Maybe it's because so many are dying there's more to go around.

That's the kind of statistic that seems poignant but actually tells you nothing. People live in cities. Counties are different geographical sizes. Metropolitan areas can be divided into counties differently.

I think LA is fortunate that it is all one county.

The DC metro area is split up between several counties in two states and a district and the Federal government has some jurisdiction over it too. Makes coordinating something regional, like the Metro for example, extremely difficult.

Just look at the size in red compared to the states in blue.

glatt · 12-11-2017, 07:26 AM

Each individual state in blue. Not all the states in blue.

But it is interesting that NJ, for example, has a smaller population than LA. NJ has some large areas of dense population. CT and MA too. That's kind of surprising.

Adjusted for inflation of course, and at the peak of the Tulip craze.

Some polls from Pulse Nation...

The country that has repeatedly tried to dominate the world and tried to eliminate idk how many different kinds of people produces the majority of the planets medications.

What could possibly go wrong?

A couple of points in the FWIW category.

(i) It came as something of a surprise to me that US exports are only marginally greater than those of the UK.
I assume that the huge domestic market eases the financial pain.

(ii) Switzerland's position was to be expected. There are only so many watches and cuckoo clocks you can export so the money machine that is the pharmaceutical industry is unlikely to fade away.
Decades ago, a Swiss firm* ended up in an almighty battle with the UK government over the rip off that they had perpetrated on the NHS.
My recollection is that they ended up paying back £400 million and this was in the seventies.

*Pretty sure that I remember the name of the company and the drugs that they overcharged for, but as there is scant evidence on the net to confirm my recollection, I'll leave them unnamed here.
