Florida is now one of the most financially stressed states in the country, second only to another Southern state, according to a new report by WalletHub, which defines financial distress as having credit in forbearance or deferring payments due to financial difficulty.

“When you combine data about people delaying payments with other metrics like bankruptcy filings and credit score changes, it paints a good picture of the overall economic trends of a state,” WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said about the findings.

    Seems like it would end up as 3+ countries. You have like Cascadia + CO/NM (maybe AZ?) and New England + MN/WI/IL and then Magastan separating them. Hawaii could just mahalo on out of this bullshit. Maybe Alaska just says “fuck this, eh?”
