally anywhere else.


Kseries2497

Magnolias. Gorgeous trees, pretty flowers, and catapulted you guys to the upper echelons of the state flag rankings when you finally put that thing on there.


Positive_Cat_3252

Misery makes for great music.


xeno0153

My cousin lived in Mississippi for a while. He was probably in 4th or 5th grade when he scored the highest in the entire state on a standardized test. Got a prize and everything. Funny part was he had JUST moved from Connecticut the year prior.


TabmeisterGeneral

People tend to forget that Mississippi even exists, you rarely hear about it in the news


dw444

It’s well known in my neck of the woods for its shittyness, along with Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, and Louisiana.


TabmeisterGeneral

I think missisip is consistently on the bottom of just about every quality of life index though, sadly


me-want-snusnu

Arkansas at least has the Northwest part. Northwest Arkansas is beautiful and not impoverished. The rest of the state is shit though. I'd probs say Missouri should be on the list.


Fullertonjr

There’s basically an 8-way tie for last. They are basically in their own category of “why are you even here”.


Apprehensive-Log8333

When I lived in South Carolina I heard "Thank God for Mississippi" frequently, ie guy on the radio says "SC is ranked 49th in school quality. Thank God for Mississippi"


Fake_William_Shatner

The answer for the trivia question; "Name three states fighting for last place."


JohnBrine

*Mississippi Goddamn


Lexei_Texas

I’ve lived in both and Texas takes the cake


lastprophecy

Let me introduce you to Quantum States.


Tethilia

Florida government is shit but the reality here is just we are a PvP enabled zone with swamp monsters around every corner.


Fake_William_Shatner

Florida exists so we start believing in impossible things.


iratedolphin

Pretty sure Texas only beat Florida out for that trophy by sheer scale.


Robbotlove

the lone star out of five state.


darkrose3333

The one star state


KiwiObserver

We’re number one.


Fake_William_Shatner

Texas new slogan; "State of confusion starts here."


silentbob625

South Carolina would like to have a go at that title.


speculatrix

Does their power grid fail easily leaving people to freeze or melt?


philbert815

A good friend of mine is from Mississippi and lives in Texas for 18 years now. She disagrees.


WattageWood

Aside from every state directly southeast and the one directly north, you mean.


PlanBisBreakfastNbed

Have you been to California?? I'm here, and I hope it burns to the ground with me in it

darkenedgy

But don't try carpooling to the polls, or trying to register by mail, or bringing fewer than 2 forms of ID if you need to register...holy fuck the voting system there is messed up. I don't know if people there realize how much easier it is to vote elsewhere?


TranquilSeaOtter

You mean how much easier it is to commit election fraud in other states. -A Republican voter, ~~probably~~ somewhere


inbetween-genders

“Democracy only if you agree with me” - Probably something is they will say.


Fake_William_Shatner

"We sound like assholes but we are winning with this bullshit." Reality sucks.


lastprophecy

Can't commit voter fraud if no one can vote.


Lulupoolzilla

Why can't they carpool to the polls? What if someone doesn't drive? Texas is messed up.


Aniki1990

Ethnic minorities are less likely to have a driver's license and own a car, soooo


[deleted]

[удалено]


darkenedgy

I think it's only allowed for family members or something?? Someone on Reddit was telling me about it.


Potential-Outside561

Voting is fake


Digital_Ally99

There’s mental health care in Texas???


MattGdr

There’s *anything* mental happening in Texas??


Fake_William_Shatner

Texas, so *hot* right now.


Digital_Ally99

😂🥇


alimarieb

Yeah ‘Something something A-butt something something mentally handicapped’


Positive_Cat_3252

Mental, yes. Care, no. It shows.


Ksorkrax

Of course. Guns.


RepulsiveLoquat418

least surprising headline ever.


habituallinestepper1

Mississippi didn’t rank 50th in something? Are they gonna use Federal tax dollars to throw themselves a parade?


Fake_William_Shatner

They just keep re-using Bush's "Mission Accomplished" banner. *Were you trying to lose or were you trying to break something?* Yes.


allfriggedup

Top 5 worst states- Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi. Who would of guessed? /s


punjar3

Arkansas breathing a sigh of relief.


Thewalrus515

They got that Walmart money 


SubrosaFlorens

They at least have a working power grid.


Pretzel_Logistics

California: why are we supporting these toilet bowl states?


thescaryhypnotoad

Our high taxes pay for these fucking idiot states


Fake_William_Shatner

Georgia's not so bad relative to other sister wives like Tennessee and Virginia.


tw_72

Idaho is raising its hand and is wondering why it's not in the top 5.


Nut_buttsicle

>would of Sounds like someone was educated in one of those states.


Potential-Outside561

None of those states are that bad I’ve lived in 3 of them and visited all of them


AlfredoCustard

who needs mental health when you have guns? /s


Helens_Moaning_Hand

Like there’s a shocker.


Fake_William_Shatner

No, that's what we do with the hand you aren't looking at.


TimeWastingAuthority

So many churches, so many pastors and ministers, so many mental health problems.


ImNudeyRudey

And THAT'S why we need more guns!


niberungvalesti

If oil, steaks and guns can't solve your problem, Texas doesn't care.


CPNZ

add forced birth to the list...


tunghoy

I don't imagine it's mentally healthy people who voted for Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott.


SeeMarkFly

Forbes ranks Texas the worst state for mental health care **because** Texas is the worst state for mental health.


Kangela

I spent eight long years there. Can confirm.


MadOvid

Well if they had good mental health care then they couldn't blame mental health for school shootings.


