Yes, the scores in the image are largely accurate according to recent data from sources like WalletHub and the Commonwealth Fund, though exact ranks may vary slightly by source.

The data compares Oklahoma and Massachusetts on several quality of life metrics:

Category Oklahoma Rank (out of 50/51) Massachusetts Rank (out of 50/51)

Education/Test Scores ~44th - 50th 1st - 5th

Healthcare ~47th - 49th 1st - 3rd

Quality of Life ~43rd - 46th 1st - 3rd

Details on Accuracy

Education and Test Scores: Massachusetts consistently ranks as the top state for education and test scores. Oklahoma ranks near the bottom, often placing 50th in education quality or test scores.

Healthcare: In recent 2025 reports, Massachusetts ranks first in overall health system performance and access. Oklahoma is ranked near the bottom, often around 48th or 49th in healthcare metrics.

Quality of Life: Massachusetts has been ranked as the best state to live in, excelling in quality of life metrics. Oklahoma generally ranks in the bottom 10 for quality of life.

The post also mentions that in the 2024 election, Trump won every county in Oklahoma and Harris won every county in Massachusetts, which is accurate.

A couple of things:

1. Like everything else, it depends what you use AI for, and how you use it.

2. If we don't use AI, and every tool available to defeat the Fascists, they most CERTAINLY will use that tool. I refuse to unilaterally disarm in the face of the threat they pose.

Now, it can do original work based on its own AI thinking and originality.

…I’ve been fighting my entire adulthood to make life better for them and ALL Americans by voting for the Democratic Party.

Just sayin’. And thank you for the heads-up on a great post, red dog 1!

Washington, D.C, which actually isn't even a state. Sighted on the wall of a bathroom in 1969: "Don't pull your dick out in the middle of a screw, vote for Nixon in '72."
