We have a winner!

Note: Please forgive me for being so late in posting the results of our last Caption Contest. My life had gone through great changes in the last year, making the big exodus out of a blue state to a red state where I am very happy. But my daily routine changed, and I need to return to a routine of regular posting on this blog, which I will. Once again, please forgive!

***************************************************************************

We have a winner FOR OUR 263rd CAPTION CONTEST!

Our writers dutifully voted for their #1 and #2 captions. Each #1 vote is worth 4 points; each #2 vote us worth 2 points.

And the clear winner, with three #1 votes, totaling 12 points, is:

Brian Heinz!

Here’s his caption for the video below:

Little Lord Fauci Roy,
tried to throw the ball,
but got booed by us all,
we honor him now for all to see,
how much money he’s made off thee.
He said the jab was good and yes you should.
His lies got better but people got deader,
so now we say, don’t go the Fauci way
you might not be here another day.

Auntie Lulu and Captain America are in second place, each with one #1 vote and one #2 vote, totaling 6 points:

Auntie Lulu: “What kind of nitwit would propose that Anthony Fauci receive any kind of “honorary” award?”

Captain America: “Me and Bill Gates are gonna kill all you bullies who used to call us names, and never let us play in any reindeer games.”

greenworz, GregB, and vett are in third place, each with one #2 vote and 2 points:

greenworz: “I’ll clap and cheer when Fauci is hanging by the neck for his contributions in using “gain of function” technology to make the covid virus more harmful and aiding the pharmaceutical companies in formulating the maiming, deadly and depopulating injection formulas.”

GregB: “The modern day ‘Angel of Death’ and protege of Dr. Joseph Mengele, Dr. Fear Fuhrer ‘Foul-Chi’ is greeted in Seattle by both ‘woke’ and ‘awake’ baseball fans.”

vett: “I suggest giving him a blindfold, a cigarette, and a 21 gun salute.”

WELL DONE, EVERYONE!

Congratulations, Brian Heinz!

Hardest-working and laziest states

 

WalletHub just issued its report on the hardest-working and laziest states in America, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau , the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other organizations.

The criteria for “hard-working” include average workweek hours, employment rate, idle youth rate, leisure time, and volunteer efforts. The report also weighs in factors such as commute time and amount of people with multiple jobs.

Americans are hard workers, putting in an average of 1,791 hours per year as of 2021, according to the World Economic Forum. That’s 442 hours per year more than Germans work, but 337 fewer than Mexicans do. Even when given the chance to not work as hard, many Americans don’t. Americans forfeited an average of 4.6 paid days off in 2021.

Based on WalletHub’s criteria, here are all 50 U.S. states ranked from hardest working to least. I added the red and blue colors, using the updated 2022 list of red and blue states, referring to states whose voters predominantly choose either the Republican Party (Red) or Democratic Party (Blue) for presidential and senatorial candidates.

  1. North Dakota
  2. Alaska
  3. Nebraska
  4. South Dakota
  5. Texas
  6. Virginia
  7. Oklahoma
  8. Kansas
  9. New Hampshire
  10. Wyoming
  11. Georgia
  12. Colorado
  13. Tennessee
  14. Maryland
  15. Hawaii
  16. Utah
  17. Indiana
  18. Minnesota
  19. Alabama
  20. Arkansas
  21. Louisiana
  22. Iowa
  23. Mississippi
  24. Wisconsin
  25. Idaho
  26. Vermont
  27. North Carolina
  28. South Carolina
  29. Missouri
  30. Maine
  31. Montana
  32. Kentucky
  33. Arizona
  34. Washington
  35. Florida
  36. Delaware
  37. Nevada
  38. Pennsylvania
  39. Illinois
  40. California
  41. Oregon
  42. Ohio
  43. New Jersey
  44. Massachusetts
  45. Connecticut
  46. West Virginia
  47. Michigan
  48. New York
  49. Rhode Island
  50. New Mexico

As you can see, 8 of the 10 most hardworking states are red states, whereas 8 of the 10 laziest states are blue states. Why does that not surprise me?
