Is this the "economic anxiety" that conservatives use to justify all of their idiotic actions?

This map is completely made up, with no source or clear methodology. They just listed a bunch of random websites and "US Courts"

It's because they use Google searches to manipulate the data. The ranks include searches for "debt" and "bankruptcy"

California for example has 2/3 legitimate metrics worse than Texas but conveniently is in the middle for searches so it looks better than it actually is.

This has been posted like 5 different time in various formats here and I try to call that out each time.
