USA explained in 15 hilarious maps (video)


These 15 maps hilariously explain the United States of America
(Nick Johnson) Feb. 22, 2022. These maps show why our portion of North America is failing, but they're totally funny. Maps, they’re very good at helping to understand a place, aren’t they? We can look at a map of the United States, but it isn’t really helpful in understanding what it’s really like in each state.

Maps can help us think, What if?
So we’re gonna look at a bunch of different maps so we can really understand what the U.S. is like. These are maps that hilariously explain it with additional insights.

One map shows where there are more bars than grocery stores in the U.S., depending on where one lives. The red dots are areas where there’s more bars than grocery outlets. Another map shows where all the different races in America are located (ghettoized). There’s a map that shows where the highest paid public employees in each state are hiding. Almost every single one is a football or basketball coach at a big college. Here’s a map that shows the fattest countries in the world. There’s an interactive map that shows how fast Walmart grew beginning in 1962.

Okay, so we’re the most overweight nation on earth. We’re also number one in prisons per capita. The orange color is where half the county’s wealth is, and the blue is the other half. Half the country’s wealth is in those few little orange areas. This map shows how big Alaska actually is.

This shows us which countries have the most soldiers stationed in other countries. Guess which country gives new moms no paid leave? The USA. Here’s a U.S. map that shows where no one lives. Here’s a look at the happiest states in the country. Here’s where all the McDonalds are clogging arteries in the U.S.

This is basically a look at what each state is interested in by looking at their popular search terms. Here’s the most recognizable brand in each state. Okay so... here’s all the countries that still have a death penalty. This map shows where there are more single people based on gender. Here we can see the amount of snow it takes to cancel school by county. Here’s a map of every tornado in the last 50 years. #unitedstates #politics
