Do you think there will ever come a point when we stop finding big deal structures like this? Like there can only be a finite number of them to find.
Also, what was a discovery that made you really change your view of history in some way?

Done. But you'll get a design appropriate for the contribution.

Someone I play card games with makes charts like this for a living. And it's honestly amazing how good people can get at making this stuff. It's like a legit skill.
Also great job making this OP. Everyone seems really interested with the data, there's minimal confusion about what's being shown, and you're taking feedback really well.

Top tier wording for an obvious question. Well done.

Georgia has a LOT of counties, regardless of population. And it used to be a law that banks couldn't open across multiple counties (both systems raise more questions than they answer I think). So when there was a financial crisis, they had a lot of banks, none of which could hold up well.

I love reading about stuff like this in politics. It's easy to assume that politicians only act on their own opinions and biases, and that there's always a really easy solution if you just pick the "correct" side of a debate. But no, sometimes well intentioned laws are just bad. The same way some game mechanics are just bad. Because understanding how a gazillion rules interact and play out in the real world is actually hard and unintuitive. And it's so wholesome when we can actually learn from mistakes like this, and be better for it.

That was a really well written article honestly. No repetitive fluff, no opinion about Saudi Arabia, had all the information I felt like I wanted, and it was a really appropriate length for how much interest I had. Thanks for posting.
