Let's see... dollar sign? Well that cuts out a lot of the world. Written in English, so that leaves about 3 countries. Australia doesn't have a tipping culture the same way we do in North America so that leaves either Canada or the US, in which case you can replace state with province and cover your bases.

Plot twist: he's been lost in the foggy woods for a year and has come full circle.

You can buy human bones legally, and if it's in storage I would think that it was acquired legally, but it's also Florida so could be anyone's guess.

This doesn't account for the work they had to do at home. They had their own food to harvest, animals to tend to, clothes to make and the materials to make those clothes didn't fall out of the sky. They had to chop firewood, mend the home, cook the food from scratch. Their mandatory holidays weren't spent pursuing a hobby, traveling, playing games or consuming entertainment. Those days off just meant they could do all the work they needed to do at home instead of doing all the church's work on top of their own.

The Amazon listing says the balls are phosphorescent and doesn't mention batteries.

It's the 10th amendment. All other 9 amendments and many thereafter are in relation to human rights.

And states rights and human rights can actually go hand in hand, as seen by state legislatures that have passed assisted suicide, same-sex marriage, and legal cannabis laws. It has also been used to ensure electors cast their vote for the nominee or candidate who received the most votes from the people.

Unfortunately it's also been co-opted as a racist, misogynist dog whistle.

If charging dinner to the company is going to tank your P&L, you've got much bigger things to worry about. And no, they ain't going to promote you because you saved them $30.

If your talking about the firearm mortality rate, the top 4 states for firearm mortality are also the top 4 for homicide rate... there are a lot of similarities between the two and a strong correlation.

Illinois doesn't even rate in the top half of states.

Between 2008 and 2016 115 domestic terror incidents were far-right inspired, 19 were far-left.

Since 9/11 73% of violent extremist incidents that resulted in deaths were caused by right wing radicalism.

From the KKK, to Oklahoma City, to Jacksonville and El Paso, the vast majority of politically/religious motivated gun violence were far-right inspired.

So originally anything west of the Appalachian mountains was called the west. Then as they explored more of the land and gained territories the line that defined the west moved to the Mississippi, making the territories between the Appalchians and Mississippi the Midwest.

Now the regions are split based on census data, and there are huge swaths of land in the West and Midwest that are sparsely populated so they are larger regions in size.

It makes sense if you actually look into it and take a 5 minute google search to learn about it.
