They headed due north at a steady trot and by morning, exhausted, hungry and thirsty, they found themselves on the deserted sandy north shore of the island. As they staggered along the shore they came across what certainy must have seemed a mirage. Sitting on the sand in front of them was a 2 liter can, filled to the brim, with ice-cold beer. As it turned out, it wasn't a mirage and herein lies the problem. Tyrone & Sam have only the can to drink from, and absolutely nothing around to measure the depth or amount of beer. How can they share the can of beer so that they can each be certain of getting EXACTLY half?

There are these Geniuses who have nothing better to do, than do population density equations.
At great cost to the tax payers came up with this equation that would serve the world to make it a better place. I thought it was interesting, maybe you will to.

The USA has 3623420 sq ft. Now as anywhere only half is usable land. Leaving National Forests and public lands for schools and government offices. Only half can be counted as private property to live and grow food on and raise cattle or what ever.

So divide that in half. You have 1811710 sq miles which is 640 acres per sq mile.
So now you have 1,159,494,400 acres of usable land. To apportion that out to make a good population density you have to figure 4 acres per person. So the USA was designed to hold comfortably.

289,873,600 Population. The problem is we have now over 300 million or over 10,000 to many people.
So what they have decided is not clear to me except that some 10,000 people has to migrate somewhere else? Why did they tell us we have to many people when from Oklahoma to California is open country.
Void of any life. They covered that. Everyone is jammed into cities. So they have to leave the city and move into farming country. I just have one question about that, then where would we get the food?
What do you think of this intensive study ? I mean as a tax payer you paid for it?
