China has CO2 problems for other reasons. For example, it's large corporate entities that burn most the coal and produce the CO2. Sure per capita the emissions are lower but really it would be much lower if China had environmental regulations for it's businesses to follow, but it doesn't. That's kind of why they have "Crazy bad" air pollution. Furthermore to say " Greenhouse emissions should be taught based on population of a country" implies that it's mainly an individual person that contributes to bad environmental practices, where the average human does some unsustainable things, I personally do not run huge factories or decide on how electricity must be generated, I have limited options to recycle and can't make artificial islands from landfill to then plant trees on. My point, it's people who has control over the large outputs of CO2 who can actually do something. I find it irritating that the average population gets "shat on" for something that the rich toffs have always had control over.

Because of the COVID border closures, support is growing in the community for a purchase to be made by Canada for the peninsula, meaning the US could be losing some land area including the most northwestern place in the US besides Alaska. Many government officials for the US government is also backing the plan because of the anomaly and annoyance of the whole situation. I would love to talk about it more!

With the price of beef, Australia is maxed out on the chart. In reality, beef in Aus costs on average $6.60 per kg. The average Australian makes $6000 per month which means if an Australian only spends money of beef they'd be able to buy 909kg of beef. It's more of a climate thing. Cows don't like to live in torrential rain so beef in the UK is hyper expensive to produce.

while rail does follow population density the population clusters in the US still have lackluster connection within

About your point on trains, a major reason why Japan and Europe have train lines is that after the world war, Europe and Japan were razed and had an unique opportunity to build up a new, modern infrastructure.

You need to make a whole video just about cows

Australia "sucks at railways" because the main cities with like over 95% of people are so far away from each other due to the uninhabitable area all over the country, that there is not much point to travel by trains, and, since all the cities are on the coast, no railway networks connect the more inland areas.

The commonly levied complaint that money gets funneled to certain areas with more population or that are the capital makes a little more sense when you also consider that people in those areas tend to earn higher incomes, and how much taxation burdens them in that area may in fact be lower than the lower population areas with less infrastructure (also that there being way larger numbers of people relative to how much the overall area contributes to tax revenue potentially, meaning we're also looking at them paying less per person). The other thing is, while it's usually true that the higher population areas (and any areas with fossil fuel industry, oil money is still huge) contribute more in tax revenue, that's only a small aspect of analyzing the complex relationships that hold an entire country together as a unit. The population centers and everywhere else are still ultimately benefitting each other by being attached (usually). Then there's the question of how this money is acquired in capitalism: If important labor for a business is occurring in a rural area where they earn less money for a company where the higher paying offices are all in one of the population centers, you can see how it starts to look unfair, and reminiscent of mercantilism and colonialism, only on a domestic scale. It's more obvious when you look at modern international examples: Coffee beans and other crops grown in Ethiopia that are sent to Switzerland who sells coffee products at a massive profit margin, diamond and coltan miners in the Congo, any and all sweatshop labor. If one can recognize these as exploitative, or China's construction of infrastructure at the expense of essentially buying up infrastructure as such, it shouldn't be too hard to see how things occurring domestically could be seen as much milder forms than that. Maybe not as dangerous, but important jobs outside of the richer area paying less, and the workers not seeing the benefits of their work or getting the most out of the fruits of their labor.

This post was mostly just supposed to be about infrastructure and spending, but some more stuff: In theory, it's supposed to be cheaper to pay for the infrastructure in a smaller area with more people, but it ends up being more expensive despite things running more efficiently. Yes, bigger and better buildings become more expensive to build and have stricter building codes, but that really isn't the driver behind costs. See, gentrification. Because things like housing are a commodity to be bought and sold on the market, more people living in an area raises rent and property taxes because the property is considered more valuable, both in terms of having more people to access and do business with, and just more people are bidding to be in the area. The fact that a residential building doesn't need to be at its occupancy limit, and non-stubborn sellers and renters can lower what they charge should be the kinds of things that tell you the pricing isn't really tied to their expenses. Things become a problem when there's high wealth inequality, or rich people decide they like the area, and either move in or buy properties they never actually go to (see China, again). If they'll pay a higher price for housing in a certain area, the other people selling housing will feel like they can charge higher prices too, and displace people already housed by pricing them out. If someone willing to spend more buys up the property, what's it to them? Not super relevant to the public funds thing, but I think gentrification does tie into the broader point about what can seem like domestic (or not) colonialism. Edit: I guess another part of the reason I brought this up is because not everyone in one of those richer areas is necessarily earning more. They may benefit more from the infrastructure than someone in a rural area does from not having infrastructure, and they might get paid more because it's a more expensive area (not necessarily to scale with the cost to live there), but wealth inequality in a capitalist system still hurts the poorer people.

"We do not vote as land areas; we vote as population." Someone needs to tell the US senate.

One thing that lets you know just how sparsely populated the center of the United States is, is the size of the lots people build their houses on. On many of them you could run livestock, but they reserve them for their children to play on, and for private recreation. You can't have your kids wallowing in chicken poop after all. The amount of land you live on also seems to increase with the size of your income with the exception of some major cities on the east coast such as New York where you can be wealthy hand live on no land of your own, or in Detroit which is almost an abandoned city where you can be very poor and if you want to risk living in some of the more dangerous parts of the city you can have as much land as you want. No one cares if you use the land next door because there is no one living next door, and it is unlikely that anyone will live next door anytime soon. So you get to use the land tax free.
