Indeed. I find it funny that people think of Michigan as small (even myself sometimes, and I'm from there!), but it takes 12 hours to drive from end to end, and, barring Alaska, has the most shoreline of any state.
I would say he has kept this in mind: he is making (boatloads of) money teaching people how to magically mathify finance. This is infinitely less risky than investing.
Analogously: if you want to make money at a casino, get a job as a dealer.
Probably has to do with the fact that people who are teachers in Michigan are either new, or teachers from schools that are shut down.
Citation please? I know several people with teaching degrees in Michigan who would be very strong teachers, and stay in the state waiting for a current teacher to retire or die. This is in spite of the crappy salaries that await them.
There are people who want to teach because they understand the importance and nobility of it. Unfortunately, because the systems are so bloated with bad teachers (when even mediocrity should be considered unacceptable), many of these would-be excellent educators can't find a job.
There's a couple things to consider here. First, to the drivers who say that many bikers largely ignore traffic laws, especially red lights, they're right. But when was the last time those drivers drove to work without speeding? Without forgetting to signal a turn? Without taking their eyes off the road to change the radio, talk on the phone, etc.? The difference is that when a biker breaks a law or does something stupid, he puts himself at risk. When a driver breaks the law or does something stupid, he puts the biker at risk (as well as himself). So "share the road!" comes from the fact that bikers are in more peril on their way to work, and a larger part of their safety is reliant upon others not doing stupid stuff.
As far as being better than everyone else, it's tough not to feel that way when you're passing stopped car after stopped car (which is legal where I bike) in a traffic jam. Then there's also the fact that except for hang-gliding, maybe, biking is just about the most energy efficient way to travel.
To reclaim the oil, you have to boil it. Seems like on many scales you would use more energy "wringing out" the paper than you would get from the recovered fuel.

I would bet an enormous percentage of the people in the Chinese prison system are of East-Asian descent.
I think it's interesting that many are willing to acknowledge consciousness and self-awareness (which are pretty metaphysical concepts when you think about them) and the physical world's effects on them. Why is this necessarily a one-way relationship?

I am planning on buying an HTC phone because it is good hardware with FOSS on it.
Because anyone could miss Alaska, all tucked away down there.
