Nothing new. Southern states have always ranked at the bottom. Too many pious folks preaching, too much poverty, too much obesity, etc.

I figured being stupider made people happier. I guess not.

It's not surprising that you're happier if the government has your back.

The question is whether or not that is a good thing, not whether or not you are happy.

A teen who does nothing but have sex and eat jello all day is probably happy but the one who is struggling through college to learn how to program robots is probably going to contribute more to planet Earth

but to the individual being happier is more important than contributing to the planet

The South is more rural, has many areas that are much poorer than the national average and has much much poorer access to healthcare facilities due to state government hostility to the ideas of expanded public healthcare this isn't a very shocking conclusion.

Which is why we have and need a government in the first place.

And why the measurment of "Who is happiest" does not equate to "Who is the great at governance."

I'm sure Greece was very very happy once upon a time.

But those unhappy states also receive the most federal aid.

It's sad that government dependence creates such sad people. You see the same thing in the poor urban areas.

I've been saying it for years that bureaucrats try to make poor people modern day slaves.

The powerful make the weak serve them.
