OK - this is funny.

This is why our voting system is insane. (It was designed for a different view of government, where the states govern the people and the federal government is the government of the states, but now that it doesn't operate at all like that, it doesn't make any sense.)

For those that don't know, a watershed is a geologic area from which all water drains to the ocean. The pink area is the Mississippi river basin which includes the Missouri, Ohio, Platte. Allegheny, Red and Arkansas rivers (among many, many others)

This is not at all surprising, since nearly half the population in this country lives within 30 miles of the coast.

Cool Map.

Nice. I always get a kick out of the places that close school for an inch of snow. You don't even need to wear a coat for 1" of snow.

This is not really surprising, I think

I love how florida hates itself

Why is Canada building some sort of corridor to Mexico?

... and this is the downfall of the American election system called the electoral college.

This one is saddening.

Alaska is so tiny!

my house is in the border of very loud and very quiet. I can hear trains, a freeway, coyote howls, and owls hooting.

for a large country like America, why is there no push for investing on high speed trains to cross the states?

Can’t leave....... In-N-Out!!!

Damn.

I wonder where reservations fall on this chart.

To hear a lot if Americans talking, it would be much higher.

From watching US news recently, this may change

Caribou. I just love it.

This is Hilarious to me, my ex-husband was raised in Alaska from 7 year's old until 22 year's old & heard a ton of weather stories 😅 😄 😂 😆 🙃 🤣 😅 😄 I've been there 4 time's but alway's in summer though!

All astronomy hopefuls, please step to the left.

"Albuquerque, we have a problem"

"Albuquerque Center, Air Force One" "Air Force One go ahead" "Albuquerque, show us now as Special Air Missions 26000." "26000, Albuquerque, roger." Noon, August 9th, 1974.

Cleveland covers Detroit's air space?!

i love how like theres literally just CITIES taking over the air control, and not actual states

Explains why so many US citizens show a heartbreaking ignorance and why a guy like Trump could become president.

I "refuse" to comment

Hawaii: 19% Federal, 81% Zuckerberg :/

Thanks for posting this. I keep hearing this name and have never seen one.

Good grief, Georgia is insanely Waffled.

Do they did it ex profeso to have a pi number of counties?????

I’m not sure what to do with this information

AND LOOK AT WHAT Y'ALL DID!!

dang

In reverse, this must be the outcome of the 2020 election. Trump is setting up the "corrupt election" playbook so that when he loses, he can claim the election was fraudulent. We need to do the same thing Reagan did and OVERWHELMINGLY vote the morbidly obese pathological lying vindictive narcissistic imbecile with the emotional maturity of a toddler (AKA tRump) out of office.

um where are the five counties that make up NYC, all five have GDP's over 100B on their own

give it a month.
