Looks like a lot of people moved from states with cold winters to states that are warmer. A major downside is that population increased a lot in states that already have young people too dumb to pass the military entrance exam, and these are states that have the lowest rated public education already. Population growth won't make it better. But at least they vote Republican and will have more seats in the House, further reducing the likelihood of improving their educational systems. And since they won't be able to get into the military, even more will take up meth addiction and sales, rejecting Kentucky bourbon for some strange reason.
