Without even looking, lemme guess on which states.
Are they the shit holes with low education rates and high rates of rampant stupidity who suckle the teat of all the blue states paying for them but then complain about it?
Also states with very shallow gene pool…
shallow gene pool.
Likely Oklahoma too - current GOP platform wants to outlaw 5G.
They mentioned shitholes full of idiots.
IDK which states either. But I’d venture a guess, that sorting states by percentage of MAGA voters, would have the 8 states in the top 10.
One of the states is Florida, which is ranked #1 in the U.S. for higher education.
Louisiana and Tennessee I expect it from… But Desantis has done a number on Florida.
Who is ranking Florida #1 for higher education? Even before DeSantis, I only heard of Florida schools being part schools.
A lot of it is tied to “nice” weather and lower tuition costs. But the University of Central Florida is one of, if not the largest University in the U.S. and focused on engineering and computer science. Embry Riddle is the largest Aerospace/Aeronautical school in the world I believe. Florida State University and the University of Florida are likely where the party school stigma stems from, but there are 77 accredited Universities in Florida.
The tuition I’m sure effects it a lot:
Yeah, I guess that’s an issue with trying to aggregate college quality at the state level. Both your list and US News & World Report have Utah and Georgia surprisingly high on their lists.
If you actually just look at top schools you’ll see New York, California, North Carolina, Pennsylvania are listed a lot.
Not bashing Florida, just not where people typically think of elite colleges/universities. That being said education is such a personal thing that the best school for someone is not necessarily the best “ranked” school.
K-12 schools and universities in a state can also be very different in terms of quality.
No, bash away lol. When a states governor commandeers money from the populous and doesn’t let the legislature know and spends chunks of it on advertising to manipulate public opinion and get them to vote one way or another they should be hated on.
Also that “nice” weather is usually a giant steam room at 5:20pm every summer day because there was a giant storm that flew through and rained from 5:10-5:15pm while the sun somehow never even went behind the clouds so it’s hotter then hell and you’re wet and sticky. It’s likely half the reason you can still legally ride motorcycles there without a helmet because it’s absolutely miserable to have moist cushions forcing your sweat and dirt back into your pores. It’s like putting slimy bologna on your cheeks holding it there and trying to call it a joy ride. So you skip the helmet, get caught in a giant downpour flying down the highway with rain stabbing you in the face like needles for fun.
At least they’ve got their swamp puppies to keep them company because their dog already got eaten by the swamp puppy when you tried to take them fishing.
I didn’t find a complete list from my scanning of the article, which is disappointing because I could really use some confirmation that my state isn’t on there
Do that many people not realise what condensation is?
You vastly overestimate the US education system as a whole.
“Condensation can only form on glass”, while not in a conversation about contrails this is a response I got from an adult human who graduated high school. He was standing 3 feet away from a steel pipe covered in condensation and dripping onto the floor.
Quick, somebody tell these politicians about a highly addicting and dangerous chemical known as Dihydrogen monoxide with a kill rate of 100%. Ban DHMO! Save America!
/s
Yes, every terrorist in the history of mankind consumed DHMO! Ban this stuff immediately! /s
I heard that they found DHMO in hurricane Milton!
… this article is kinda shit.
Says 8 states but doesn’t tell you which ones, just that Tennessee and Florida are 2 of them.
Says 8, tells us 2.
WHO ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO POINT AT AND LAUGH???
It probably isn’t hard to extrapolate what the other 6 states are if you know that Tennessee and Florida are 2 of the 8.
Water is a chemical and crop dusters do actually dump other substances from aircraft. So, in a way, chemtrails are real. Just not in the way the conspiracy dumbasses think.
STOP VOTING FOR IDIOTS
I would suggest stop voting completely. Use non aggression principles, have a lot of guns for self defense. Stop paying involuntarily extortions/taxes to the criminal organization. The largest criminals organization (the government) won’t stop spending and getting further in debt. And taxes will increase further until UBI arrives. 😂
Not voting is the reason you guys are in that mess down there.
You think they give you a choice to pick the ruler who will really represent you? Quite delusional. How about full anarchy (life without rulers) and full self responsibility?
No i agree with that first sentence don’t get me wrong, but like the choice was Trump or not Trump… And a lot of people did nothing and let it happen
Also, are you saying not voting is how you get a life without rulers?
It is all about the mindset. Apply Non Aggression Principles and apply aggression only when you have to. I feel safer being surrounded with people who might have concealed guns on them all the time. In such society you think twice before doing something stupid and you start being more responsible for your actions.
