Opinion of West Virginia

[Storebought]

Take away Indiana and there's quite a telling pattern here.

For me, it's not the selection of states that are voted horrible, but the approval of states like Nebraska and Idaho, that reflect negatively on the Atlas Forum.

As for West Virginia, it is a post-industrial toxic waste site with a calamitous population, but it's still better than Idaho.

In what ways?

Idaho is almost as poor a state as WV, and would be just as much an industrial brownfield as WV if large swathes of it weren't under the direct management of the US government. I don't see that what makes ID intrinsically better.
