This is prettier than the chart on the Kansas reddit forum. Bright green for Kansas, and Virginia is a whole state in natural gas slate.

Reply to comment by Spillz-2011 in Tesla value as it relates to Twitter's purchase [OC] by datawazo
Oh. There wasn't much publicity for Tesla, to my knowledge, before Musk came. Musk really is like Harold Hill. Hill successfully created a market for brass bands but would include as a critical part non-working music lessons, and then jump ship just before it could be proven they didn't work. When Tesla reached public awareness, expectations for electric cars were so low that Teslas still met them. (I have a relation who still believes electric cars can't go farther than 40 miles a charge, like the ones GM leased and lost in the early 2000s.)

No. Musk wasn't necessary. But he was helpful. He was a little like Harold Hill in "The Music Man."

Without Tesla, the electric car might still be all but nonexistent; the oil companies could have stifled them indefinitely. Without SpaceX, America would not currently have a space program that includes manned missions it launches. His products are still flawed, but Musk and cos. got them off the drawing boards and helped show there was a market for them.

In my area, many developers get one permit to build an entire development. Thus, several hundred houses in Kansas are missing, as the areas in eastern Kansas with capita do get new single - family housing developments, and get several dozen houses per development. They even throw in schools, parks, and community centers.

America already bans direct cigarette advertising on television, and had since the 1970s. A decade or two ago, they decided that naming events after known cigarette brands and having inescapable cigarette billboards should also be banned. We lost the Winston Cup then, though I presume the event has another name. Cigarette sponsors would lock out a critical niche of World Cup viewers.

Yes. OP's misfortune to fail to name the most common type of film in their key. I could figure it out from elimination -- there shouldn't be many other types of "other." But making the typical film "other" is like having most of your moving boxes marked "miscellaneous."

Shortages on materials to make films that weren't war movies or propaganda. After 1945, the rise of low-budget filmmakers. Short films had no stigma before television was common, and that didn't start before 1948.

Black is the standard fictional film. That is the most common type and had better be the most common type.

No. There are such things as short films. There's an Oscar category for them, so some get released. In the 1940s, they were guaranteed to be included in the theatrical mix. They were the way to get news until television national news was invented. And many of the older theatrical cartoons were really short.

We are responsible. America cut down domestic oil production and a large oil pipeline, ostensibly for environmental reasons, and is then surprised that other countries won't boost production to lessen the spike in oil prices. Is oil drilling only bad for the environment when Americans are involved?

Who governs the various leagues in other countries? MLS includes their own governing authority as part of the league even though the guys in referee stripes aren't a team.

It is, as far as I know, the only league the United States of America has. Unless women's "soccer" is another league.
