This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Utah is also a massive outlier when it comes to other Republican states.

Utah has a high percentage of its population with college education. It also has a relatively robust state welfare program compared to other Republican states. And, from what I've seen regarding comparative state politics, Utah's political leaders appear to be relatively uncorrupt and able to plan long term growth.

The politicians are controlled by the LDS church and you think they are not corrupt?

I said relative, not absolute.
