There are just over 2,000 DRIs in the entire US, 46 of which are women. Alabama is leading the list with >300 inmates per 10M inhabitants. The only states w/o any are Wyoming and Oregon.

    Hey, we have NASA in Cleveland too (GRC)! but, I agree, we also largely suck. There are also some very good people there too (Alabama). It’s all a bad system.

      Maybe it is isolated to a particular region but last time I checked there were a lit of smart people in Alabama. Everyone from farmers to aerospace engineers are really to innovate.

        Oh, of course we have a lot of smart people in all of our states. But, unfortunately, Alabama has been consistently at the bottom overall in education.

        Alabama is the 49th dumbest state in the country.

        If it weren’t for Huntsville, Alabama would be a land of wild ape men
