    Fact #101: calling an ambulance in America costs around 900$ to 1300$ (depending if it's basic life support or advanced life support) so if you are not bleeding to death or have lost a limb, you better start walking to the nearest hospital by yourself.

    • @fenian123
      @fenian123 Рік тому

      Iowa is not even in the top five. Farm Milk Production
      Major long-term trends in U.S. cows’ farm milk production include a fairly steady increase in milk production and the consolidation of dairy farm operations. The top five milk production States in 2022 were California, Wisconsin, Idaho, Texas, and New York. Collectively, these 5 States produced more than 50 percent of the U.S. annual milk supply. In terms of production, milk cows generally perform best in areas with dry, cool weather. Most U.S. dairy cows are Holsteins, a breed that tends to produce more milk per cow than other breeds. However, Jersey and crossbreed cows have gained popularity in recent years, as milk from these breeds tends to contain relatively high proportions of milk fat and other milk solids compared with Holstein cows.

    More Facts (but not useless:
    *The United States owns the Last Spanish Colony in the world,
    *Puerto Rico who are U.S. citizens since April 11, 1899. 4 years after the civil war and *Congress used and still uses antebellum Southern Slave Trade Legislation to create the Jones Act to prevent the island from ever becoming a state and to limit their rights. Last used in 2020 by Congress.
    * Congress considers puertoricans to be subhuman, uncivilized but good for domestic and hard labor.
    Hence
    *The Puertoricans ARE US citizens but without the Rights & protections of the Constitution.
    *The USA extracts 32 billion dollars from Puerto Rico and Gives Puerto Rico 2 billion dollars in Public assistance.
    * The US gov Publicly declares puertoricans as a liability for the US economy.
