Well it's interesting because I look to buy things on Facebook.
I'm in Australia and we have the same size population as Texas.
Yet say I look at items in Texas, there is about a quarter of the items that are listed in Australia.
I find that very interesting as their population is exactly the same yet they sell almost no items?
I have done this comparison many times over with different US states and it always seems very incorrect as though they are doubling the population size that they actually have.
Would this really come as a surprise seeming as all major countries have lied about things like this as a way of becoming the official worlds most powerful nation.
This was the same as the space race.
The US and Russia were considered exactly the same in terms of power, so how can one claim victory?
The Russians lied and said something insane. "We went to space"
The US knew that this paved away for them to lie because Russia wouldn't tell the world that the US was lying because then everyone would know they were lying first.
It was the space race.
Everyone knows we never went to space.
We can't even get things right here on Earth with several tests done and they tell the world that they managed to on their first few attempts to cross multiple environments that we now nothing about and nothing went wrong?
That we went into unknown space, landed somehow on an unknown planet, flew home perfectly, all on their first time?
Is it so crazy to think that Nations lie about their population when they lie about everything else?
