and i'm gonna go out on a limb and say they didn't judge the market correctly. Otherwise there'd be a bank there.

I'm from Mississippi, the state is racism. If you think people from CA hate MS because of black people, you're lost.

Bored maybe. But creative too apparently

Yeah, they were personal investment advisors, not a bank.

Coincidentally, they were the place I interviewed at one time with a group that wanted a data person to help solve their performance problems. When I told them they should let the database handle auto incrementing key generation rather than having a single component be called every time they needed a new key in any table in their database, they said they needed their performance fixed but not that way.

This is a great explanation, thanks!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 4 people with a combined century running financial institutions are able to judge the market. The entire reason they wanted to open one was because they thought there was very much a market for it

With Mississippi so low on pretty much every 'good' criteria, I'm not sure racism would be the reason.

Black people don't even have majority representation in the state legislature, so they aren't even running the state.

We just had a family member pass away from this. I wish you the best of luck and most positive vibes in the universe. You can do it!💓

Ps. It was really smart to make this for family. You should share with your care team too! :)

I keep seeing maps like these comparing states to states, and i'm seeing a pattern

Same for NY, the metropolitan area lists 99k AHAHAHA no.

Only reason I know Elmira is the prison....

Having ny and nj and white plains all grouped together definitely skews them numbers...

FWIW, my wife is a certified regulatory compliance manager, with her practice based in Atlanta. The bank failures in Georgia were overwhelmingly state charters, not federal and we had one of the hottest sub-prime real estate markets in the country. The state of Georgia has/had remarkably lax state regulators.

Survivorship bias. You only see the banks on every corner in places where that type of thing can succeed.

A county with only 20,000~ people in the middle of nowhere where everyone who lives there is rich so likely has strong relationships with a big bank is just a dumb place to set up.

I’ll be darned. Y’all didn’t blame it all on Desantis. I’m shocked.

Unfortunately, Mississippi doesn’t have banks.

They also have by far the highest percentage of black people. I always assume people who trash Mississippi have just a hint of racism

I think the most common term is "Continental US" or "contiguous US". The term "lower 48" is used pretty much only by Alaskans afaik. Why do we call it that? No idea, probably because it sounds better than "lower 49" and everyone around here knows what it means. I've never heard "Continental 48" before.

I don’t think she got it all in advance either and became exasperated. She began asking questions and taking notes. Then she’d select points in the timeline and focus on them as a goal, like, “in 18 months I’ll be able to go to the pool and swim.” (For a point in time after the reconstructive surgery.) It gave her a sense of when she could return to normal activities, and to plan and look forward to it.
About 18 months later we went to a spa for her birthday and she swam laps for the first time since the diagnosis. It was a wonderful day. She made it through the hurdles and is doing well. I wish the same for you.

I just came back from Cumming. My whole family did. Together.

I was not looking for criticism, but I also wasn’t “just wanting upvotes.” I shared it because it has been helpful to my loved ones to see my treatment plan visualized, and it other patients who have seen it have expressed how helpful it was for them when trying to understand which treatments to expect. I hoped that it would be helpful to others by sharing it in a more public space, and based on the comments and DMs I’ve received, others have found it genuinely helpful.

I am baffled that anyone thinks someone going through cancer treatment is IN ANY WAY motivated by fake internet points. I hope you never experience a life threatening illness, but if you do, perhaps you’ll be inspired to use more energy helping fellow humans and less energy scouring Reddit looking for opportunities to make snide comments.

What would happen if you normalized for the number of data points in each income bracket? I'm finding it a bit hard to compare the shapes since some seem to have a lot more data (assuming I'm reading it right).

So they’re last in having homeless people. Yet another category they’re dead last in smh
