Off topic. But does anyone know why it seems like countries and even states (like Florida, I'm from there) seem to have worse economies as they get closer to the equator?
- ars 13y agoI've noticed this too. My theory is that the harder life is the more successful it is. Which is the opposite of what you would expect. In hot places shelter is not really needed, you don't need to store food for the winter, and you don't need as much food (although you do need water). In cold places you have to plan for the winter, and that effort translates into improving your life in all things, not just shelter and food.
