We are behind New Jersey when it comes to education. That is nothing to be proud of.

How TF are we behind NJ? Seriously? NJ? My family is from northern Jersey and they're dumb as rocks, they're a bunch of Qanon terrorists. Then the rest of Jersey is just the armpit of NY.

NJ has an extremely high population of scientists so it tracks. Tons of smart rich people, esp around Princeton.

IMO the hardest part of growing up in CT or NY is accepting that Jersey is, at least on paper, better.

Not true. In the quality rankings CT is #2 behind MA.

These are all that matters. Forbes tried to do some stupid “safety” rating this time around too which has arbitrary methodology. I wouldn’t put any weight in that bit.
