      @@coleball6001 I don't like the fact that 100 families basically control our food supply by the control of the land for it. The other reason, is that it is unlikely that this fact just occurred 'naturally' through simple market forces of supply and demand. There have been concerted policies using government influence towards monopolies that have resulted in this outcome. It is almost like the opposite of market forces, and so we no longer see a very competitive market in agriculture. Your question misses logicial seequence. Instead I ask, Why would anyone want to become a farmer if they would have to compete with or need to succomb to the pricing power of the behemoths. If there is one way I would advocate change would be to get money out of politics, a perversion that has led to big agro, and many oligopolistic outcomes.

And when Italy unified in 1870 the HRE officially ceased to exist, since it lost the italian part, and became the austro hungarian empire, changing its flag. If the HRE was just a german thing it would'nt have been the mess that it was, it would have become a unified monarchy like France or Spain by the 12th century, ruling the german vassals was the easy part of being emperor, the real problem was to deal with the italian noble families, republic city states, and the Pope.

    That's interesting that Weyerhaeuser is on the map and how much they take up. My dad is a logger/log truck driver and he's cut their trees and hauled their logs a lot (among several other companies/private landowners). I've heard him talk about them almost my entire life. A lot of times, we'll be driving somewhere and we'll be surrounded by woods and he'll tell me that Weyerhaeuser owns likes thousands of acres there. I know people kind of frown on logging, but my dad considers himself somewhat of an environmentalist and a lot of those companies like that just have tree plantations where they plant, cut and replant. A lot of the clear cutting is either done by individuals who are clearing for development or they clear it and replant. Most logging operations in the US are pretty responsible. And usually, the loggers don't even own the land themselves - they're just doing whatever the owners want. I've been to a lot of job sites with my dad and worked with him for several years and the land looks really ugly and destroyed after clear cutting, but it's usually only temporary. Everything rots, disappears and regrows or is replanted - unless they're keeping it clear.

    Just FYI:
    The "educational background of world leaders" map is inconsistent on weather they choose the head of state of the head of government. Evidence:
    1) The UK's prime minister (head of government) in 2018 was Theresa May. She is a bachelor of science in the field of geography - so the UK would be black on this map. But it is actually red (for military background) as the Queen of the United Kingdom (head of state) was trained as driver and mechanic in the army during WW2, achieving the female equivalent of "captain" on merit.
    2) Germanys Bundespräsident (head of state) in 2018 was - and still is - Frank Walter Steinmeier. He is a doctor of law, so his educational background would color germany light blue. But it is colored black (for maths and science background), because the Bundeskanzler (head of government) in 2018 was - and still is - Angela Merkel, who is a doctor of physics.
    Conclusion:
    The UK is colored for their head of state, Germany for their head of government. I didn't check the rest ;)

      @@irrelevant_noob Okay, that would explain some of the inconsistencies... for example all the Commonwelath realms have their head of government as reference, except the UK which has the head of state (as discussed above), because when asking "Who leads Canda?" nobody would answer "Well, the Queen ofcourse.", even though that is as true as it is for the UK.
      But then Austria remains questionable, because they have the exact same system as Germany, so _clearly_ the question "Who leads Austria?" should return the Chancellor, not the President, right? But the color is teal (indicating the economic background of president _van der Bellen_ ) and not blue or grey (indicating the started, but not finished degree of law of chancellor _Kurz_ in 2018).
      Honestly, the more I look at this map and check the countries, the more I get the feeling that it was done by an american or a south african who doesn't understand the difference between head of state and head of government, because for them it's the same *person* even though they are different *functions* ...

      I'm not sure. Those divisions seem to be based on the idea that state borders should run along the lines dividing ethnic groups. Which could be more stable than arbitrarily splitting ethnic groups by state borders and having those fragmented groups share their state with fragments of other ethnicities. The Yugoslav wars were such a mess because the borders of the constituent states did not align with where Bosnians, Croats, and Serbs actually lived.
      However, I think in practice most large communities are not 100% Serbs or 100% Croats and people are a lot more mixed. Going purely by ethnic majorities when defining state lines would likely cause minorities to feel even more like minorities, which could make things worse.

