I think of it more like…wisdom doesn’t inherently come with age. It does if the individual is open to it. Some people grow old and stubbornly stick to their ways, refusing to pay attention to the way the world is changing around them. You gain wisdom from experience, but only if you’re willing to reflect on that experience with an open mind.

Wisdom doesn’t come when you’re stuck in your ways LOL you have to be open minded to be wise and intelligent

No, it doesn’t. It comes with intent and action to do and be better. There are way too many old people who have learned nothing in all their years and continue to work against the betterment of life for those coming after them.

I suppose everyone finds their own path. You are right, that some people just consistently stay set in what they were taught as children. But I personally from a country that’s pretty liberal, and I myself used to be extremely liberal. But forming my own opinions instead of job trend hoping has made me conservative

Older white populations typically vote red, which is what both of those states are.

On top of the south having poorly educated / poorly funded education + a poorer population… it’s also largely white and Christian which tends to vote republican or is normally right leaning. Of course that doesn’t show up in the bigger cities bc those typically have younger people, younger people aren’t as Christian/stuck in their ways, more funding for education, etc which shapes a more left leaning population.

are you actually from the south?? I’m not but I am from rural appalachia, which is a pretty similar situation. When #3 said poor they meant poor. Just because things are cheaper that doesn’t mean people are actually making a proportionate amount of money to pay for everything they need. Lack of education is one big reason, so people can’t go for the higher paying jobs, and people in the south and rural areas have historically been taken advantage of. They get underpaid and overworked.

I never said people aren’t poor in cali…different states have different problems. You guys are struggling with some of the same problems but for different reasons. But you seriously can’t believe that cali poor is comparable to Southern/Appalachian poor…

In blue states yall typically have higher access vs the south. Of course there are poor people everywhere and pay is going to be different depending on the state and the area. However, cali poor is nowhere near southern poor.
