Michigan Is One Of The Most Sinful States In The Country
Hello, fellow sinners! Apparently Michigan is one of the most sinful states in the country, so we are all sinners.
WalletHub.com put together a ranking system for every state in the country based on the Seven Deadly Sins and Michigan ranks 9th out of the 50 states. The reason why Michigan ranks so high is because of our Jealousy, Anger & Hate. That's because Michigan ranks high in theft cases (jealousy) as well as violent crime, bullying, etc. (anger & hate).
Michigan also ranks in the top 15 for Vanity and Laziness which is based on beauty salons per capita and spending on personal care products (vanity) and number of hours spent working or exercising (laziness).
Let's check out how the other states stack up.