    A thematic map is a type of map that portrays the geographic pattern of a particular subject matter (theme) in a geographic area. This usually involves the use of map symbols to visualize selected properties of geographic features that are not naturally visible, such as temperature, language, or population.[1] In this, they contrast with general reference maps, which focus on the location (more than the properties) of a diverse set of physical features, such as rivers, roads, and buildings.[2][3] Alternative names have been suggested for this class, such as special-subject or special-purpose maps, statistical maps, or distribution maps, but these have generally fallen out of common usage.[4][5]

      Is most of Australia even viable as pasture? As I understand it from reading Jared Diamond, most of the grazing in Australia is done by sheep and it's incredibly damaging to the environment, notably desertifying a lot of land because, as the grass gets eaten, the thin top soil disperses.

      @@JohnMoseley Not with the standard definition of pasture. Central Australia is mostly desert scrub that is viable to cattle, camels. There are cattle stations in the center that can be close to 1 million Hectares and run thousands of head of cattle, but have to a rate of only a few cows per hectare. They need helicopters to perform any sort of rounding up etc. That section of the map that shows the few % of human population, are close to the ares that grow "pasture" and would run crops and sheep. In australia a common farm grows wheat and sheep, feeding the sheep off the wheat stubble, and off the fallow feilds as the wheat grows.

Angola is also there, a country which is growing quite fast and has built dams that has restricted the water flowing south, endangering the beautiful wildlife habitats greatly.

    I’ve seen the cow pasture thing and it’s almost always misrepresented. There are large parts of the United States that are extremely useless. If anyone has driven through parts of Texas New Mexico and Arizona they know that you drive for hours upon hours and see nothing of value. That land will be considered cow pasture on the first map. They do graze cows on most of it but it will be one cow per 2-5 acres. So a very small amount of cows per amount of land. If it were productive land that could be used for anything else it would be but it’s very dry and remote. Also I’m curious how the huge parts of the western half of the United States that the federal government owns is displayed on this map. A large piece of Southern California is federal land also Utah Nevada and many other states are owned by the federal government and a lot of it for the same reason as the cow pasture, it’s useless land. Appears to me the map was put together by someone to show how “wasteful and ignorant” the greatest country in the world is. Disinformation on display. Gets clicks right?

    • @elijahculper5522

      A whole lot of land could fall into multiple categories. A lot of grazing land is federally owned. And a lot of it could also be considered a desert or idle/fallow because it’s just a barely useable part of a ranch. Also, the land owned by the 100 biggest landowners is going to be used for something. And there’s no way this map can be accurate without including Alaska and Hawai’i. “Food we eat” would include maple syrup, barley, corn syrup, and alol the ranching land. And there’s no section for land that’s used for energy production like coal mines and oil fields. The map is an absolute disaster.

Our Earth is more of a flat plane with vastly different topography. one of the things I have found interesting about the continent size disparity topic, and whatever they actually stretch them.I'm not sure if it's the upper continents or the bottom continents on the globe but think that United States and Africa are relatively the same sizewhen in fact our entire country could sit inside of the Sahara.one of the interesting I think things that I have found about this is that as you take b flat Earth map and put it on a ball ,perspective of this supposed shape of the earth 🌎, you actually can one a good match up to what we are taught the globe isball because once again it's a different map and vastly different navigating techniques would be needed...further into the southern hemisphere they were. well if you understand that we live on the flatterer then you can begin to decimate and understand why that is. Acme North Pole the top of the ball would be the center of our circular map...not spherical. And the quote-unquote South Pole is literally all around Antarctica is not a continent it is a ice wall impenetrable barrier. It is the highest elevated walkable service on Earth they say. However those giant chunks of the map that I mentionedmight have other land Admiral Byrd in his interview in like 1933 or 5 or whatever it was imagining 233 being there he claimed there was an entire continent that had not yet been explored by humans.also 50 million dollars a day stolen from us by NASA (Hebrew for: to mislead and deceive) center in the North and then everythingidea what is beyond about 72 miles above us.and that information is obtained from a document that is no longer secret or confidential it was released to the public called operation fishbowl.Truth is I could go on about many documents like every agency for aviation in any countryan airplane by the way not an are planet

Here is a few suggestions.open your Google Earth and go to wear Alaska and Russia have a nice bit of water weigh in between which is around 50 miles from Shore to Shore with an island in the middle therenow focus on that point and zoom out slowly until you can no longer zoom out in your Google Earth anymore they say that the farthest satellite we have in orbit is 400 miles from the Earth in spacecan you honestly say you can still see the waterway in between Russia and Alaska clearly can you clearly see itfrom 400 miles out because they claim that the farthest satellite from Earth is 400 miles so we're assuming that for the sake of the argument.
