Only 1 State Is Less Patriotic Than New York, Study Says

[Madmallard]

Turns out the home of the Statue of Liberty is no beacon of patriotism. New York is the second-least patriotic state in the nation, according to a new WalletHub report that ranks a neighboring state dead last.

The personal finance website determined the most and least patriotic states based on 13 indicators of military and civic engagement. The ranking is based on figures from a range of sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau and the United States Elections Project.

The Empire State placed 49th overall, thanks in part to its low military participation. New York has the fewest veterans per capita, with just 53.8 per 1,000 civilian adults, and the nation's smallest share of civilian adults in military reserves at just 0.19 percent, according to WalletHub.

What do you expect from a state that shits on the rights of it's legal citizens but gives illegals a shit load of free stuff

 

[Darth]

That's a pretty stupid yardstick for "patriotism."

New York also struggles with volunteerism — the state had the nation's fourth-lowest volunteer rate and the second-fewest volunteer hours per resident at just 18.64, the report found.

I disagree with this statement, I volunteer to LEAVE as quickly as I can

Coming from the guy that bitched about military benefits and post service perks.

Not that I disagree with your point.

You'll have to refresh my memory. Sounds made up.

This is a horseshit study.

The only criteria I agree with 100% is Percentage of Military Participation - of course Massachusetts is dead last.

Other criteria I could agree with ?

Percentage of Adults who own Guns.

What does military participation have to do with patriotism?

I remember hearing a story of a country that was founded from a revolt directly against the military. That seems pretty patriotic to me.

Freedom is not Free.

Therefore a Military that is willing to die for it is necessary.

A country of cowards is a country ripe for the picking.

Bullshit, you have in the past whined about such things as preferential hiring practices towards veterans, preferential treatment from LE and once you even complained about some of the benefits service members receive such as the GI Bill.
I didn't say anything at the time but I took note of it.

Seems like kind of a low standard to judge whether a group of people or a State are patriotic?

they all left NY because of the weather .. or was it FUAC .. they need better data sources ..

The ranking is based on figures from a range of sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau and the United States Elections Project.

Census Bureau .. door slam .. all u need to know is how many .. and that's all ..

May not be a very accurate measure of patriotism, but if you're writing a click bait article you don't care.

It is an easy statistic to look up, compared to something like number of houses flying the flag or something. I am sure that's why it was used.

You know something? Florida is not on the list. I go every year to visit my parents. I see more flags here in NY on homes than I’ve ever seen in Florida. Way more.

I imagine upstate would rank pretty highly on a reasonable "patriotism scale". NYC not so much.

And since they outnumber us by a lot, the whole state is probably as bad as this article claims it is.

Sure you did.

Anyway, as to the crux of that , yes, I do disagree with those. Relevance?

That is outspoken every day about how shitty this state is? You got me.

Just pointing out that it was predictable you would take issue.

But you still cash the checks.

 

[Darth]

But you still cash the checks.

Direct deposit.

And I also already paid for those checks, so it's like getting my money back.

Still looking for that relevance.

I just told you. Given your past grievances I knew you would come whining about this too and you did. That was my only point.

"That's a poor yardstick for patriotism", which others agree with = whining. Got it.

Snowflake.
