That's pretty much everywhere at this point. Minimum can't attain the average cost of an apartment in any state in the country, since it hasn't been rosen in over a decade. That was true before the pandemic and is doubly so now that rampant inflation has kicked in.

The Midwest states are essentially the top of the bell curve when it comes to quality of life stats. Maybe life isn't as flashy as the coasts, but there isnt the absolutely ramoant poverty like you find in Appalachia or the deep South.
Typically what happens when you rank 51st in most quality of life stats (which usually include DC alongside all 50 states).
Doesnt have to be Eastern Europe. Plenty of examples of rich people finding ways for their kids to avaoid the draft during Vietnam and WWII in the US.
I loved the series, but i think the books make the main characters much more relatable while the series makes the secondary characters really shine. I've been reading all the books, but have thrown other things in between like LoTR, The Foundation, and Hornblower which has made me excited to start the next Expanse book.
Finished Tiamat's Wrath last week and have started Foundation's Edge. The Expanse has been excellent, but i am starting to find The Foundation to be a bit tedious. Second Foundation started to just feel silly with all the psychic abilities just thrown in all of a sudden and all the characters are starting to blend into each other as non-descript 1950's Americans. That being said i am enjoying Foundation's Edge a lot more than Second Foundation but am lookin forward to finishing it so i can move on to Dune Messiah.
Crippling public schools with meaningless busu work is a happy side affect for the people that came up with these laws. There has been a GOP led war on oublic education for the past 30 years
That won't even cover the epidural for the delivery in the US
