The point is this is likely to be about 1-2% of their GDP. They could handle it.

Which state isn't in debt now? Without being able to just print their way out of it, the US is bankrupt now. Texas at least has a way to make capital. They have nearly a captcha on refineries and oil delivery ports. Not to mention the huge petroleum reserves, new fracking fields etc.

Which state has the ability to make more money, Texas if they add on a dollar per barrel refined or delivered or Michigan if they add a hundred dollars per new car manufactured? Texas has big ag, big cattle/sheep, big oil etc. Texas could go their own way, but we won't let 'em.

I saw her walking in that outfit, and it made me think, she has to try to not be gorgeous. She has to be "made down", or probably would raise the ire of many a standard maid.

Lakes Michigan and Huron are actually one lake, NOT two as most people learn. Therefore, it is larger than Lake Superior.


Shouldn't we add Lake Superior to that list as well as they connect and are on the same level?

They are not the same level, Lake Superior is at a higher elevation.

Superior is connected to Huron/Michigan by a river and the Soo locks, and the water only flows one way.
