The United States is enormous.
332 million people live in the USA. There are 2.25 billion acres of land.
If every American was perfectly spaced out, each person could have 6.7 acres to themselves.
Alaska alone has about 365 million acres, which means we could have every American move to Alaska, give each person one acre of land, and still have room to spare.
@wdmorrisjr Best quote I’ve ever heard regarding parenting: Being a parent is ultimately a game of tug of war in which you must lose. Slowly, but you must lose.
@PeterCBlack @ussoccerplus_ And what happens next… college? And what do those teams play like? Is their potential from there? Europe is fantastic at developing into the next level. The U.S is just not. Currently.
@MelansonFinn I think 50-75% of athletes then would still be elite now. It’s hard to say because you perform, at least some what, to what you are compared to. That’s my opinion.
