re: #47 Nojay UK

I wonder, who the hell looked at the central/western US and said to themselves, “Every spring and summer the sky reaches down to the ground and rips everything loose and throws it into the next timezone. Let’s build towns and cities here! Yay!”

The American expansion into the middle of the continent was quite the rush - some of my ancestors did it.

Free land (ignoring the previous inhabitants), some of the best agricultural land on the planet, pour as many people as possible into it.

And it’s still mostly empty.
