Qualifiers for the list include life factors (such as crimes rates, environmental quality, and health care), inclusiveness, voting rights, reproductive rights, protections against discrimination, and the quality and availability of childcare.
@brianrlawson well them including reproductive rights definitely didn’t help our standing.
everyone my age that I know has either left already or is working towards leaving the state in the next 5 years and I don’t know if it’s going to get better by then to entice the ones still here now to stay.
@brianrlawson To make progress we need to get rid of the corrupt, incompetent, hateful people in the state legislature. But then I go and look at the Indiana Democrats web page and see this, and I despair.
“We’re rebuilding Party infrastructure from the ground up so we can hit the ground running in the 2022 elections.”

Maybe I’ll read the article someday, but still a proud Hoosier and happy to live here. There are certainly problems we need to fix. Let’s work together to fix them.
I’m a proud Hoosier, too - lived here my whole life. I’m sick to my stomach of what it’s become.

Welcome to Mastodon !
I see you joined just a few days ago.
I hope you like it here.
@brianrlawson well deserved unfortunately 😒
Used to live in Indiana. While I enjoyed some things about that part of my life, sometimes to the point of nostalgia, I’m glad I moved out. The state felt like a shadow of its neighbors.
