"quality of life" "happiness indicators" etc have all been debunked as legit measures these are questions best answered qualitatively
It's weird that hordes of people move to the places that supposedly have the worst quality of life. I bet whatever state this study says has the highest quality of life is actively losing population to Tenn.
If it isn't being grazed it just becomes part of the great corn-soy desert. Even if that wasn't the case, grasslands need grazing to function properly.

Wouldn't it be nice if instead of presidential libraries they used the money to give people land for presidential silvopasture? $830 million. Could buy 200,000 acres. 2500 eighty acre farms

I know other people like this and I dont mean to offend but I HATE parody accounts. What's the joke, exactly? That you lie and bait people into thinking you're telling the truth? That other people are in on the lie? Seems lizard brained