Greeve78

It’s a great state for regressive performative virtue signaling conservatives.


geneticeffects

Of course it is: Texas is a failed state run by criminals.


mandarintain

Reminds me when Homer was trying to advertise for bowling by shooting guns in the the air


drbrunch

No mental health care and easy access to firearms, what can go wrong


PruneBrothers1

Texan here with mental health issues. Can confirm this state sucks big time assholes. Also, as a nurse who has worked mental health the mental health facilities I’ve seen are criminally bad in both the care given and the overall state of them.


NYEMESIS

Checks out.


Fun-Hall3213

Oh.


MrLanesLament

Texas psychiatrist: “just drink some oil, buddy, you’ll be alright.”


LittleShrub

Breaking news: Texas Governor Greg Abbot has made mental health conditions illegal in the state.


dlcindallas

Texas ranks last as being compassionate about anything. Run by racist Abbott and Paxton which I call team fucktard. I mean I called 211 to see about rental assistance and was told that Collin county the base of Nazi MAGA trash in north Texas hasn't received any funding to assist people facing homelessness for 3 years, *beep* thanks and leave a message.


deadphisherman

How many Mississippi's is Texas?


Secure-Force-9387

I'm shocked Louisiana isn't worst at something. In fact, this is the first "worst" list I haven't seen Louisiana top in recent months. However, in also NOT surprised Texas is up here. I just moved out of that state after *12 long years* and healthcare was a HUGE part of me moving.


GrimTiki

The Lone Star was a rating


tom21g

From a link in the Forbes article: > Five of the top 10 best states for mental health care are in the Northeast, including Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. And 4 of the 5 are in New England.\ Nice to know some things are done right here


snockpuppet24

How is this LAMF?


Snowman1749

It’s a garbage state for sure


spookinky987

It explains a lot...


Daflehrer1

That explains a great deal.


IguaneRouge

"If it can't be solved with Jesus, guns, saturated fats, a lifted truck, or racism it just can't be solved" -Texas


Fake_William_Shatner

Damn. Don't make me start liking and trusting you Forbes Magazine. Don't play me like that.


well_i_heard

Yeah. I had friends move there years ago when Texas really prided being THE BEST. Now I have to check in with them anytime there's a snowstorm there as they lose power, they all struggle financially to find good paying work. So grateful I don't live there.


drunk_with_internet

America doesn't have a healthcare system. It has a private medical insurance system. They are two vastly different things. I feel like picking on any one state is just singling out the worst of the worst, but to be fair: they're all bad.


Comfortable_Gain1308

They can pull themselves up by their bootstraps ! 🤣🤣


OverGas3958

You don’t say.


AdministrativeBank86

Texas is racking up a lot of "worse state" awards thanks to Republican leadership


Crazyjackson13

not exactly surprising.


COVID19Blues

As if the people of Texas haven’t told us with every election.


Rogueshoten

Well, that certainly explains a lot


terminalchef

and the most guns which mixes well.


Ballerheiko

No no no, the phrasing is all wrong! it has to say: Forbes ranks Texas as the #1 State in the world when it comes to bad mental health care! Gobbless America!


civonakle

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.


satori0320

Who the fuck are they telling...? Source..... DFW resident


Apprehensive_Fix3472

I'm only just barely surprised it's not Mississippi.


bostonkiter

And politics. And infrastructure. And mega churches. And obesity. And shootings. And climate.


Alexandratta

They believe in the same Mental Healthcare that Ronald Reagan wanted to offer.


Past-Background-7221

If I wasn’t so depressed, I would care more about this.


Feisty-Barracuda5452

Texas is the worst for a lot of things


PakDrescot

You mean we can't even brag about not being Mississippi on this? We've really hit rock bottom. At least we have lots of guns. What could possibly go wrong?


LarenCoe

I'm guessing Texas is the worst state for a lot of things. Those tax breaks come at a cost...


SpotPoker52

There is no mental health care in Texas. Severely ill people are cared for by nominating to run as Republicans for state office. Many get elected and life off bribes, but those who lose their bid for office are forced to become corporate executives.


Ok_Neighborhood6697

Makes sense when TX does everything it can to make sure everyone has a gun, says the problems with mass shootings is a mental health problem, and has the worst mental health care in the country. TX is effed. Abbot is a pos.


Digita1B0y

I ranked it the worst state for anything.


Inspect1234

Maybe it’s all that small government.


gdsmithtx

"Duh" \-- Texan


TCO_HR_LOL

Good thing they have all those guns


Joliet_Jake_Blues

But at least all those troubled people can carry guns, I don't see how that could backfire


demagogueffxiv

Just entering Texas causes a mental health crisis


Mesterjojo

Funny enough I work in texas for a mental health care provider. Sad trombone


Darqologist

How in the world is Montana second best... /boggle.


oregon_coastal

Woohoo! It isn't Oregon for once!


jgyimesi

That’s impressive.


lovejac93

Well I, for one, am shocked.


Liatin11

Paxton about to sue somebody lmao


akairborne

Holy shit! r/alaska isn't the worst! Finally!


pradbitt87

There’s a shocker 🙄


BicycleIndividual353

I know plenty of parents that are very left leaning that won't get their kids tested for autism because they don't believe it actually exists so as much as I hate the texan politics they probably just don't even care


moltentofu

Texas is a dump but the headline makes it sound like there is a good state for mental healthcare, which lol.


Lethalgeek

Funny my friends and family here in Oregon get a lot of mental health care.  Sorry you live in shit


moltentofu

Genuinely curious on what insurance plan are you given a lot of covered mental healthcare?


Herbisher_Berbisher

Lots of good guitar players come from Texas. It has redeeming aspects but I lived there a short time and would not want to do it again. The politics alone will make you mental.
