Fair point I guess.
I took a look at the first ranking I saw. You a free to have a look for studys or other objective sources that come to a different conclusion.
I don’t wish to invest that time right now, but I’ll be happy to be proven wrong by a better source if you want to look for one.
Also, the higher the minimum wage, the lower the ranking.
Did some digging, you are spot on. Please see my edit of the original post.

The category is a bit wider than that, but yes, low taxes seem to contribute.

Edit:
Did a little digging after some flaws have been pointed out by @Silentia below. This source is not neutral.
https://ballotpedia.org/ALEC_Rich_States,_Poor_States_Report
The American Legislative Exchange Council, a nonpartisan organization of state legislators, releases an annual report entitled Rich States, Poor States: ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index, which analyzes economic competitiveness in each state. The report is authored by Arthur Laffer, Stephen Moore (chief economist at the Heritage Foundation), and Jonathan Williams, the director of the Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force at the American Legislative Exchange Council
The Heritage Foundation is a conservative 501©(3) nonprofit think tank founded in 1973 and based in Washington, D.C.[1] In 2013, The Atlantic described the organization as “the de facto policy arm of the congressional conservative caucus.”[
Might be that they will, but for now they are doing very well on an objective scale, beeing placed on #1 for education and economy compared to the other states and beeing on #9 overall.

If this is able to hold will remain to be seen.
but humans are evolutionary badasses
How so?
Sounds abut right (wing). This is the kind of shit I see coming for a lot of Europe, including German (where I am located). The funny thing is that they can’t stop talking about “Eco Fashism” here and how the Greens are trying to dictate their every day live (like what to eat and what to fuel their cars with) and how that is a left green dictatorship. And then shit like you bring up here the second they get elected.
Well, yes, but it is also more costly to ignore climate change and deal with the growing number of extreme weather events, draughts, etc, then to invest money into green alternatives and work towards a climate neutral economy. Yet that is, largely, still what we are doing right now globaly.
I feel you, we have that coming for us in Germany within the next 10 years.
Considering what we have done and are doing to the planet and life on it, we should have better just put that rock right back where it was.
Yes, yes. We decided to relable this picture on our last annual Vegan-Council.
Joke aside, a plant base diet seems to be better for your arteries.

Amd more scientific
🙄 Müssen wir echt jeden Müll von Reddit mit hier rüber holen?
But eating 370,000 calories per day WOULD change your body drastically.
Wait… You can’t transfer money with a banking App???
Seems to be about 250 months or 21 years for black people.
Somewhere there is a hyper capitalist parallel Universum where buddhism is the mainstream western religion and this stance is enforced rigorously.
Thanks, I had to think of this one too.

Ants and a couple of Insects I guess. Also Bacteria and Viruses.
Well, obviously also most Bacteria. If we are speaking more sentient live then the answer is: mot of them. Birds, Mammals, Insects. It might take a generation or 10 to get them adopted to their new envirment, but almost every species. Is able to adopt to their evolutoany niche.
Most of them?
Technology. Yes, that’s a human thing at last, at least at the level we use it.
Various species have methods of communicating, from bees dancing to each other to whales having distinct regional dialects. Yes, humans have added some complexity to it by introducing technology, but that’s realy what it comes down to. Technology.
Technology, once more.
So your point is that humans have learned to use technology, therefor they are badass.
I disagree. We are living in an absolut singularity tight now. Humans have learned to use finate resources (oil for example) to amplify the energy that we have at our hands. A single humans beeing today can use energy that would be equal to thousands of men’s work every day.
Since we are drawing on finate resources there are two ways how this will go: we will learn to exploit other, less finate sources of energy (say, fusion) and the groth path will continue (to the stars, eventually). Or we will run out of energy or ruin the livable world by doing so and will fall back to an earlier level of development. Since most of the resources needed are used up we will not be able clime back up. At this moment we are on the second of those paths.
And in our way in getting here we have started the sixt mass extinction, accidentaly started turning the climate into something less sustainable for humans and polluted every single space on this planet, including areas like the deep ocean that we have never even touched physically.
Humans are not badass, in my opinion. We are fucking cancer.
