What kind of land do 100 largest landowning families have that it’s not covered under other categories? (Other than timberland in the top left?)

I'm excited for the possibility of being an ethical cannibal. Imagine being able to take a tissue sample and then grow a steak that's made of you.

Belle Delphine was a pioneer with her bath water. Can she do it again?

You can stop eating meat at any point. No need to wait for lab grown.

False assumption. He said he wants lab meat. Hard stop. It is implied by the hard stop that he's ok with current things OR doesn't eat much/any current meat, but after that unknown, looks forward to lab meat.

10

That's like saying "you can just not go to war"

Yea great you solved war forever.

People aren't going to stop eating meat, it's not a reasonable solution. Lab grown meat is a potential solution

Social conditioning is a hell of a drug. I eat a fraction of the meat I used to but it's still hard to completely stop.

Imo we don't need a lot of people to become full vegetarians, we need everybody to eat less meat.

Maybe because half of Arizona got turned into fucking cow "pastures" and alfalfa farms for some stupid reason.

For foreign governments to buy. That way they don't have to use their own water to grow it. Not even joking give it a Google.

Except for the part we're Arizona is running out of water for their residents so these farm owners can make a profit by effectively selling the water to another country in the form of food for cattle.

Ah capitalism.

no way urban is that big compared to rural

does urban here include suburbia??

13

Where else would suburbia belong? The images I've seen from the US looks very much like urban environment

11

Yes it does frequently include the suburbs. Also there are LOTS of small cities that are urban - its not just NYC and Los Angelos. Its... Irvine, CA. Its... Portland, Oregon.

No section for parking lots? That would probably take up about 25% of the map

10

Most likely part of 'urban commercial' and the housing sections

11

daily reminder that most of the land that is used to grow livestock feed is land that is not fertile enough to grow things like wheat but can still grow things like grass

9

Yes, you are right, for pastures. The category Lifestock feed is soybean, corn, wheat, barley and triticale, all that goes into the stomachs of monogastric animals (pigs, poultry, ... humans).

The locations are arbitrary, it's just visualizing total land usage. In reality everything would be intermixed

Nope, it's official, we're all moving to Vermont now. Your current home will be demolished in 72 hours or less.

Please. My shithole house was built more than 100 years ago and despite all the repairs and improvements, its original design was likely its best and easiest to maintain. Also the rural location is bad. It was a great town 100+ years ago.

I think you'll find that Wyoming is the state with the fewest people.

You're right on your main point, though, it's not exactly Manhattan 😄

I assume this is overall percentage across the US, and it’s not implying that certain regions are mapped to certain industries.

the blue part at the top should actually read "federal, national, and state parks made up of stolen tribal lands".

4

I think that's true of the entire country, except maybe the desert between Phoenix and Vegas.

The position on the diagram is arbitrary, it just shows the proportion of land use type

You wouldn't make the same comment but referring to skin colour instead of trisomy. So please don't use trisomy 21 in such a context
