Just for future reference: France, Germany and Japan all require you to buy health insurance. I'm sure there are more. But one example is sufficient to show you are full of shit.
You're not supposed to make a career out of a minimum wage job. You prove that you can show up on time and sober for six months, then get a better job.
It's more than die from droughts, forest fires and mudslides in all of CA (obviously, in an average year). You'd have to go back pretty far for earthquake casualties to get there, if you include the great SF earthquake, you should include the Chicago fire for fair comparisons.
Then we can get into which city has the most corrupt police in the nation. LA doesn't hold a candle to Chicago or New Orleans in that respect.
S. Gross drew some cartoons about 'butt aliens' landing on fire island. The caption was 'The natives are friendly, they fed us.'
IIRC it was in 'National Lampoon's: Cartoons Even We Wouldn't Dare Print' (could have been 1 or 2). Though I've found the torrent of all the pooners, I haven't found those two books.
For commodity products, price is closely related to cost. Cars may not be pure commodities, but taxi rides are pretty close now that 'medallions' are mooted.
There are use cases that automatics just can't do. Downshifting in anticipation of a corner is the main one. With paddle shifters to override the 'automatic' features they become almost as good as a real transmission.
Russia has had, more or less, the usual mix. Peter the great vs. Ivan the terrible. Granting their system was FUBAR though the 20th century.
Henry the 8th wasn't exactly sane and stable. Hell most leaders of more than a couple of centuries ago were pretty close to Hitler. If they had movie cameras in Charlemagne's time, he would be grouped with Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler. To say nothing of the various genocidal popes.
Just for reference, population estimates for all of Europe (where it hasn't been inflated by agendas) at the dawn of the bronze age was about 100,000. Estimates of 10s of millions of natives living in the Americas is simply politicised nonsense. The land couldn't support that many people at their technology level.
This whole thing is driven by the scammy nature of most early American colonization, explorers claimed 'streets of gold' to raise funds in Europe. Now dumb people take _all_ these claims on face value to claim 40 million natives had lived in the Americas. before smallpox killed them. It's just hippy mythology.

You think the Civilians will all be on one side?
Hint: Which side of the political spectrum is better armed? Has stronger gunfu? If it comes to civil war, it will be a short one.
The Chinese government has changed some policies, but the 'Communist Party' * remains the only legal one.
Does the USA still have the same government as when Nixon was president?
* yes, yes we know, not a true Scotsman.
Go for it. Do hold your gun sideways, like all the cool kids?

Bullshit.
The EU spent _more_ on stimulus than the USA. Much much more, if you include all the money flushed down Greece.
Ethanol in the sewers does me no good.
Nations that spent more on stimulus had slower recoveries. But it hard to find a true apples to apples comparison.
Missing the ethanol food group.
20 years ago 3M hired about 100 CA engineers and tracked them. At the end of the second winter they had 1 left, he was from there originally.
3M doesn't even try to hire CA engineers anymore.
'cool and cheap...Austin'. When was that? Being cooler than the rest of Texas _isn't_ good enough.
Inflated is relative.
Sacramento, at least, isn't full of Bay Aryans. Except downtown of course, which is full of want to be Bay Aryans.
Sac is about as close to the bay area as anybody with sense would get. It's not like we aren't familiar with the hell hole.
The biggest idiots are the ones who believe the Americas could support 40 million people at stone age technology.
There were only a couple of tribes that had just started to make bronze. Comparing American natives to bronze age Europe is being generous.
IIRC an average of 3 people/year die in Chicago from ice falling off buildings. You can have it.
Most venues sit empty, most nights. It would take changes, but it is not impossible.

Nobody bluffs in chess. Geopolitics is poker.

Found the low skill Indian.
Except you'd have to have a whole chromosome (second Y) transferred.
Statistically speaking, Stonehenge has _fewer_ astronomical alignments then would be expected by chance.
