Kind of true, but it is industry and agriculture that use most of the water. Ordinary people and residences use only a small fraction of that.

No. The crescent of high black population does not show strongly and West Virginia is strongly represented here while also being mostly white.

Academic results are often not particularly popular when published. If you want something popular, readable, and profitable then I would suggest you might enjoy some fiction such as Harry Potter. Let me know how my prediction turns out.

There is some good analysis of these questions in the book Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction by Philip Tetlock and Dan Gardner

2018 is a long time ago at this point. Just to toss out one example, I work near a park on 5th between Bryant and Harrison that just got ripped out and fenced off to keep campers out. Progress on this is not easy but it is happening.

Where in San Francisco, though? The museums in Golden Gate Park are quite nice.

These numbers do not match the problem either, so posting this is being annoyed and acknowledging the problem but not really being honest about what is going on or why. For example, how does this map to public toilets or recently shut public toilets?

Really interesting that NH had so few. After the war ended a great many veterans of the war came to NH to settle. This resulted in a kind of cultural pulse that I could still feel when growing up there, especially around the middle of the state. Very strong negative sentiment toward Confederate states and citizens endured for long afterward.

Reply to Newly discovered species of bacteria in the microbiome may be a culprit behind rheumatoid arthritis by geoxol
Arthritis is strongly associated with inflammation. It seems quite possible that this bacterial infection somehow takes advantage of the inflammation. Especially in the presence of sustained high blood sugar, which is extremely common especially among people with persistent inflammation, the conditions for unusual bacterial flare ups could be generated. There is increased blood flow, warmth, and excess blood sugar all together. So it seems likely that we need to think about arthritis as a systemic condition with multiple related factors.

This kind of thing is exactly why the Biden administration warned all Americans to immediately leave Russia back on February 13th.