Taxation is definitely a theft. You’re taxed from your salary, then you’re taxed purchasing goods or services, then you’re taxed for ownership of the property and then federal government (regardless which party) organize the wars and send billions (doing money laundering) to genocide people in Ukraine and occupied Palestine. The debt is growing together with percentage of taxes. Mango Mussolini (Trump) created another additional tax for you and me called tariffs. Everyone forgot already about the recent scamdemic COVID19. They all were doing it and a couple of presidents who didn’t want to participate were eliminated (Tanzania, Haiti). The country borders are imaginary lines where you need to ask for permission and a stamp in the passport then go through Nazi checkpoints (TSA) to be humiliated. Also they now started taking biometrics (that I declined so far). I’m sure it is not being done for your safety. They silently create a massive surveillance state around you…
“No victim - No crime” is my slogan. I said it once to a cop when he performed an act of aggression pulling me over for safely passing a couple of vehicles. He tries to say something about the law, I told him that I can write another law with my chicken scratch on the toilet paper. He understood me and agreed. Took my registration and driver’s license, checked, returned and let me go even without a verbal warning.
My bad I thought I was conversing with a sane person, but this all reads like a bunch of brain dead ramblings of a sov-cit type person and I’m sorry but I just don’t have the time to wade through all of that.
Didn’t even answer my question
Yeah, that’s a lot of dumb ideas. Not paying taxes puts me in prison… all the rest of that goes out the fucking window after that. Your plan sucks.
If you alone do it then yes, you get in trouble, but if only 10% of population will do it then things might change really quickly. Watch Larkin Rose on youtube.
Stop fucking flying so much then. You could always put those planes on the ground, on tracks. Imagine that.
Those 8 states are a big contributor to the current shitshow
That reminds me of my favorite rock that prevents tiger attacks. I’ve had it with me for years and it works perfectly. Yet, whenever I bring it up, people make fun of me.
I remember that scene from an episode, too. Just not which episode it is. Pre season 10 I think?
Probably because you’re making references to a ~30 year old episode of a cartoon, as if it’s your own joke.
Oh, I forgot that every joke in the universe is supposed to be used just once.
We live in a post-reality political climate.
Conservatism was never a part of reality. The Dems just decided to join them in lala-land, and apparently the voters too…
Conservatism is just reactionary post modernism, nothing is real but their personal visceral reaction to some event, and historical events themselves are given innate mystical properties such as things “existing in a vacuum”, and the lovely “its just natural” analysis. Democrats are just really good slow walking reformists owned by capital interest.
If it wasn’t so sad it’d be hilarious that all these states are banning imaginary ways to control the weather while at the same time gutting the EPA and air population controls, so real ways to influence the weather.
Bigfoot is not allowed at Thanksgiving. Him and frankenstein’s monster are still beefing.
All forms of condensation must be exterminated!
Anyway, the reason they want to push bullshit laws is that bullshit laws can be used to punished whomever they like precisely because they are not founded in reality.
And it’s not the onion.
Is this the new South Park season?
At least eight states, including Florida and Tennessee, have now introduced … legislation to prohibit “geo-engineering” or “weather modification”
So, nothing to do with chemtrails and specifically addresses geo-engineering and weather modification. Cloud seeding is a thing and dispersing particulates to reflect sunlight has also been much discussed. These states simply don’t want it happening in their state.
"Fesi testified on the Senate floor April 28 during debate over his bill that he believes “certain agencies within the federal government are doing cloud seeding and geoengineering.” In an interview Friday, the senator was asked what evidence he had to support his claims.
“Look up in our sky,” Fesi answered.
In an interview, Fesi later said he sees “just tons and tons of cloud seeding” above his backyard and described it as “all of the stripes across the skies.”

These bills are fueled by conspiracy theories and idiocy.
There’s companies openly doing this already. One idiot not being able to cite it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Stop gaslighting people.
The point was not about if it was happening or not. It’s about how these examples are used as fodder to keep the conspiracies flowing about chemtrails.
If you mix just the right amount of conspiracy with a little bit of fact, you get to keep all the votes from the crazies. It’s super easy to use big words like “geoengineering” and twist them to imply that hormones are mixed with jet fuel.
The point was not about if it was happening or not.
The title of the article literally claims it’s not happening, which is false.
The title of the article is referring to “chemtrails” as false. (You are blocked now too. So no point in responding.)
The invocation of chemtrails was specifically on the part of the author of the article. If you actually read the details, the laws are restricting geoengineering.
And it’s worth commenting so your ignorance doesn’t stand for anyone else reading.
Yeah, the bills specifically mention X, and The Guardian says ‘something completely different is fake, therefore you should shit on the bill’. It’s dishonest and makes people not trust The Guardian and the media in general.
This is, unfortunately, the same observation I’ve made in all the chemtrail-beleiving people I know. I zig in discussion, they zag, I realize they’re taking small-scale cloud seeding operations as proof of both contrails being chemtrails and, often enough, humans fueling hurricanes for the leftist agenda. These people also tend to deny human ability to affect the planet’s climate. The underlying logical interpretation of these states’ bills is exactly why they’re upheld, meanwhile, their constituents are still thinking about contrails.
They mix the mind control chemicals straight into the jet fuel. The pilots don’t even know they are complicit in making chemtrails.
/s
We’re going to need real geoengineering, so ofc Republicans are trying to ban it… Literal fucking death cult.
