As the
legislature of the failed red state voted to defy
the United Nations, deny the Anthropocene (and to support Taiwan against Chinese tyranny?)
Reuters announced that the
indigenous peoples of the state are
the nation's most desperate:
The poverty rate for American Indians and Alaska Natives in Rapid City, S.D. (50.9 percent) was around three times the rate in Anchorage, Alaska (16.6 percent) and about 30 percent or greater in five other cities most populated by this group (Gallup, N.M.; Minneapolis; Rapid City, S.D.; Shiprock, N.M.; Tucson, Ariz.; and Zuni Pueblo, N.M.), according to American Community Survey data collected from 2007 to 2011 by the U.S. Census Bureau.
It sure has been a
crappy month for South Dakota Republicans so it comes as
no surprise that the
state is among the nation's least happy.
