In Civil War I, the North was economically stronger than the
South.
In Civil War II, Republican cities and states are economically stronger than
Democrat cities and states. Republican cities and states tend to have less debt/capita than Democrat
states, less taxes, and a larger value for exports minus imports.

People are migrating from blue to red states. The data comes from the moving industry, which tracks moving vans that move between states. Data.
 |
|---|
Blue states tax more than red states.
 |
 |
|---|---|
Most of the oil and natural gas is in red states.

Urban areas tend to be blue and rural areas tend to be red. Almost all large cities are blue, even the ones in red states.
The following plot shows how each city voted in the 2016 presidential election, with Republican cities toward the top and Democratic cities toward the bottom. Most cities are Democratic. The horizontal axis indicates how the state voted. Text size indicates city size.

The largest red city is Oklahoma City. The city center is blue and the suburbs are red. The blue splotch to the southeast is the University of Oklahoma.
China dominates the production of most elements, with South Africa in second place. America dominates for only beryllium, rhenium, and thorium. The plot shows the fraction of world production for each element.

Macrometals are the metals mined by greatest mass. The macrometal superpowers are China, South Africa, Australia, Russia, India, and Canada. America has feeble production. The following plot shows each nation's fraction of world production for each metal. Data is from USGS 2018.

The plot shows the most endangered elements and where they are produced. Many come from conflict zones or from hostile nations. Most come from China.
 |
|---|
The endangered elements are:
Element Source Use Cobalt DR Congo Lithium-ion batteries, steel alloy Lithium Australia, Chile Lithium-ion batteries Rare-earths China All of the electronics industry, especially solar cells and magnets Germanium China Fiber optics Tin China Solder and bronze Tungsten China Superhard materials in the form of tungsten carbide Scandium China, Ukraine, Russia Aluminum alloy Phosphorus China, Israel, Canada Fertilizer Potassium China, Israel, Canada Fertilizer
There isn't enough lithium and cobalt to build an electric car for everyone in the world.
The ultimite limit to how much food we can grow is from fertilizer, and this hinges on phosphorus and potassium. Biomass power is vast, hence phosphorus and potassium are critically important.
Most endangered elements are endangered because they're produced primarily in China.
Elements that are important but not endangered include:
Platinum Canada South Africa Catalyst Palladium Canada South Africa Catalyst Rhodium Canada South Africa Catalyst Rhenium Chile USA Peru Poland Aircraft turbines Osmium Superhard metal Iridium Superhard metal Molybdenum Strong metal Beryllium USA Strong lightweight metal Tantalum Australia Brazil Canada Capacitors and is produced in Australia, Brazil, and Canada. Nickel Worldwide Steel alloy. Turbines Caesium Canada Drilling lubricant in the form of caesium formate Gold USA Canada Australia Currency Silver Mexico Peru Solar cells Copper Chile Peru USA Aus Chi Power wires Gallium Worldwide Extracted from aluminum ore Uranium Worldwide Nuclear energy Thorium Worldwide Nuclear energy
The following plot shows world production for each element. Endangered elements tend to be near the bottom.
 |
|---|
The embodied energy of an element is the energy required to extract the element from ore, in Joules/kg. Most of the price of elements is from energy. For steel, the energy comes from coal smelting and for most of the other elements the energy comes from electricity.
 |
|---|
Energy is used in every stage of industry. It's used in the production of primary materials, such as elements, chemicals, plastics, and lumber. It's used again to manufacture things with the primary materials.
The plot shows how much energy the world expends per year for primary materials.

|---|---|
Platinum group metals are rare because they are dense and they tend to sink to the Earth's core. They are mostly mined from metal asteroid craters such as the Sudbury crater in Canada and the Vrodefort Crater in South Africa. Metallic asteroids are rich in platinum group elements because they used to be part of the core of a planet.
Siderophile: Iron-living. Tends to sink to the core along with the iron.
Lithophile: Rock-loving. Tends to become included in rock and escapes sinking
to the core.
Chalcophile: Ore-loving. Tends to combine with oxygen and sulfur and escapes sinking
to the core.
Atmophile: Is a gas at room temperature and tends to escape the crust into the
atmosphere.

A 300 meter metallic asteroid has 30 billion dollars of platinum group elements, equal to world annual production.

