It roughly correlates to cost of living, but Hawaii and Washington (which have high cost of living) are still pretty low in this measure.

It's just a combination of cost of living and unadjusted poverty rate. Hawaii and Washington have very low unadjusted poverty rates. California has very high cost of living.

That's all true, but in California, the Pot is extremely strong. There's a horde of young people that don't have jobs and are begging on the street. It's as bad a heroin addiction. This pot gives you schizophrenia symptoms too. Plus the dealers are cutting their weed with fentanyl.

NJ just passed a law banning legal sale of overly potent weed. It's an epidemic.

"New Jersey will cap total dose per package at 100mg THC, and the edible in each package must be demarcated into 10mg THC portions."

Also, it seems to be happening in NY too.

exactly, in general public transport in spain is top notch speaking from a german perspective. Shit just arrives on time, good and fast intercity raillines, suburban trains work well, and so on. There’s a lot of pop in spain concentrated around the bigger cities - and the land is huge, no need for the same density than eg germany. Bcs it’s less dense and I think I read their trains with goods / wares use different rails than their intercity trains, shit works better than in germany where every rail is working at or over its limit and shit is constantly late / cancelled bcs one minor issue creates a big chain of other issues. The things I said about spanish public transport can be extended to french one as well.

That's not an option for me; I can't drive due to disability and the closest center like that is over 2 hours away, so my partner doesn't have the time while hes working to do it. Plus, I can only work online (again, cause I'm disabled and cant drive) and many of the jobs options are just out of the question because many remote jobs still require you to live in a certain place, or have 3+ years experience, require a bachelors degree, don't pay the minimum wage in my state and therefore wont hire me, or are remote but still require you to go places (like someone who goes into stores shopping for people), or are literally just scams. I became disabled at 19 so my work experience is super limited. You can't just figure out someones situation based on the small amount of information I gave?

Yeah that's a good question - i don't know, a few of the connections came from others students I knew or had projects with from my undergrad, had one old teacher that helped refer, a few people I had actually mentored and helped them find jobs in the past paid back the favor, then a few were "friends of friends" that I saw worked at desired companies so I asked our mutual friend to introduce us.

I promise you none of that is the case. The problem is that I am disabled, and cannot drive, and live in a place with no public transportation. I can only take jobs that are 100% remote. However, many remote jobs still require you to live in a certain place, or have 3+ years experience, require a bachelors degree, don't pay the minimum wage in my state and therefore wont hire me, or are remote but still require you to go places (like someone who goes into stores shopping for people), or are literally just scams. I don't have much work experience since I became disabled at 19. Things are not the same for everyone, and I think it's shocking that you came to the conclusion you did even after seeing how many autorejects that OP got? Plus, there are so many people trying to get jobs that it's hard to even be considered.
