"It’s as if North Carolina, which has about the same population as Sweden, sprouted a new city the size of Raleigh in three years."
A meaningless sentence to anyone outside the States. Can someone write to Bloomberg and tell them how the Internet works?
- mc32 11y agoWell, if you're on Europe, the presumption is you know Sweden. For Asia, a little more than Laos, or you know, use the internet....
- estefan 11y agoI get the North Carolina - Sweden thing, but Raleigh...?

- pille 11y agoIt's pretty meaningless to me and I've lived in North Carolina. I have no idea what it would be like for another Raleigh to spring up there, plus North Carolina is not a nation state. I think it's just hard to come up with useful analogies for huge-scale events like this. But yeah, it seems pretty phoned in. Try this: imagine the crowds you have to deal with going to a major mass-market sporting event, now imagine 8 of those, now make it last for three years, and now set the end date to "indefinite".