The rare Earth elements are the ones in the row from Lanthanum to Lutetium and they tend to occur together in minerals. They are vital to electronics and 95% of the world's supply comes from the Bayan Obo deposit in China. Uranium and thorium are often found in rare Earth ore.
The Californa Mountain Pass mine closed in 2002. In 2010 China restricted rare Earth exports, prompting subsidies from the U.S. Government to reopen the mine. Mining resumed in 2015 and then ceased in 2016 when the mining corporation went bankrupt.

America was the first to harness large-scale hydroelectric power when Westinghouse and Tesla built a 37 MWatt plant at Niagara falls in 1895. They also solved the problem of long-distance transfer of electricity, inventing the alternating current method.
By 1930 America had built 10 dams with a height of at least 90 meters.
In 1945 America had the three highest dams in the world, the Hoover Dam, the Shasta Dam, and the Grand Couleee Dam.

The transcontinental railway was started in 1863 and completed in 1869, opening up the West to rail transport.
In 1828, rail crossed the Appalachian mountains.
By 1860 The North and Midwest constructed networks that linked every city. In the heavily settled Midwestern Corn Belt, over 80 percent of farms were within 8 km of a railway. The USA had 28900 railroad miles and the UK had 10400.

Who got the most bang for the buck?
Asimov sponsors the "Asimov Debates" at the American Museum of Natural History, and they draw a crowd of thousands. The debates cover exotic topics in science.
The Queen of England and 007 have a symbiotic relationship. The Queen has the money and 007 can get stuff done. It's a credit to the Queen that she bigly bankrolls 007. It's also a credit to the queen that 007 works for her. 007 doesn't work for just anyone.
Political offices are often purchased, and the money tends to go to oligarchs instead of the worthy. For example, money tends to flow to media executives. Senator Herb Kohl of Wisconsin set an example by donating lavishly to the University of Wisconsin and was rewarded with a senate seat.
The average spending required to win political office is:
Winner U.S. Total
Million $ Million $
U.S. President 1200 2400
U.S. Senate 25 2500
U.S. House 2 2000
State Governor 10 1000
State Senate .2 400
State House .08 700
This tells you how much to demand for each office.

For a philanthropist, we can ask: What fraction of your wealth did you give away? as well as the worthiness of the recipients. In the era before the French Revolution, the French aristocracy was arrogant, much like the modern Democratic party. It bit them in the ass.
The French aristocracy had an opportunity. They were rich and they could have spent their money wisely, in a way that gains goodwill from the people. They could have spent their money on a batsuit and a batmobile, and they didn't. Lame!
A modern billionaire could use his money to build an Iron Man suit and be a superhero.
What should billionaires spend money on? Think there might be a conspiracy? The oligarchy is bourgeouis with their 1700 private jets at Davos. There is an epidemic of bourgeois, including the oligarchy, Taxing the rich doesn't work. They're good at hiding money. Instead coax them to spend money on your community. Treat them like celebrities if they do. Billionaire shaming. There are good billionaires and bad billionaires. Good billionaires turbocharge communities and bad billionaires poison them. A community should coax good billionaires to move in and be villigant in excluding bad billionaires. A wise billionaire could use his money to become a celebrity and be beloved by the community.

Prince Ranier of Monaco chose a hollywood wife, and he chose wisely. Prince Harry chose poorly.
The French Aristocracy of the 18th century was arrogant and it cost them their heads.
The British Monarchy gracefully instituted a smooth transition to democracy, and they got to keep their heads.
The American aristocracy of the 21st century is arrogant.
Robespierre created a world of guillotines, and Robespierre got guillotined.
George Carlin: The oligarchs own this place. It's a big club, and you aren't in it.

A measure of the quality of a rich person is the quality of the jobs he produces. Elon Musk creates great engineering jobs whereas the Waltons and Wal Mart create low-end jobs.

The sports industry has inertia that protects existing sports and inhibits new sports. Most sports have awkward rules and better sports are possible. The most glaring need is for a better tackle sport, because the rules for football and rugby are awkward.
Rules should be simple and elegant. Good examples include soccer, hockey, and tennis, and bad examples include football, rugby, baseball, and basketball.
Football has the negative that it requires many coaches.
A sport should accomodate a diversity of body types. Rugby has roles for everyone, regardless of size. Basketball overemphasizes height.
A sport should minimize equipment. Football and hockey require excessive equipment, whereas soccer requires only a ball.
For football, the XFL courageously experiments with the rules.
Rugby and soccer have too many players. Either the number of players can be reduced or the number of balls can be increased.
