Aren't those all technically foreign beers since interbev owns them?

Where does it say they are American beers?

from here http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...fa-corruption/

Pantone, shmantone, that's for the peasants. The US Government has its own standards, called Federal Standard 595C.
You can buy the 595 3"x5" color chips for only $50... EACH.

May as well get the whole set:

When Americans die most.

Interactive infographic w/ pictures documenting everyone killed in the US by police.

Spoiler alert: It's a lot of people.

No way ... BaceFook isn't on there...

They might have counted it under "religious activities."

...or 'socializing & communicating'.

I'm assuming masturbation comes under (or all over<---:lol2:) 'other leisure'.

Not so much a chart or graph:

I've lost the article connected with this chart, probably found fairly easily, but, not by me, I'm lazy.

Link for the above chart.

So they asked an average of 78 people from each state, who were willing to participate in a poll, willing reveal to strangers what guns they have at home, and none of which lied. http://cellar.org/2015/shades.gif

The feds claim there are well over 200 million guns in the US, so looking at those numbers some people must have more than one. Imagine that.

I doubt DC has the gun ownership that chart shows.

Yeah... That's pretty high. I wonder how the statistics math works out if you divide your sample into subgroups, and then provide statistics on them.

4000 may be a decent sample size for the nation, but how many DC residents were in the 4000, and are they a decent sample for DC?

How much happiness can you buy?

Do you think it would take only about $10k for a person in Mississippi to be as "happy" as the people in Nevada ?

I think it would take a lot more than that for all those states
down thru Wyoming ... something more like a moving van

To sum up

Are you upper middle class?

It doesn't get much better than that, huh! The fuck you want to trade your Audi in for a Beemer? Hey, more money more problems, am I right? Here, if you're going in the kitchen, refresh my scotch.

One company's new minimum wage: $70,000 / year

What they're saying is folks in Mississippi with $65k are as happy as in Nevada with $75k because of the difference in costs.

I think it's along the lines of where your attitude flips from "it could be worse" to "it could be better". Buying a better car/house is nice, but not as awesome as your first car/house. Diminishing returns, essentially.

Looks like we need to retire to Mississippi.[/fuckthatshit]

From HuffPo

I don't understand... the Amazon Prime price for everything is the same, except for AK and HI.

Amazon's warehouses are distributed so that all warehouses are the exact same distance from any house in the lower forty-eight.

Or not.

:D

I wonder how NY would look if it were separated into NYC and the rest of the state. Or California into greater Los Angeles, greater San Francisco, and everything else.

Coal isn't going away, and you can't blame it all on China. Many third world countries are increasing coal burning, even if they have to buy it from exporting countries, because it's cheaper.

Lawsuits against the police.

Who's not online... nobody here.

First base.

Go to college, they said, you'll make more money they said

If we educate our society we will all be rich they said

"The most educated generation in history is on track to becoming less prosperous, at least financially, than its predecessors."

Welcome to the new era; your Uber driver has an Masters in Psychology and cannot get an office job for shit because there are thousands of MS Psychs just like him/her.

NY Times story

They stressed education and competition because they charge you for it.
The real path to better living for the masses, is cooperation and solidarity.

Sheez... "median" statistics used by a Wall Street financier whose final goals
are reducing entitlements and the federal debt, and who makes no mention
of the effect of the 2008 disaster due to the banking industry's fraudulent
manipulation of "derivatives", with their impact of subsequent high levels of
unemployment and/or under-employment for the next 7 years.

Table 440:
Distribution of earnings and median earnings of persons 25 years old and over,
by highest level of educational attainment and sex: 2011

How do they determine the highest level of sex? Frequency? Variety? Closest to a pig's 30 minute orgasm?

Altitude?

I wonder why they didn't just use sales figures?

Grey Goose? Never even heard of it.

And why isn't it Gray Goose?

Because it's vodka, and all good comrades know that A is for American capitalist pigs, but E is for Everyone loves vodka.

France.

:eek:

Crown Royal/Jager for KY:

That's the younger app-happy generation skewing the results. The bottle of Jager at the bar I go to most regularly has dust on it. Literally.

Overall it's a shootout between Jack and Fireball. Can't stand Fireball, I'm not wild about anything cinnamon.

Trump should shut up and stop bad mouthing Mexico, we owe them money.

Send Mexico a baby-sitting bill for taking care of all these Mexicans we got...That should more than balance things out.

Good article on how people are spending their time. It also break it down by age groups at the link.

Water usage per capita, by state. As you can plainly see PA and NJ, has shaken off the outmoded notion of cleanliness. ;)

Maine's got them all beat. But to be fair it's hard to use water when 9 months out of the year it's frozen.

My mom was visiting her brother recently in California--you know, the place with the record-setting drought? And he starts showing her his flower garden, and my mom asks what his watering days are.

Because in Texas, you see, we understand what the word drought means, and we have watering restrictions--addresses ending in 1 water on Monday only, and only for ten minutes, and only between the hours of 7 pm and 9 am so it doesn't just evaporate in seconds... And this isn't a new or emergency measure, that's just what we all do in the summer every year, and sometimes during the winter too, because them's the rules.

And she describes what she means, and he has absolutely no idea what she's talking about. Because there is no such thing in CA, because they are idiots.

I left California because of idiots. I'm a Native Californian.

WTF is up with Hawaii? 165??? Doesn't it rain like three times a day in Hawaii?

Swimming pools, maybe...

How is California like granola?

Once you take away the fruits and flakes all that is left are the nuts.

Counties ranked by "Natural Beauty".

The US Dept of Agriculture fails in so many ways.
Economic development is a contradiction of subjective values.

Immigrants are doing what? Where?

USDA seems to think Washington State has 3 counties of low beauty.
Here are some pics of those counties:

I'm with Lamp on this one. Where's my torch and pitchfork?

How can Los Angeles be considered more beautiful than some of the most pretty spots in upstate New York?
